Adobe Photoshop class for beginners


With this tutorial, I'll show you a technique that is if anyone wants to add text on a textured surface.

First, open the photo with the textured surface that you want to put your text on. For this tutorial, I will use a photo of stock of a wall.

We are going to duplicate our photo. Go to Image - > duplicate

A new window will come up asking you to give the duplicate image a name, choose a name that you will remember (I named it copies of the wall)

Now save the image in duplicate as the-name-you-a - it .psd. Make sure that you save it in any other format or .jpg format, it must be registered as a .psd. (File - > save as) You can now close the duplicate image.
Back to our original Image. Select the text tool and type your text.

The next step is to rasterize the text layer. Click the right button on the text layer in the pallet layers and choose "rasterize Layer".

It is the fundamental step of this technique. Go to filter - > distort > displace
You can experiment with the settings to find those that respond better that has need of you.

A window will come asks you to select a displacement map. Find and select the image that you duplicate created at the beginning of this tutorial (Mine was "wall copy.psd") and press open.

We are almost done, just do one more thing, the text of the change blending mode layer. For this tutorial, I used "Burn Linear". However, when the use of different colors for the text or color of the background layer is different from the one I used for this tutorial, other blending modes may work as well. For example, "overlay" works well for black text on light coloured surfaces.

You can see that the text now perfectly combines with the textured background.
