I’d say it’s not the font since the effect is continuous form one letter to another.
Easiest way to do it is to splash paint on a sheet of paper, scan it in and composite with the lettering.
I doubt it’s the font, since the spatters extend across the letters, and the spatter in the two G’s is different.
I would a layer with an image of a splash above the text layer, and create a Clipping Group Hold down the ALT key, and place the cursor over the line between the two layers in the Layers Palette; it should turn into two overlapping circles. Then click. The text will clip the splash.
You would need to either add a blue box to the ‘Splash’ layer so that part would be solid blue, or have an additional Text Layer for the blue text, which you could then group with the other Text Layer so you could move them around together
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the suggestions, I will try them out tommorrow. will let you know if they worked.
Cheers for that great response!
Much Appreciated.
Guys,
I dont know how to thank you enough but you all are true genius… glen deman that was a fantastic suggestion as were the other two, but this method is quicker for me and am gonna try it now! Thank you ALL for these wonderful techniques!
Cheers!!!!
Hi,
Sorry again guys, I know this will probably be the dumbest question ever but, How can I get the splatter image to affect the text? I created a mask which simply created a link to the text layer, now how do I get the mask to be the splatter image?
Sorry am not that advance on photoshop yet.
Cheers Guys
Vexer,
To make a selection from the splatter image, go to the Channels palette. Ctrl+click on one of the channels (red, green, or blue); this will load a selection that is based on the splatter pattern. In this case, the splatter was black and white, which means you don’t have to worry about which channel you Ctrl+click on.
Now, go back to the mask you created, and fill the selection with black. (and you might have to turn off the splatter image layer, depending on how your setup is). The mask should now hide the desired parts of the text. If you find that it is the reverse of what you wanted, just click on the mask, and hit Ctrl+I. This will invert the mask, switching around what is hidden and what is shown.
Hope that helps, feel free to ask more questions.
Hi Glen,
Thank you for your sefless help so far. I dont know if its me but, its just not clicking, maybe there is something that am doing wrong. Let me repeat the steps of what am doing.
1) I created a text layer (TESTING)
2) I Created a layer mask
3) I dragged the splatter JPEG picture into the PSD document containing the text.
4) Now the splater image layer is above the plain white text layer
5)??? What do I do next from here? this is were am getting lost.
Thank you and sorry for being such a slow learner.
Adding a layer mask can be a bit tricky.
If you can add one – any one at all – the ALT+clicking on the layer mask opens it up
Once open you can draw any stuff in there
I’d suggest keeping it to black and white and grays
The mask behaves almost exactly as any ordinary drawing area
Hi Deebs,
So what you are suggesting is that I open up the splatter image, add a mask and then alt click on the mask layer (with the splatter image) and then type my writting?
I’ll try that now. I have tried alot of suggestion so far. please keep them coming am sure I will get there eventually.
Thank you all for your suggestions
3) I dragged the splatter JPEG picture into the PSD document containing
the text.
You need to paste the paint splatter in the layer mask. Dragging and droping it won’t do that.
