Text on textured surfaces
Open the photo with the textured surface that you want to place your text on. ![]() Go to Image -> Duplicate ![]() A new window will come up asking you to give the duplicate image a name (wall copy) ![]() Now save the duplicate image as wall copy.psd. Close the duplicate image. Back at our original Image. Select the text tool and type your text. ![]() The next step is to rasterize the text layer. Right click on the text layer at the layers palette and choose “Rasterize Layer”. ![]() Go to Filter->Distort->Displace ![]() You can experiment with the settings to find the ones that better suit you needs. ![]() A window will come up asking you to select a displacement map. Find and select the duplicate image that you created at the start of the tutorial (“wall copy.psd”) and press open. ![]() Here is the result of the displacement filter. ![]() Change the text’s layer blending mode. I used “Overlay”. When using different colors for the text or the color of the background layer is different than the one I used for this tutorial, other blending modes may work as well. My final result: ![]() |
