In this tutorial I will teach you how to create and use text effects, (Waves/CutLetters/AddVectors/Warp/Curves)
THIS ALSO WORKS IN PHOTOPEA BUT WAS MADE IN PHOTOSHOP
Photoshop
Create a new file with size of 1850x1080
First you want to create a text using the “text” tool or “T” keybind.
In order to resize text use Ctrl T in photoshop and Alt Ctrl T in photopea.
After your done with that you are gonna want to open Blending Options by right clicking the text layer
At blending options you can mess around with strokes, outlines, glows, textures and more in order to help your text look better, in my case I am gonna add a black stroke with the size of 25 but it’s your choice.
Waves
In order to add a wave we are gonna use the pen tool to create a wave like shape (P keybind)
Once again we are gonna go to the layers tab but instead of Blending Options we are gonna go to “Create Clipping Mask”, that would clip the current layer to the layer below you
Your layer tab should look like this
You can now change the wave color by double clicking the wave image
CutLetters/AddVectors
Make sure you rasterized the layer before doing this or it will not work
Resterize by right clicking the layer again and selecting “Resterize Type”
Now if your wondering how we remove a letter and replace it with an image, here’s how!
Select the cut tool (M)
Then zoom into the letter you want to remove with the magnifying glass, in my case I will be removing the “E” from “TEXT”
Slowly select the “E” with the tool.
Now press “Delete” on your keyboard
Now you can deselect it by using Ctrl D
When your done just load in any image and resize it to fit the gap between the text
Then group and merge (Ctrl G, Ctrl E)
Warp/Curve Text
Warping and curving text basically means you will be changing the text perspective
In order to warp and Curve text make sure your text is rasterized, once that is done transform the text (Ctrl T) was in that mode right click the text
Now select “Warp”, now you can change text perspective and size customly, if you want to use a template for the warp I’d go for Arc, but it’s your choice
In order to change the template go to Warp: Custom, change custom to any warp template.
