Thank God for this tutorial. I needed to carve something on a tree for a photography client of mine and couldn't figure it out. I watched six other videos with no luck. Your code saved the day. Thank you sir ! 👍🏼
Awesome! Good job. Really nice outcome. Tip: Instead of relying on the text/logo being white and then multiplying, use any color and drag the fill value (under opacity) to 0%. This way, the things in the layer disappear, but the layer styles are still visible.
I did not know you could do that in Photoshop. I'm used to using 3-5 of the Adobe programs on a daily basis, and it does not work like that in for ex. After Effects or Premiere pro. Thank you, nonetheless!
I know! It's not obvious, and I know you know your way around other areas of the Creative Suite ;), also, to center stuff on a canvas, have the move-tool selected. Select everything (ctrl-a) and use the move tool options to center the layer based on your selection. (Options are in the move-tool toolbar up top by default, not sure about shortcuts).
Thanks, but mine get messed up, might depend on what background I use? Cause I just want it on a white-ish background. It looks like the text is standing out and not carved :S
Hello ^_^ Thank you so much for your videos, I love watching them. Just a passing by question. I love the font you used, can I know the name of the font please? Thanking you in advance :)
Hi, I really like your effect but I was wondering, is there a way to make it transparent when there is no background? I'd like to be able to use it as a png over any texture... Thank you very much if you help me!
Technically, yes. You could make a grey map (a grayscale) and use it's light values to create this effect. To make it more effective, place your saved saved image of this on on it's own layer in Photoshop and switch between different modes to achieve your wanting. I would recommend "Overlay" as this is brilliant for light adjustment using gradient maps or any other grayscaled elements. Have fun!
Uniblue Media I did not really understand these instructions x) Note that I know only the basics, when it comes to blending options and effects I almost always follow tutorials...
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I actually didn't want my text to look as clean as yours did. I wanted my text to look more like it was etched in with a knife so I found that switching the font to Chalkduster and changing the style to Inner Bevel. Couldn't have done it without this tutorial. Like.
Wrong, that only works if the size of the text you're working with is more or less the same as his. The blending options settings, especially distance settings, need to be changed depending on the size, especially if you go smaller. "LOL".
Thanks, man appreciate the tips doesn't work as well for smaller text but regardless that little tip about copying layer style just helped me loads! Had to subscribe for that
why some creators think we want the music in background? :) i think vast majority of us come to learn, and not to be entertained, which makes the music a little bit disturbing. beside of that, great lesson. :)
Thank you so much. I am taking a college PS course, and have been frustrated. Your tutorials are clearer, easy to understand, and quicker! Thanks for including project files as well!
The step, 'go to the burning options for the text layer', I can't find it or info about where to find it. I'm working in Elements, and have never had a problem finding any tool, just usually have to look other places. Do you have any idea about where I could find it? Thanks!!
+Christa Blevins Well, I think I just found something that's just not available in Elements... I found the options to add a bevel and shadow, etc., but it's very limited on what can be done. Thanks for sharing, maybe I'll be able to get PS pro again sometime. :)
