Hello folks, my name is John and I am new to the forum! I mainly use PS for photography but wander into the graphic design side of things now and again.
Right now I am struggling big time angle text in a precise way. As you can see below I am to trying to have text follow around the angles of the surrounding box but I am having big problems lining up the text correctly and ensuring it remains the right height (via free transform) and creating the angle in the right place whilst keeping the height and text the same on both sides (via vanishing point).
Any potential solutions would be a massive help! I've spent the last 3 hours trying to find/create a solution and I am at me wits end
oh and I am using CC
John
Can you point me to a tutorial on distorting text in PS CC 2014?
I've been asked, by a friend, to do a postcard like project that uses photos
behind text as done in the image attached of a billboard here in town. The
word is "FAIR", not "Orlando" as in the sign.
I know how to create the open text letters and all the other steps of this
type of project, but I don't know how to distort the text letters similar to
what is done here.
I've played around with putting each letter on a layer and trying to
distort them, but haven't had much luck in getting what I want.
Not asking for it to be done. Teach me how or point me to a tutorial,
please.
NOTE: All 3 samples are Kindle Erotica Book Covers. I couldn't find any non-erotica cover image.
Question - I want to create a simple Kindle Book Cover (that is, front side only) like the cover images posted below. I just want to know how to create the Text Effect. That is, how to create the Transparent (or opaque) bar and how to create the following text effects, both Title and Author Name Are the fonts or simple effects? Please help.
Please Help. Am using CS 5 Extended.
Thanks
Hi folks!
I don't use much text tool, but it's for curiosity.
When I type some word with text tool, all works fine, but when I tyoe a number or a dot in example, it puts in the beginning of the text...
TAL (Thanks a lot)
I'm trying to duplicate an Oklahoma City Thunder shirt for my university.
I know how to place an image behind text, but I'm having trouble getting it to look like I want. If I use one big text box, I can't get the letters close enough together.
If I use multiple text boxes, I can't get all the clipping masks to come together right.
Is there anyway to nudge the text together like you can in indesign?
Just looking for any help here!
Thanks!
I did find a post to this but the solution did not help me and it was over a year ago so I did not want to bump an old thread. Here was the post I came across
"I'm having a bit of a strange problem with the text tool on CS4 at the moment.
When I have drawn a work-path with the pen tool and then attempt to type along it the text does now show up and I cannot edit it.
The cursor changes when I hover over the start of the path to indicate that the type path is available but once I click and start typing nothing seems to happen. The name of the text layer changes to what I've just typed however so it is definitely inputting it somewhere."
This is exactly what I am dealing with now. The solution in the original thread said make sure the text is not white on white background ( mine is black on transparent ) and is left justified and not center or right. My text is left justified and it still does not show up. My text is Wet Dynamite. The odd thing is my font size is currently 72, if I drop it down to 48, the W shows if I go smaller it disappears again. Even at 48 when the W shows, if I try to retype, I still can't see the rest of the phrase. I have done this method before and had no issues in the past with this technique. This seems like a bug in CS4 to me.
Any help with this would be great as I can't get past this stage in my design and can't use the warp tool for text because it looks like crap.
Thank you for your time. Ive saved my project out into a test file so you can see. If you can load it and easily see or add the text in the top curved path, then I know there has to be an issue with my CS4
Hi guys,
Hoping you might be able to help me out. I'm working on creating a portfolio website to showcase various creative works of mine that combine both my photography, and my writing. The portfolio site I'm building is heavily image orientated so I'm working on a way to use images to present my written work.
My idea at the moment is to break my stories up into manageable 'chunks' and place them over images that help tell stories.
I've been playing around in PS today, trying to work out how this can be done effectively. What I created however, isn't particularly great and I was hoping you guys might have some tips for working with text in Photoshop??
The image below is what I've got so far (very basic and incredibly unfinished!), I used a random font I found that I liked (any things I should look for in a font?), used the skew, and perspective tools after converting to smart object and I created a bit of shadowing under the text. One of the issues I had was that it's awkward to know what will happen to the text when it's distorted so I found myself duplicating the first text layer to skew, then deleting, editing the text a bit and repeating to get the formatting. It was quite a faff, is there an easier way?
I would really appreciate any feedback, constructive criticism, and tips. I'd like to make this Photoshopping process as simple as possible for myself in the future so I can keep creating easily.
Cheers,
KQ
Hello,
I'm new to PS and new to this forum, so be kind! I need to edit the font used in my product category images and to do it I have tried filling the text in with the matching colour, and then retype the text. However the images have been created (as you can see) with a transparent layer over the actual product and in-between the text. So my question is, how can I fill the text in without losing the "transparent" effect? below is an original image and an image where I have removed the text by filling it in
Many thanks, Ben
hi guys! reserved here! i just recently started up a new MLG Team for my Gaming Community XGC "Xiled Gaming Community" my team consists of some of the best players within xgc and we need a logo, so i was wondering if someone would be awesome enough to make one for me?
if you decide to what id like is rather simple for right now, all i want is to have like a 3D style text maybe with the first text "XG" in bold and the color to be yellow, now i want all the text to be diagonal starting from the bottom left to the top right if possible. then right under that text i want "Xiled Gamers" same text same color. then behind all the text i was like a shattered glass effect right where the "XG" is going across the whole thing if possible. if someone could do this for me, my whole team and i will be forever grateful!
Hi everyone I'm a complete beginner with photoshop, I have CS6 I'm looking to copy a style of text from a photo and replace it with other text.
The style of text I am trying to copy is from a stamp so I don't think it will be in selection of texts available in photoshop, have tried looking around youtube for tutorials but I cannot find anything along these lines.
I've attached a photo of the text I would like to change, it says JUN 2014 I would like to change it to AUG 2014 using the same text.
Any advice much appreciated
Thanks
Hi Guys n gals!
I'm helping out a friend to make a few changes to a brochure. Question is can I make editable text fields that my friend can use in a freeware such as acrobat?
This would apply to head/bodytexts. The changes would just mean to replace words and sentences with new ones so no font or colorchanges is needed, however keeping text effects would be great if possible.
I've already tried using forms in acrobat pro9 any other suggestions?
