This tutorial is a response to the following question: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=24344

Note: This is my first tutorial so rephrases/locks are welcome.

Plugins needed: Outline Object, MadJik's Plugin Pack, Channels, PowerStretch

1. Create a new canvas of 500 x 300 and fill with black.

2. Create a new layer and set the colour to red.

3. Use the text tool to write your desired text in upper-case, in bold, with no spaces.

7. Use the eyedropper tool to select the exact colour you used for the text, create a new layer and run the grid/checkboard maker. Uncheck "linked with horizontal", set horizontal to 300, vertical to 2, and check "foreground only" - then press OK.

Isn't this kind of specific? I suppose if your life's goal is to make that effect this tutorial would be great. But I think it is a bit specific.
