zanderbly Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 like this. I have already downloaded several fonts that I'd like to try with this, but how do I get the worn out/faded look? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Perhaps you can use a small blur or just lower the opacity the layer is on. :wink: Quote ---- Gallery | Sig Tutorial | deviantART | Sig Videos | PhotoBucket ----D E S T I N Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachi Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Perhaps you can use a small blur or just lower the opacity the layer is on. :wink: No, that's not the beat-up effect he is looking for.. The best I have come up with in replicating this effect is by taking a stock photo, making it black and white, selecting part of it with the magic wand tool and then pressing delete on the layer you want. I found a Photoshop tutorial that shows the main idea, and it can all be replicated in Paint.NET: http://www.biorust.com/tutorials/detail/181/en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how would I go about rasterizing the text in step 4? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APShredder Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 You can probably just skip that step and it would still come out the same. (I think...) Quote BlendModes Plus | Dissolve | Extract Color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHoward Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I've used a few ways... Magic wand the area, then render clouds. Adjust the brightness/Contrast until black and white. Recolour as neccesary, and feather. Or, the manual method i use on my signposts: magic wand carefully with a 1 or 2 size eraser/ paintbrush. It takes time, but it works...I wanted a worn look on a painted wood sign. THis is the second method: (Yes, I need to clean up the edges) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
