lukemeish Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it Hello This Tutorial will teach you how to make chalk text The final result: (link to larger images:http://www.flickr.com/photos/lukemeish/sets/72157626546524818/) The first step is to make a new layer with a black background(Step to simple to be shown) Then in a new layer add your background chalkboard Now make white text on a black background: the less solid you want your text the smaller you make it(for now) later the text will be expanded. Add noise to the text Gausian blur at radius 1 And you can adjust the opacity of the color dodge layer to adjust the peak whiteness My gallary http://www.flickr.com/photos/lukemeish/ 1 Quote www.facebook.com/LukesCustomGraphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbieq25 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 There has been a question asked about spray can like paint. You could use this technique to replicate spray paint. I think lends itself to many other things too. Very good tute. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

lukemeish Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 UPDATE: Rather than small text 1 noise and blur Ive found its easier to do this noise gausian blur r=1 noise gausian blur r=1 noise dents scale=4gausian blur 1 (if edges are still to rough: feather selection) and still use curves and the duplicated layer for tone adjustment @barbieq25: Im thinking this could be used as a border Quote www.facebook.com/LukesCustomGraphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Oh yeah! Definitely! I'll give this a go for the next time I want a border. I promise! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
