Photoshop Tips

Texture Filled 3D Text

Open a texture to use for the project. You may save the texture I have by Right Clicking and choosing "Save As" to download (Mac: Press and hold mouse button on the image, Select Save from the popup menu).

Select the Type Mask Tool. Make some large text, and click ok. Center Selection on the Texture.

Go to Edit>Copy. Now Edit>Paste. This will make a new layer with the texture filled text.

Next go to Layer>Effects>Bevel and Emboss. I’ve made a snap shot of my settings below. After you finish with Beveling, select "Drop Shadow" from the popup window to bring the text off the background a bit.

Now you can place the text in another existing document buy selecting the Move tool and dragging it over.

To colorize your text, First make an adjustment Layer by holding down the Ctrl key (Mac: Command) and clicking on the New Layer button on the layers Pallet. Choose "Hue/Saturation" and click ok.

Double click on the Adjustment Layer to bring up the Hue/Satruation options. Check the box where it says "Colorize". I made a shot of the settings I used. Click ok and you’re done.
