MATRIX TEXT

1. Set #003100 (Dark green) as your foreground color. Now Use the text tool and type outwhat you want, I used Arial Black, 36pt.

2. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur and click ok for rasterizing the layer. Set radius to 1.

3. Now go to Filter > Distort > Ocean ripple and set these settings:Ripple size: 5Ripple Magnitude: 10

4. Duplicate the layer and go to Filter > Sketch > Water paper and set this settings:Fiber length: 42Brightness: 70Contrast: 64

5. In the layers toolbar set the blend mode to Hardlight, or whatever you think looks better.Merge the two layers (Ctrl+E).

6. Duplicate the layer and go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and use these settings:

Angle: 90Distance: 33Set the blend mode to Hardlight.

This tutorial will teach you how to make text explode with light.

Create a new document in your copy of Photoshop.

Settings :

Now type some text with your pen tool

Use 48 pt, color black, the font is your choice.

The longer the text line, the more blur you will have to do. To keep it simple type in the wordTutorialMan with caps and lower case.

Now we are going to rasterize our text layer. Right click on your text layer and selectRasterize. Your text layers will now switch from vector to pixel.

We're going to add a new layer now. Right click on the text layer you just rasterized and select


3/55

Duplicate Layer

Select the new layer on your layer panel as your current editing layer.

Set your foreground color to white and click Edit > Fill.

Setting :

Now we are going to Blur your pixels: Select the menu Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.

Setting: 5.2

Changing your coordinate scale actually interprets that your pixel points have been in apolar graph and regraphs them in a rectangular graph which is the normal graph most arefamiliar with. (if you took advvanced math in hs you may remember the polar graph) What weare doing is changing the way the pixels are oriented, applying an effect to them in that newstate, then will change the graphing method back.

Select Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates.

Setting : Polar to Rectangular

Rotate your canvas to get your wind to orient correctly. Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 CW

Apply a wind to your active layer. Filter > Stylize > Wind.

Settings :

A little break in between. Your project should look something like this.


4/55

Apply wind a second time. Filter > Stylize > Wind

Adust the levelsby clicking Image > Adjust > Auto Levels

Click Image >Adjust >Invert

Apply wind a third time. Filter > Stylize > Wind

Apply wind a fourth and last time. Filter > Stylize > Wind

Rotate your canvas back to normal by clicking Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 CCW

Change your coordinates back by clicking Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates.

Setting : Rectangular to Polar

On the layer panel Set Layer Mode to Hard Light.

Now it is time to colorize your image. Click Image > Adjust > Hue/Saturation.

Be sure to :

Check the "Colorize" checkbox and play with the settings ofSet saturations up to the topSelect the Hue of choiceset your saturation down to the level you want .And you should get something like this

1. First let's create some text. Here we used Impact.

2. Then we want to turn this text into a shape. This will allow us to transform its shape in anyway we want. We can skew it and give it perspective. To do this go Layer > Type > Convertto Shape. After this is done, we will no longer have the ability to edit the text. So make sure

you have your text the way you want it before you do this.

Above is what your canvas will look like when you have converted the text into a shape.

Next we are going to transform it. Go Edit -> Transform -> Perspective. Grab either thetop or the bottom left corners of the transformation box. Pull the handle on the corner up ordown depending on which corner you chose. This will apply a perspective transformation tothe text shape.

Now that this is done, we will need to rasterize the shape in order to remove the shape path.Go Layer -> Rasterize -> Shape. This will create a truly rasterized image.


6/55

Notice how clean and crisp the text is after doing this. If we were to rasterize the type beforewe transformed it, we would end up with a fuzzy edge. By first transforming our text into avector shape, we prevent this from happening.

This is a great little trick that you will probably find use for at some point. It only takes a

second to do, but it makes a much better final product if you transform the shape first ratherthat rasterizing and then transforming.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Open a new document. (The size I used is 500x100) Now type some text, doesn't reallymatter what. (I used Arial Black 36pt)

2. Now hit CTRL + A(=select all), CTRL + C(=copy) and then CTRL + V(=paste). You havenow copied the layer. Move the new layer exactly above the original text layer.Hit CTRL + T(=transform) and click the right mouse button, select "flip vertical". Now movethe layer down by dragging it or using the arrow keys.

3. Hit CTRL + T again and now select "Perspective". Move the lower right box to the right.

You should now have something like this:

4. Now simply go to the layers window and lower the opacity of the "reflection layer" to

whatever you want. (I used 25%)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to select a long rectangle then fill with white as below.

Rotate the canvas 90 degrees Apply Filter > Distort > Shear with the shape below rotatethe canvas back 90 degrees the result should be similar to below.


8/55

using an eraser with the above settings erase the ends of the tenticle as shown

Duplicate the layer and position as required then hide the background and use layer > MergeVisibleReveal the background and it should look something like this.

Select layer > Layer style > Outer Glow and use settings similar to below adjust as youlike.


9/55

Finally select Filter > Blur > Blur more. The results should look something like this.

Here is an example of it in use.


10/55

1. First, set your image to 400x400. Or anyother size you want. Then press D to put yourcolors to default.

2. Next go to Filter > Render > Clouds, you should now have something like this:

3. Now go to Filter > Pixilate > Mezzotint >> Pick Short Strokes

4. Go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur

5. Press Ctrl+F to Blur Again.


11/55


12/55

15. Again, Duplicate the current layer. Then Set the blend Mode to overlay

16. Merge layers (Ctrl+E) and your done.When you are done it should look like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set the brush as above and brush across the canvas until you have a similar look to the onebelow.

Apply the filter > Distort > Ripple Effect with the standard settings repeat a further fourtimes until you achieve the look similar below.


13/55

Apply the Filter > Blur > Radial Blur Zoom 50%click Edit > Fade Radial Blur > 75%.

Set the eraser as above and brush lightly across the canvas until you have a similar look to theone below.


14/55

Apply a Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Set the radius so you get the required detail ofairbrushing Apply Edit > Transform > Distort to create the required shape depending on theblur applied it should come out something like below.



15/55

I have started with a render with the standard colorisation below

Set the brush as above and brush across the area required for general volume lighting similarto that shown below.

Apply Filter > Blur > Radial Blur Zoom 100%. The result should be similiar to below


16/55

using the above eraser settings. Lightly brush over the lighting like the image below

Apply Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur radius 2.5.


17/55

Using the above settings for the lasso tool while holding shift select from parts of the renderas shown below.

Now simply delete these unwanted areas from the volume light area.
