Very well done, the filter looks legit. Not too cheesy or tacky, appreciate your time and help, thanks.

A lot of designers are selling t-shirts these days... would be super cool if you also showed how this could be easily saved as a .png with transparent background and also letting the t-shirt color come through instead of white (unless the t-shirt was white).. great tut.

[@SoftwareManiacLSM]

A little complicated, but the results are just what I wanted. I took a lot of notes on each step.

I'm not sure where I'm getting mixed up here, but applying the displacement map just isn't working, as in it's not causing any of the expected grunginess around the edges. It's just making the text jump a few pixels, as expected, but no actual displacement. Edit: idk if it's just a change since you made the video, but I got it to work by saving the displacement map without the texture file as a smart object and it worked.

[@jays5601]

I'm having the same problem, but saving out the displacement map without the texture as a smart object still doesn't work for me. Is anyone having the same issue? The displace filter is just offsetting the text about 10-20px and that's it.

[@skarburettor]

You may need to save the displacement map as a PSD file for it to work.

[@arthurmelo615]

@@skarburettor guys, where I can find this displace map?

Great video!!! Are these textures on your website free for commercial use tho?

[@JasonThibault1]

Love all of your tutorials Chris. What software (screen capture/final editing) do you use to assemble these awesome videos?

[@spoongraphics]

Screenflow for the initial screen recording, then I compose the audio and edit the final video in Premiere Pro

[@jefftopping5542]

[@davidwolstencroft3017]

Yes I had the same question as in colour all my colours changed etc

[@Keithchan2024]

[@dogainci3393]

displace is not visible on my ps even if my text layer chosen :( help

[@erikmattson8629]

Your tutorials are absolutely brilliant. Thank you! But to make it easier to follow along I reduce the playback speed to 75% which makes you sound drunk. 👍😃

[@sayemn78]

Thank you.. can you show us how to do the same with Ai?

[@spoongraphics]

I think I have a similar effect for Illustrator somewhere on my channel, but you get the best results in Photoshop. It is possible to use textures in the same way in Illustrator, but it's still a raster based image, so in that case you might as well just use Photoshop!

Jesus, my guy, slow down. No need to rush.
