How to Create Realistic Printed Type in Adobe Photoshop

[@paddingtonpear3221]

Brilliant tutorial - 8 years full-time in the design industry, amazing to continue learning through things like this.

[@NosferatuG59]

This is the best video I've found for doing realistic ink and very detailed. Thank you for the help!

[@stephb4758]

A great video find - and I've looked through enough tutorials and videos before finding this one that worked for my design project, thank you! Love the texture changes by clicking on Clouds!!😄👍

[@Metalovai]

I would never think of changing the blend mode as you did at 9:50. Good to know. Pretty good effect, thanks for the tutorial.

[@bracken.design]

Cheers man! Yeah playing with blending modes of filter can lead to some pretty cool effects, cheers for watching!

[@nohopenofear84]

Best method on this I’ve seen so far

[@MasonHarris-jo2ch]

You're making a difference, one video at a time.

[@John_Morley]

This was very helpful thanks a stack. Quality stuff and dig the chilled vibe

[@Jake-um8yf]

This is such a great tutorial!! You really know what you're doing. Super clear and concise too 🔥 Learned so much. Thanks!

[@bracken.design]

So glad you enjoyed it and learned something! Cheers Jake!

[@Momotempo]

Yeah, I echo others, I learned a bunch of tricks in one here and I first used Photoshop in the 80s. I stepped through this with you and it gave me JUST what I needed, thank you. Plus, you did this so nicely it felt like we were on a work jam. Cheers indeed.

[@sharonj430]

Best tutorial on making this type of ink effect.

[@elijahsolorzano4668]

Guys I found that adding a touch of Gaussian Blur in the end brings it all together. In my project at least. Definitely recommend trying that if you’re making newspaper print

[@lordmaximus5]

Really great tutorial. I love that you explain what you're doing as well. Learned lots about photoshop as well as how to make the text.

[@CallusedFuture]

Super helpful for a newbie. Thanks dude

[@nickseitzer6795]

Okay! I finally figured it out! I should credit you, this was completely my fault. The key was to create a NEW layer and don't select the text layer when adding filters. I admittedly tried to skip ahead and paid the price for it! Well done! Where do I get the texture pack?

[@swelllab7481]

Well done. You could totally package these techniques into a PS action. Love how non destructive this is.

[@bracken.design]

Cheers! There are actually Actions included with the Print Textures pack on the site, making all this lovely distortion just a one clicker! But yeah, whenever I can keep type live, I love it!

[@swelllab7481]

@@bracken.design nice. Just stumbled onto the channel and now the site. Doing a full on Wayne's World "I am not worthy" over here.

Thanks mate, super nice tutorial

[@andyallen4633]

This is fantastic, thanks so much for putting it together!

[@khorinaguspriadana5475]

The best tutorial ever

[@Astlaus]

One gotcha I found is that the image must not use 16 or 32 bit depth, otherwise Filter Gallery won't work on Smart objects.

This was brilliant! Thank you so so much ❤

[@joshuarifareal2542]

man you deserve more subs!

[@elone3997]

Nice toot. You see so many people just parroting other people's ideas without understanding the fundamentals but you clearly do so well done on that. I also prefer wave over using ripple as the ripple does strange things to the horizontal\vertical distortion - their not uniform at all. Wave seems to be properly proceedural. Oh and on the wave randomise, from memory, it will probably be just changing the 'phase' or 'offset' of the waveform so basically just picking a different point in time. I wish Photoshop had better preview options for filters - it's just archaic and basically lazy on their part. Also including some more fractal noise methods would make it SO much more flexible. Adobe just haven't done anything in this area since forever and it's kinda laughable at how basic their interface is. Anyways, rant aside, good job buddy! 👍😉

[@collectnsell]

when i get to the filter gallery stage, its always white instead of black. i checked the bottom. the black squre is on top of the white squre yet its still white when try to use the filter gallery

[@dixieechann]

this is a great tutorial

Damn I can't give this video enough likes. Thank you so much!

[@TahliaReid]

Super helpful tutorial! I'm wondering if you can make the print texture created in photoshop transparent as well? Thanks!

[@bracken.design]

Yeah, if you take any texture that black and white like this one, you can make it a transparent texture by doing the following: 1 - Make only the texture (that you created) visible 2 - Create a solid black layer above your texture and make it invisible 3 - Then, create a blank white layer mask for this solid black layer 4 - select the layer mask of this black layer and then (making sure your texture is the only thing visible) go to Image > Apply Image. In this dialogue box there should be a checkbox for 'Invert'. Make sure that is check and click ok 5 - Then if you make you black layer visible you'll have a transparent texture layer that has all the versatility of the transparent print textures that you can recolour and stack and do all sorts of fun stuff to! hope that makes sense and helps! It's a fun technique to 'extract' a transparent texture out of anything!

[@frKahEmeka]

Super helpful. Subbed

[@omt2544]

love that bro

[@Nutsboss]

How would I go about changing the color of the text after this?

[@lawrenceleith3618]

Good man!

[@kurtkgledhill]

Superb! Thank you very much!

To my untrained American ear, you have the exact Liverpudlian accent as The Beatles.

Hahah, sadly not, more Manchester

[@alexandraant909]

Hey there, thanks for the great tutorial! I'm trying to apply these filters to a coloured image and I was wondering how would that be possible without changing to black and white base colours before starting to apply filters. Because if I do, I end up with a weirdly distorted image. Thanks!

[@lorenzosantigli9206]

hello, i'm following ste by step this tutorial but when you click on "filter gallery" i cannot, it's literally unclickable and i don't get why

[@marcisrancans]

Can someone help me? I do no tknow why cant I select noise>Median, but just add noise to the filling?

[@threespeedforreal]

Sweet baby loren impsum!!!

[@SethParker]

Every time I do a highpass on my clouds layer it turns like a brown instead of greyscale.... and I'm unable to use the filter gallary. I don't know why it's like greyed out... Anything I'm randomly missing?

[@keltstrogner3429]

This is a BANGER tutorial. One question, how do you get the lorem ipsum placeholder text??

[@ancestrallmusic]

tis bro

[@sorrellorama]

How do you do this with color text?

[@RachelAnaDobken]

hey there thank you so much this is so awesome. Is it possible to export this or drag between so its transparent and still editable as a smart object?

[@solarklinghoferbar-dov2402]

my filter gallery just goes white- not textures. But my colours are set to black and white. help?

[@thosearepinklemons]

I think the only thing you missed here is incorporating the paper texture, how that can show through the ink itself as well

[@klydesosa7286]

instead of doing textures just create clipping layer and use textured brush to erase some part call it done

[@bracken.design]

That's another great way of doing it!, our new product 'Print Shop' has heaps of brushes for that exact technique

[@Asiafrndz-qy8rz]

Hello ! I just found your video because I'm currently working on putting more textures in my work, it may sound stupid, but how do you get so many settings when you apply a filter? I'm working with the classic Photoshop settings and I can't figure out what makes this possible. Thanks.

[@Colinaivan]

Hi, the image must not use 16 or 32 bit depth, otherwise filter gallery won't work on smart objects.

[@pedrosa9020]

[@temitopeadepoju1401]

Thanks for the video. Been trying to subscribe on your website for newsletters. It aint working. Kindly fix u. Thank you

[@TvheadArt]

Is there anyway to copy over these affects from one text to another?

[@Rubytuesday957]

I was thinking the same🤔

[@outmusic8877]

Is there a way to resize the clouds? because the texture I get is "too big" if you know what I mean, but I need it for the whole forma, and I can't resize it

[@bracken.design]

Hey, sorry for the late reply, if you apply a High Pass filter with quite a large value, you'll see that it gives the effect of 'shrinking' the clouds pattern

[@coolandcalm7328]

Hello

[@willingways5534]

19:50

[@eamitbarman]

Psd please

[@manucumpleanito]

when i use the tool High pass it turns like a brown color, not grey

[@bracken.design]

Hey, are you in CMYK? when the colour mode is set to CMYK, it makes effects that would usually look Black and White, look a muddy brown colour. If this is the case, then switch the document over to RGB by going to: Image > Mode > RGB Hope that helps!

[@manucumpleanito]

@@bracken.design hi man, how’s your day? At the end the problem was that 🤣, the thing is that i usually work on CMYK and i forgot to change it to RGB… Nice tutorial!

[@krishna8184]

You yap alot

[@nickseitzer6795]

I make it to the part where you say you need to create a clipping mask.. then you alt click.. and don't really explain what happened... my entire screen is a cloud and I can't seem to fix it. In those moments it's important to slow down and explain precisely where you are clicking. I've watched this 50+ times and still cannot figure it out.

[@joshpeterson1004]

I think he’s alt clicking on the border between the two rows in the ui, in other words on the line between the two layers

[@alanmf3806]

This video unlocks so much photoshop potential for.... whatever... really.. LOVED the tutorial but I do have to say that I am sickened by the way you zoom in and out stuff... other than that, amazing vid!

[@petrosros]

Wasn't Letterpress the name of a paper based font system, pre desk tops, 1970s early eighties. You used it for titles, headlines etc, rubbing on the back of the paper onto another piece of paper. You would then do something called paste-up, with your typed pieces inserted. I should also say back then, publishing anything anti-establishment was very difficult, and printers would not touch it. Early Anarchist publication like Class War and Crow Bar were both done on machines called Gestetner machine (Mimeographs) a very crude kind of photocopying. Interestingly, all photo-copiers were capable of being audited, anyway they cost as much as a house. It was like the Soviet Union, but called the UK, and I bull-shit you not. As I was very involved back in the day.

[@bracken.design]

I think that might be 'Letraset' or Dry Transfer sheets, amazing sheets of fonts and design elements that you could rub onto paper with a lollipop stick. I think Chris Ashworth owns all of it now 😂
