THANK YOU!!! Was stuck on a thumbnail for a week until I watched this and you saved the day. Incredible stuff!

[@PeafrogSims]

I have spent SO MANY HOURS recreating this look with brushes and masks in the past... This is such a game changer! Thank you!

[@Temersson]

I returned for this tutorial after a couple of months (after liking, subbing and bookmarking, of course) and I just have to say: this is by far the best in the world of grunge text. Hands down, the genius of it just blows my mind. A true pros tool: reversibility and adjustability... it's all there! Thank you so much for this gem, Sir!

[@design.with.nermal]

You are there, right at the top. I have been learning from each and every video of yours. And I am damn sure no one in this planet is so humble like you, to share knowledge and resource for free. You made me a career!

Awesome. Followed it step by step.

[@kjkahnle2230]

Great instruction and very well done video production. Thanks!

[@natalieromine]

This is so helpful! Thank you!

[@billolivari3930]

Excellent as always, Grady. A couple of thoughts- It might be worth it to add a slight deboss effect to better emulate block printing results. Also, consider having the paper texture “smoother” within the type to reflect the force of the press block on the paper.

[@danielleismann]

Love it! Now I understand how I can create more detailed fonts 🤩

[@user-hd5nz4qr1o]

thank you so muchhh

[@kittonsmitton]

Great Stuff.

[@stulan]

Hi Brady, thank you for an excellent tutorial. Can you possibly explain how the Blend Mode change at 3.53 creates a rough edge around the outside of the letters? I cannot seem to get this despite following along exactly. Many thanks, S.

[@ragnarlothbrok3307]

thanks a lot for this video.this technique much simple than others,best way to texturing ,could you please make a video about how to make vintage brush on illustrator

[@stonfrog]

Great tutorials! I only have one little tip for you, a high pass / low cut filter for your sound... or a pop filter for your mic (weird thing on an SM7B mic if that's wha it is, but anyway). It's booming on every "p" and "f" when I listen on my studio monitors, but it sounds great on a laptop. I guess it's some kind of a "voice over preset". Anyway, excellent photoshop stuff!

[@Texturelabs]

Cool, noted... Thanks man!

[@pgsibilo]

Man, where have you been? Thanks alot 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@multimadiyan]

Hi, Thanks. Is it possible to achieve the same result in after effects?

[@agis7172]

Can you make a tutorial on how to make different fabric textures? Thank you! Love your channel

[@Texturelabs]

Ya I'm always glad to hear ideas for tutorials... what kind of fabric treatment are you interested in?

[@johnsmith1474]

What of the resolution of a texture to the image/font size? What's a rule of thumb for various outputs? I struggled with this, and I suspect it is because I created a smaller image to start, with a slimmer font. It didn't seem to retain a black black or have sufficient edge grunge, plus it seemed just a tad too pixelated. Once my mind stops spinning I expect quite a bit of applicable insight so thanks a lot. Really nice production, but I'd like more warnings about dead ends to avoid.

[@sawyercoy6712]

Brady is this an effect you could make in premiere/after effects for video production?

[@gregkrazanski]

Nice. I feel like you would love After Effects haha

[@elissitdesign]

With all of the layer styles he uses I think he’d get extremely annoyed with them in AE. They’re extremely limited. They’re at the state of Photoshop 6.

[@olexyiklymenko8155]

Trying to adjust the same technique by making the same effect with white text, any ideas how to do so?

[@howardsend6589]

I am guessing a lot of this can be implemented on an imported Illustrator image?

[@eastraversupplies7843]

Fantastic. Thank you for sharing 🙏 Any plans to make after effects tutorials as well?

[@Texturelabs]

Thinking about it more and more. I've gotta wrap my head around how to approach it... with a Photoshop tutorial, I can quickly run through the basics along the way for people who haven't really used the program; with AE, explaining the basic principles in every tutorial would be so boring, ha. Just thinking out loud, but anyways, yes at some point!

[@eastraversupplies7843]

@@Texturelabs 😍 thanks for reply, looking forward for your AE tuts. Ben Marriott has that balance btw 🙃

[@viewstar9681]

What about Affinity photo is better than photoshop or what?

[@ardayildiz]

Amazing tutorial but I have a question to you my big brother. When I change the color in this effect it doesn't seems good. How can I change the color of this text?

[@rachelzimmerman9045]

I have the same question. When using only black, it is AMAZING. And then I'm not sure the best way to add color. It gets wonky!

[@ardayildiz]

@@rachelzimmerman9045 yeah you are right

[@rachelzimmerman9045]

@@ardayildiz I added a Color Overlay effect to the folder, with a Screen blending mode and the Opacity set to about 60%, and that seems to work okay, but if I have multiple colors I want to use, then I'll have to set up a different folder for each color with the texture applied to each one.. seems like there is probably a better/smarter way

[@ardayildiz]

@@rachelzimmerman9045 I guess there must be easier way

[@vivienlambert8025]

@@rachelzimmerman9045 I was going to ask the same question, how to do this effect on a coloured object? @Texturelabs Is the trick of setting up a different folder for each colour and adding a Screen blending mode to each folder the best thing to do?

[@FrankietheGoose]

I followed your steps precisely, but "Create Clipping Mask" is greyed out on the top layer, which is the texture image from the link in this video. I rewatched your video and I've done everything the same. Why do I not have the option to create a clipping mask for this layer?

[@FrankietheGoose]

Update: Once I when back and undid the step where I dragged the text layer down to the folder icon to put it and the effects into their own group, I was able to create a clipping mask. However, then I lose the effects we applied in the earlier step. Once I group the text with its effects, "Create a Clipping Mask" for the top layer, the grungy image, becomes greyed out and isn't an option.

[@m0nkeychemicals]

​@@FrankietheGoose This is the exact same issue I have, once I drag the text into a group folder there is no way to create a clipping mask on the texture layer. Idid some deep digging and it seems this is only possible with versions after CS6. I have resisted going subscription because I paid a lot of money for CS5 and it does everything I need (except this...) I assume your version is pre CS6 too? Very frustrating

[@dhongztv8285]

Is it the text is editable? Or can i change the text?

[@ceg2235]

Super easy? Maybe for the PS intermediate skill set, but definitely not for beginners brand new to PS. You moved way too fast. Ten seconds in and I was totally lost. I saw the title, "Super Easy" and mistakenly assumed it would be a good lesson for a novice PS'er. Of course, that's my fault as I am a complete newbie and instantly got overwhelmed. I am still going to subscribe to your channel as I hope to see if you have a beginner crash course - one that moves a little slower for a newcomer entering into this confusing intricate world of PS blindfolded. I am excited to come back to this video in a few months just to see if I can keep up!
