Advanced Grunge Techniques | Photoshop Tutorial for Text & Logos

[@nakleh]

Without a doubt the best Photoshop tutorial channel on KZbin.

[@iulianpartenie6260]

Wow! Where have you been until now? One of the best trainers I've ever seen! I subscribed for life. : D

[@Texturelabs]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@eddiesanford9754]

I appreciate so much how you're not just giving tricks, but you're also teaching us and showing us new ways to think. You rock! (And so does this video!)

[@LoayEl-Aswad]

Hello, Brady. Thanks a lot for the live way to create mattes without losing the possibility to edit original designs. This way, I can say bye bye to smart objects that increase the file size, a huge saver! I also wanted to help you out with your amazing work you're doing in your channel by telling you that the audio recording of this episode (and other episodes as well) has annoying whistling due to high frequencies that is very present (usually because of exciters and mastering), you can lower it a bit by "De-Essing" the audio in your regular editing program. I hope this doesn't bother you, I'm only telling you to make the content better and better.. giving back some of your generosity of sharing these valuable information. God bless you, and continue rocking KZbin!

[@handymads]

Your tutorials are making me fall back in love with Photoshop just like I did when I first discovered it 20 years ago. 🙌

[@chazecomztock]

This might be the greatest and most helpful photoshop video I've ever seen.

[@tareklarine5260]

The flexibility given by this technique using groups and clipping masks is just amazing

[@GSPonsonby]

I’ve been watching Photoshop tutorials for years, and I’m only now being shown your videos. Judging by other recent comments, maybe that’s true for a lot of people. Great effects and clear explanations. Keep up the good work.

[@Texturelabs]

Thanks that's great to hear... I think youtube makes you pay your dues for the first year, but suddenly the channel seemed to get the green light!

[@sarantos111]

Keep up. This channel will grow sooner or later. You are easy among the top 10. Just wait for it! Thanks

[@Texturelabs]

Thanks very much, glad you found the channel! It'll be fun to see if it can grow...

Learnt more in three videos than 1 year of other videos

[@Texturelabs]

Ha that's awesome

[@georgekontos4224]

you are such a G for this dude. I've only been on photoshop for about 6-7 months and I understood everything and this just answered so many questions I've had

[@haresheranga]

I've been watching your videos for the past two days like crazy. Great content sir!

[@Texturelabs]

Awesome, thank you!

[@uzgunumdostlar]

you are just amazing, i've been working with photoshop for the last three years and i never knew i could do the stuff you do in most of your videos, its like i've been using an another design software all these years

[@mephist00]

As someone who uses photoshop for a few months now, this blows my mind. I am doing T-shirt designs and these tips are incredibly helpful and solve problems I had with masks for a "long" time. Thank you!

[@agis7172]

Amazing tutorial, the level of control you have it's unbelievable, love it

[@Texturelabs]

Thanks for the kind words... Glad you enjoyed!

[@Adhithya2003]

"Journey is the destination" . Wow I love that.

[@nonamecoverband7455]

Really impressive... Thank you for sharing your amazing techniques! :)

[@miqdamsajid875]

Love it...Total control over what you want to acheive

[@RyanJohnson]

I love this channel, but I wish you would do a series on mixing and matching textures.

[@xilipiz]

damn you are changing my photoshop skills to ANOTHER level. thanks.

[@Texturelabs]

So glad to hear that!

[@elissitdesign]

I remember this distressed was really popular in PS around 2006. There was a really cool plugin that basically did what we were doing here but it was destructive. Folder nesting is the jam!

[@mridulsagar4106]

Amazing tutorial, thanks a lot!

[@borisfarkas8149]

You deserve more subscribers! By far the best PS channel out there. Keep it coming!🙏

[@MichaelProstka]

Superb! Really nice nondestructive texture setup, going to do this when I get home today!

[@GulagsGoulash]

This man is national treasure.

[@nateoski3635]

Hey Brady, I like how you build on each tutorial. Let me explain. The first few videos/ tutorials, at the bottom of the list, give us the viewers a behind the scenes base to start with. As you know there is really no one specific jumping off point. Regardless, you get us to to jump into the deep end while making the content accessible for those with at least some understanding of Photoshop. This particular tutorial definitely opens up a whole new tool box of opportunities and possibilities. You have created your own multi universe. I am looking forward to implementing these new techniques into my work flow, designs, and projects. Thank-you Side note happy to be the 69th reply. bit of in yin and yang going on.

[@drXavier87]

Found it really interesting too. Liked all your tutorials and really liked your level of expertise and way of explaining.. Hats Off!

[@Texturelabs]

Awesome, thank you!

[@bearivermedia]

Thank you very much, very helpful, this was a clinic, comprehensive teaching to think global

[@JacksonCarson]

Damn. I've been a near-daily photoshop user since v.1 and this approach to masking never occurred to me. Thanks for the share!!

[@Photodeus]

And now is a good moment to further learn about smart objects and duplicates so all the text with drop shadows can be edited in one go.

[@Texturelabs]

Sure, could be a good spot for em... for a single live text duplicate, I prefer to keep it local to avoid that whole back and forth thing. but... for sure!

[@KhayalOfficial]

Aesome and in depth content i hv ever seen

[@jessicacho1836]

thank you for the awesome video! Just a note for myself: how to invert an image? Image > Adjustment > Invert or Ctrl + I (Windows)

[@uniquerrz]

This is immensely helpful to me and so are your other videos! Thank youuu!!

[@lucadimarco5361]

MIND BLOWING.

[@Antuan2911]

Amazing technics! Thank you! This channel is very undervalued~!

[@mdubebamiya6874]

Arigatou Sensei... This has been one of the Doppest lessons ever ;)

[@IvanPhillipsen]

This is awesome! Just what I needed. Can't wait to try it out. Gracias!

[@nicorossenaar9952]

Thank you, great tutorial. Love this kinda stuff

[@Texturelabs]

Glad to hear that, thank you

[@워보이-o4q]

Thank you!

[@eddyjuillerat835]

Great stuff.

[@vitalykrass4139]

Wow! It's really cool!

[@jeffreynimpadu]

Love working with textures. You deserve way more subs!! :)

[@Texturelabs]

Right on, thanks! Working on another straight up grunge textures tutorial at some point here

[@CatalinGulan]

Very useful and interesting lesson Brady! Thank you very much for sharing it! Great Channel ! 🧡

[@Steve_Ince]

This is brilliant! Thank you.

[@La_bossaaa]

Great work ! Vert easy to understand ! Thank you !

[@Texturelabs]

[@followthetrawler]

So cool - learned a lot here. Liked and subscribed!

[@yourrecommend525]

Great explanation hats off

[@SouthbayCreations]

🤯🤯 just awesome!!

[@marcdevinci893]

So useful! Thank you so much!

[@xlista1543]

That is top level!

[@FunnyWisdomShorts]

Awesome

[@mira-graphics]

You are great sir.

[@glacies1356]

Thank you again for your very informative content. I prefer to work with smart objects to keep everything non destructive and at unkompressed size. There are a lot of ways aroud traditional masks. Interesting workflow though!

[@redsummerstorm3166]

Great technique..

[@emy8482]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@Texturelabs]

My pleasure!

[@marpandz8483]

This is so good

[@ahmetcorek4097]

thank you sir!

[@merchseller]

Interesting, though I find it just as easy to use a Distressed Brush or Grunge Brush and lightly go over the type with it to get the look I want.

[@matias1234567810]

Amazing!

[@TPToE]

Another great video - I'm steadily working my way through your back-catalogue! Have you ever tried using knockout layers as a mask alternative? I started doing so recently and have found them to be hugely useful.

[@Texturelabs]

Interesting, I'll give the knockout layers another shot. I messed around with those a while back... knew they'd be useful for something but couldn't quite figure out what!

[@TPToE]

@@Texturelabs Generally people seem to use knockout layers for text effects etc. but the real beauty of them as far as I'm concerned is as an alternative to masks. Put whatever you want masking in a group and add a new layer above in the same folder, setting the fill opacity to 0% and the knockout to shallow in the layer style blending options. You can then repeat the process ad infinitum, creating as many knockout mask layers as you like (all of which can, of course, have actual masks applied in turn) and no clipping is required. You probably know all this already, but I'm so very grateful for your inspired tutorials that I thought I'd share this just in case it proved useful!

[@yuribolognini]

@@Texturelabs I use them all the time at work along with smart vector layers embedded, this way I can make a design where the logo can be knowck out of a layer but still be easy so resize and move around, the only alternative I know would be using masks but masks can't be smart (you cant blur a mask without being destructive, and this way you can have editable text also being knocked off the shape).... I import all text from illustrator in smart layer.. then I dont need to convert to outlines and can keep editable text, then I can apply fx and filters to it and use the final result to cut/knockout layers and keep everything live and non destructive. Thanks for all your videos, You are a true master!

[@JesperHellvik]

Quality stuff!

[@googleboughtmee]

The method for colouring is a pain - any soft/anti-aliased edges still show the white layer underneath, e.g. there's a bit of an outline around the edges of that blue drop shadow. You can manually paint areas of colour but that's only easy if things aren't overlapping or touching each other.

[@cgarland630]

🔥🔥🔥

[@EduardoPerez-bg6kd]

Hi, How did you apply clipping mask to the layer with dark shadow option? I cant apply it wth the keyboard and menu doesnt appear the option.

[@tubelator]

Epic

[@tarafountain3989]

I did what you said but when I click the layer mask and paste the texture it doesn't paste in the mask. It's paste as a new layer. What am I doing wrong?

[@ataque555]

Hola muy buen video, la sombra azul al querer conectarla con las demas, no se aplican las texturas, solo desaparece

[@altaieuseawalker3357]

As soon i touch the "This Layer Sliders" in the Blending Options at 03:52 the Text turns to it's set text color and the texture inside the text disappears. Solved: Just found out the cause of this. It seems the blending option preview is not working correctly. After applying the values the results are like shown in the video.

[@mickwong6325]

i have a texture but i only want it effecting my text. nothing outside it. but not allowing me to do so

[@jianyin3739]

Is the opacity on the “masks” group always set at 100% ?

[@jianyin3739]

I found a discrepancy about the white clipping mask, which will make the fonts totally white ! No texture anymore. Why ?

[@dominicfrain1265]

❤

[@mannyluna7733]

im lost in the invert thing

[@Castro.doom96]

It won’t let me paste in my grudge texture

[@Castro.doom96]

In my mask?

[@alexeynovozhylov2120]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gregwoolliscroft6255]

.you lost me at 2:42 when you just say copy the layer and plsce it in the group and same at 6;15........ I figured it out in the end mysel and the result was good, but please don;t understand that we are all advanced....thats the idea of a tutorial, we don;t know how to do it,....
