I started using Photoshop in 1988 as an art director. In those days, we attended seminars in person to learn from the actual developers. I used mostly it for color corrections and retouching-just the occasional textural special effect. Now that I am retired, there are no boundaries! I am discovering the joys of using Photoshop creatively as an artist. I have gained an immense amount of knowledge from your videos as I explore the possibilities. Thank you so much!!

[@tubaraza6884]

Very good sir. 😊😊

Aside from your amazing technical skills and teaching chops (college instructor here), the amount of good old-school observation and attention to detail in your tutorials is mind-blowing and for a fellow geek incredibly satisfying.

[@SoftwareManiacLSM]

I am sooooo impressed with your explanations. You not only walk through the steps, you also (1) provide source information for the sample test and (2) explain the "Why" behind every step. Thank you and I will definitely sign up for more of your tutorials and Patreon. Really, Brady, this is superb how-to instruction.

L.O.V.E. this tutorial. Thank you SO much! I've wanted to do this with textures for years, but could not never make it look real. Sure would like to create an action out of this. Thank you for creating such an easy-to-understand training for the rest of us.

[@kelvinhuggins]

Gracias desde Caracas - Venezuela 🇻🇪👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@chiragrathod5675]

The link in the description is "Paper-145" but the one used in the tutorial is "Paper-129" Big fan

One video for embossed business card mockup from scratch to end

[@madhusoodanshimoga5725]

Simply amazing and unique technique!!! thanks for the tutorial. Just one question, what if I want to change the colour of the texture for a different effect and use it elsewhere. How to achieve that? Please let me know.

[@paolag8813]

love it!

[@zol-artandcreative]

very good, thank you so much

[@Texturelabs]

Cool, you're very welcome!

[@MCMcThriller]

I love this video! I go to this for my embossed designs, but I'm curious how I change the color of the paper maintaining the embossed effect?

[@amourtaly9841]

Thank you so much

[@harryrajaharish]

Hi, it very good, sir can you make a reverse embossed video (how it will look from the backside, if we apply embossed in front)

[@Texturelabs]

Great idea, I always meant to do that! Will put it on the list...

[@jaimee.campuzanot.2702]

Thank you very much

[@zashoori4444]

Wonderful

[@Voltage343]

I want to use embossing and do the gold foil look on wine labels

[@raysville7256]

Xcellent!

[@mohummadmustafa6946]

NICE BRO

[@bonumonu5534]

How does one even get to this level of photoshop proficiency...

[@kelsenarchioli9843]

Wonderful, congratulations! How about do you do a tutorial like that, but with a transparent glass effect instead?

[@Texturelabs]

Thinking about a glass effect for sure!

[@KellySWard]

Fabulous! I make a lot of custom "frames" and this is so prefect, I think I need to make an action to recreate it! But what was the point of the first Levels adjustment layer? I missed you using it somehow.... By the way, where are you getting all those custom shapes? Mine is Leaf Trees, Wild Animals, Flowers, and Boats. That's it. The gear menu just offers me different thumbnail sizes and export/import shapes. Are they available at Adobe somewhere? Thanks again for this, it's exactly what I needed!

[@benyafezstudio]

Thanks🙏

[@kjaaaayb6]

Hey, just want to start by saying absolutely love your tutorials, super helpful. I wanted to know...with this font and effect, is there a way to finish it with a transparent background so it can be printed on clothing ? is there a step in this process where that can be done ? no worries if not, thanks anyway

[@SonSantana]

I can see it carved and popping out at the same time and it makes my brain confused as H

[@karayuschij]

Goooooood!!

[@fcultcher2606]

Great tutorial, a new sub, I've been binge watching your videos. I have a question is there a way to change the entire emboss color say to a green, blue, orange, yellow. It would be helpful. Thanks

[@jmg9509]

Probably use a color overlay and adjust the opacity to

[@johnsmith1474]

I am interest to understand the functional differences/preferences between quick and effective scaling text to fit, vs pumping in (trial & error) the exact font size, spacing, kerning etc. to get the same result. I notice if I scale, the numbers in the character panel do not change, thus I have no metrics for the text object. What am I missing?

[@everydayispain6121]

thats sick, now how do i make it black and glossy

[@katelynmurdoch7827]

Is there any way I can apply a texture like gold foil to the text and other embossed graphics? I want fancy looking business cards

[@Twizq]

Legend

[@melb5996]

Or save as a custom Layer Style.

[@francoabductor6301]

Hi, how can I use the folder in other projects so I the can have the same settings? Do I just copy it and paste it into the new project? Thanks.

[@denadendy5594]

How can you save for web and retain the effects? My bevel completely disappears when saving to jpeg.

[@madhousepictures]

hi, how do you change the color of the font once you've completed these steps?

[@armandinanayakkara]

thanks

[@Texturelabs]

Absolutely!

[@BiggBossBW]

@Texturelabs, how do I get the pass through blending option?

[@Tyler-216]

could you mimic a "satin stitch" used in embroidery, most commonly team logo monogram-style baseball hats?

[@Texturelabs]

Cool I'll push around some ideas!

[@simonbolzdotcom]

Thumbs up

[@user-nr6vi2gj4t]

...and "Create" =)

[@ineedscreentime8814]

wheres the link of the picture?

[@Texturelabs]

The paper texture should be on the tutorial page linked in the description, toward the bottom of the page

[@MarkoKozlica]

Everything is fine until the levels adjustment layers, than it does not seem to act as in your example :(

[@Texturelabs]

Ya... I gotta say that probably wasn't the most straightforward way to create that lightning variation! You can probably get a pretty similar effect with a gradient layer over the top set to soft light, something like that. Although if you can get the levels adjustment balanced, it does make a nice way to introduce that blue-ish color...

[@johnsmith1474]

The download texture is paper 145L not 129. Lacks the interesting tooth.

Lemon Milk is my baby.

Do you have the chunky yellow variety?
