Photoshop: “Wrap a texture or pattern around an Object 2”

I did another sample of  “Wrapping a texture or pattern around an Object”

Here are the steps/process in wrapping a texture or pattern around an object:

 

Step  1:  Open the first (for distortion and wrapping image)

Step  2:  Open the 2nd image (to be wrapped) remove the background. Copy this to the fist document.

Step  3:  Paste this to the first Document

 

Step  4:  You now have 2 Layers

Step  5:  Image – Adjustments – Desaturate

Step  6:  At this point: Duplicate the layers to avoid stepping backward later

Step  7: Image – Adjustments – Levels

Step  8:  Adjust to eliminate the Gray and increase saturation

Step  9:  Blur –Gausian Blur (set between 3 to 10)

Step  10:  Save this as the distortion map

Step  11:  Move and deactivate the adjusted & blurred layer/ activate the desaturated copy and move between the flag Layers

Step   12:  Filter – Distort – Displace

Step  13:  Load the Displacement map (the file saved earlier)

Step  15: Activate the target image (to be wrapped) Click Control + icon to load the image

Step  16:  Activate the distorted layer; Hold down the Vector Mask Icon

Step  17:  Change the blending mode to Overlay

Step  18:  Activate the Background layer

Step  19:  Save the Image if you are satisfied with the result

 

 

Have a nice day and God Bless!

Photoshop: “Wrap a texture or pattern around an Object”

Another lesson I have learned in Photoshop is “Wrap a texture or pattern around an Object”

The effect is almost the same as combining photo and text but this time it involves the Distort/Displace filter.

Here are the steps/process in wrapping a texture or pattern around an object:

 

 

Step  1:  Open the first (for distortion and wrapping image)

Photoshop: “Combine Photos and Text 2”

Here’s another sample for “Combining Photos and Text”.

Of course I have to do one of my favorite subject “Pope John Paul II”

Step  1:  Open an image or a photo in Photoshop /Duplicate the layer.

Step  2:  Hit “T” on the menu for Text / Type the text (In this illustration, I did 2 text layers)

2 Text Layers

Step 3:  Move the text to your desired position on the image or photo/ Apply a warp text if desired (I used a “curve lower warp” on the first text and “bulge warp” on the second).

Apply warp on text

Step 4:  Position the text layer between the 2 photo layers

Step 5:  Make the original Photo layer invisible. Activate the Text layer. Hold Alt key and the space/line between the upper photo layer and the text layer to join the 2 layers.

Join 2 layers

Step 6:  Apply effects on the text layer (fx) . Apply bevel & emboss (experiment how you want your text to look or appear. Hit ok

Apply fx (Bevel)

Apply fx (Emboss)

Step 7: Activate the original layer or background and Create a Layer mask 

Activate the Original Layer

Step 8:  Experiment with different effects. Do this on the Layer

Effects on the original layer

Step 9:  In this image, I decided to apply Color balance and Hue& Saturation Adjustments.

Step 10:  Save the image if you are satisfied with the result.

Have a nice day and God Bless!

Photoshop: “Combine Photos and Text”

Here is another Lesson I’ve learned in Photoshop. I’ll Call it “Combining Photos and Text”. This is not a tutorial. I would just like to document the steps by steps to do the “combining process” so I can always go back to it if I have forgotten the procedures.

If you think this may help you to do the same, especially the beginners – feel free to do so. I am happy to share this with you.

Step  1:  Open an image or a photo in Photoshop /Duplicate the layer.

Open image

Step  2:  Hit “T” on the menu for Text / Type the text

Step 3:  Move the text to your desired position on the image or photo/ Apply a warp text if desired (I used a “flag warp” on this text).

Apply warp (Flag) on the text

Step 4:  Position the text layer between the 2 photo layers

Step 5:  Make the original Photo layer invisible. Activate the Text layer. Hold Alt key and the space/line between the upper photo layer and the text layer to join the 2 layers.

Position the text layer between the 2 photo layers

Step 6:  Apply effects on the text layer (fx) . Apply bevel & emboss (experiment how you want your text to look or appear. Hit ok

Apply Bevel & Emboss

Apply Bevel & Emboss

Step 7: Activate the original layer or background and Create a Layer mask 

Step 8:  Experiment with different effects. Do this on the Layer Mask (In this illustration; layer mask was inefective because I decided to apply effects directly on the image).

Step 9:  In this image, I decided to apply Filter – Blur – Radial Blur (position the center on the desired spot of the text.)

Step 10:  Save the image if you are satisfied with the result.

Have a nice day and God Bless!
