Text Manipulation

Today we are going to experiment with Text and Text Manipulations – no Drawing for today.

So start as usual by creating a new layer and a document.



Then on a separate layer create a line – and past some text there.



Now let's apply come layer styles + it is better to Fill the background layer with something, I choose the brush) – I will use my custom brush – you can use gradient or simple color fill - anything you want.



And here we have it you can also apply some filters on it.
I used Twirl filter.



But this is not actually good – it is not the theme of our lesson but it is very important for you to know and to feel the color so what I did.

I made a gradient layer (black to white).



And make a copy of it.



The layer location and settings – note – you will find many interesting colors if you play with Fill/Opacity.
