Creating a Text Effect with Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop 7 - Shiver Tutorial

by  Daniel Ledarney
Summary:Choose a file; make a color selection; use Text Type Tool to add text; fill with color, apply Radial Blur Filter several times.
General
You may use photoshop techniques to create a many varied text effects.  This is only one among many.  More latter...
1. Create a new file .
Create a new file (Ctrl+N) in RGB mode with a resolution of 72 dpi and a black background. The example is 350 x 150 (pixels). The fastest way to get a black background when setting up a new file is to switch the background colors on the tools palette by entering X on the keyboard or click on the switch arrow on the tools palette, then select background under contents when setting up the new file. Name and save the file. The new file now should have one layer, a black background.

2. Select a color for the Foreground. Choose a bright color green, blue, etc. color as your foreground and black is the background. For example: H:130 S:100 B:100;  H:246 S:100 B:100

3. Using Type Mask Tool.
Using Type Mask Tool add your text (choose any font or size you like but I find a bold font works the best.) Choose Edit>Fill>100% Forground Color, normal mode (the green), ok. Here Georgia, bold and 75 pt. was used.  It's a good idea to save the selection. Select>save selection.

4. Feather and applying the Radial Blur Filter.
Select>Feather (Ctrl+Alt+D) 2 pixels while the marquee select is still active (the marching ants as the lingo goes). Now apply Filter>Blur>Radial Blur (100, Zoom, Best) while the marching ants are still active. If you now deselect saved marching ants to view image.  Cool, but not quick what we are after. Repeat the previous Filter - (Ctrl+F) or Filter Radial Blur after reloading saved selection and while ants still active.

Use x-ray techniques in Photoshop to show naked skin through clothing

    Do those new naked body scanners have you freaked out at the airports? As far as the TSA is concerned, those x-ray machines are here to stay, but you might as well take comfort in knowing that airport security guards aren't the only ones looking at your private parts. Practically anyone with a computer can manage to see through your clothes, and it's all thanks to a little program called Photoshop. Thanks, Adobe. With a few tweaks using the tools in Photoshop, you can see those boobs in no time, male or female. The video is in German, but it's not hard to figure our what's going on, especially if you're familiar with Photoshop. First, create a few duplicate layers, then get a handle on some of these tools to make the naked body through the clothes: * Auswahl erstellen (Create Selection) * Tonwertspreizung (Input Levels) * Belichtung (Exposure) You can also do this see-through clothing effect in free design programs, such as  GIMP .
