Mikelle Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 In an LO I just posted last night, I used a pre-lifted paper strip that came with its own shadow (VRA_Batik_Emb_PaperStrip1). I made a text layer on top of the paper strip, but it doesn't look real because the text is straight, not curved and lifted like the paper. How do I manipulate text layers to look like they are actually printed and warped or lifted in the same way as the paper? So you can see what I mean, my LO is: A Snow Day for Cats Sorry, forgot to mention I use Photoshop CS6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I use CS5, so I don't know if it is the same in your program, but when using the text tool, there is a warp text option next to the color, justification and font size box (in a tool bar across the top). There maybe something in there to warp your text just a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Jennifer has this SS Action - Natural Text -- that might do what you want. I couldn't use it because I work in PSE, but I think you probably can! I think it makes your text look like it's on the actual paper. So if it's wrinkled, creased, etc your text will look like that and that it's laying right on the paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Mikelle, the action that Marilyn suggests would be a good one for you to have in your stash. You can rasterize your text and then manipulate it more easily. But I would do a copy - hide the copy and rasterize the original just in case you do not like the results. I do a lot of copying and hiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I've been duplicating layers and then hiding them a lot more lately... it's a great tip and saves much back-tracking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will help with my text in a lot of situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
