It really helped me, it was the only one that had exactly what I searched THANKS :D

[UrbanElementsCrew]

Very nice thanks ;)

[QuickAndDirtyGraphix]

I have a seemingly random question. What Screen capture program do you use to make your tutorials? I like the way it zooms in and out without making you dizzy. I will be making a tutorial later and already use Debut but would like to know of other options, especially ones I know I already like. Nice tutorial btw, easy to follow.

[dimage1985]

@QuickAndDirtyGraphix glad you enjoyed them. I used CamStudio to record the full screen, then in Sony Vegas, I would add the zooming using smooth key frames. Hope that helps!

[EndlessVariety]

what did you use to film your screen?

[adityadb906]

VERY NICE TRY EXPERIMENTING WITH IT!

That really doesn't much look like wood, perhaps if you selected more of it before doing this... However I would have just used the wood as a layer on top of the text, or a mask if you will, then decrease the opaque to say 30 or so. And if you really wanted it to look like wood you should color the text a woodish color and then do it ;)

[Way2Spirited]

@illegal0immoral With all due respect, the intention of this exercise was to add texture and 'grungey' effects to text. It wasn't supposed to look like wooden letters, that is a different tutorial :o)

[illegal0immoral]

@Way2Spirited Well according to your video the intention was: "How to make text (or any object) have the texture of the background image"

I was simply giving you, and whoever else might read these comments, some pointers on easier ways to make it look a lot more like your background image.

[Way2Spirited]

@illegal0immoral I didn't make this video or any other image editing tutorial.

what song is this

[dimage1985]

Music: "Gartenn" by IJO, free download on lastfm. Check the video description for the link.

[xMalicious]

I really liked this tutorial. It was very easy, and friendly for newbies like myself. Moaar please :)

[barnz4lyf]

please make a vid on how to do that on photoshop...

[dimage1985]

It's basically the same in Photoshop - just use the Selection > Color Range tool. I did a non-video tutorial here: lukeroberts. deviantart. com/art/QuickTips -Textured-Text- 20778770 (take out the spaces) or just search google for "quicktips textured text" and it should be the first result.

[barnz4lyf]

thanks a bunch! :)

[SquareWheelProd]

do you have a link for that picture of the wood you used?

[dimage1985]

That is a good point - forgot to add the links to resources used. The wood image is called "Darker Wood" by Paulensane on deviantart. Available here: paulensane. deviantart. com/art/Darker-Wood-66066645
