Photoshop Tutorial - Matrix Text Effect (Part 1)

(Part 1 of 2)This tutorial created inside of Photoshop CS2 demonstrates two popular methods of creating a matrix style backdrop and adding larger text to the foreground. The first method involves the use of a text editor and layer masks, while the second only uses filters and colour adjustments - and is therefore probably better suited to Photoshop Elements users. Unfortunately, the image showing the backdrop of code hasn't come out too good in the video tutorial, but I can assure you - it is there!

Hey there,

You could try selecting all the text with the type tool and then changing the swatch in the options bar at the top of the screen. That swatch controls the colour of the active text.

Hope that helps
