 Hello everybody welcome back another photoshop tutorial in this one I'm going to show you how to apply text using perspective just like I've done here I've got slow down here and you can see here that it matches the road there are a few steps in this but it shouldn't take more than two minutes for me to go from front to back so let's get cracking all right so I'm going to delete this top layer here and basically we've got an image any image just open up if you want to follow along next step was we're going to go over here to the left side in our toolbar grab the type tool and I'm just going to type slow and then hit enter down so there we go we're working with this we've got something to work with so I'm going you can write anything you want but I'm going to show you how to do it using this text here so the next step is I'm going to go to the right side here and using making sure this layer is selected right click and convert this into a smart object the reason why we want to do that is because we can now start to move the corners and apply perspective let me show you how all right so holding down the command key on a mac the control key on a pc watch this I'm holding it down I'm going to go ahead and start to move these corners so look at what I'm doing here I'm going to move that corner and in this case we've kind of got a line here that sort of shows us where we want to be so I'm just going to pull these out so I'm going to pull this out something like that notice how the end runs kind of perpendicular to these lines here and look at this this is pretty much not quite perfect that looks about right something like that what are you guys thinking maybe this has to go over a little more down a little more we got to make it you can always just eyeball this now I'm going to note that you can use something called the vanishing point filter which is right here however this is the easier way to do it I find so let me just go ahead and kind of get this where I want it something like that doesn't have to be perfect I just want to show you the technique now I'm going to hit enter and commit it all right so I sort of fine-tuned it here and this looks pretty good the next step and this is an awesome one is we're actually going to go up here and we're going to change the blending mode now we just want to blend it in a little better so I'm going to go from normal blending mode I'm going to flip through some of them but the one that I kind of like for this is the lighten or the screen one I'm going to go with screen and again this looks a little bit brighter than you'd probably like but now I'm just going to go ahead and pull down the opacity a little bit and look at that we're starting to get some of the road showing through the text now there's one more step here let me show you and that's it all right so again making sure you're selected on the text this is an optional step but I like to do it I'm going to click on this little FX icon and then I'm going to go to blending options if you really want to dig in you can actually sort of pull these little levers here and make sure that you get it exactly the way you want it so I'm going to hold down the alt key or the option key on a pc uh the option key on a mac alt key on a pc and you'll see here that I can sort of just sort of pull these little levers here and let's see if I can get it right here there we go if we pull the bottom one a bit something like that you can start to see a little bit more poking through the letters there this again is optional this is just if you really want high fidelity this is going uh yeah something like that and again you guys can adjust this as you see fit but I kind of like that look let's see here what do you think yeah something like that I don't want to go too far over the top here something like that and then again I've just broken those handles there and I've just blended it in so there you go and of course feel free to adjust the opacity up or down as you see fit but there you go that's how you apply perspective and blending and blend modes all in a few seconds there using Photoshop thanks for watching
