 Hello everybody welcome back to another adobe photoshop cc 2021 tutorial and this one i'm going to show you how to make your text adding textures to text that's right guys it's very very simple and there's just a couple steps let me show you how to do it i'm going to delete this and i'm going to start off with a image if you're following along you just go file new create a any size image really just create one and presto we've got a new artboard now head over to the left side and click on your text tool and i'm just going to write some big giant text i'm going to write texture and presto there we go that's pretty big size and if you want to make it a little bigger for effect why not okay good so well maybe that's too big let's i want the whole thing to be in there so anyways the point is is you want to have some text now i'm just going to go ahead and stick it in the center ish area okay good now what i want to do and here's the real part part you came for was we want to apply texture to this so what you do is you select a texture now for me i've got a red brick wall selected so let's go ahead and i'm going to drag and drop that on top of the shot here and you're going to see here that this is just regular brick wall and that's the texture we're going for i'm going to hit okay just to make sure that it drops it on there it's going to drop it as a smart object now this looks kind of silly right now but here is the one critical part all you need to do is hold down the alt or the option key on your mac or your pc hover between these two lines right here this is going to create a clipping mask left click when you see that little arrow down in the rectangle or the square and that's it now your texture is clipped to the font or clipped to the text guys thanks for watching this tutorial time for stuff coming up stay tuned
