Written by Steve Patterson. In this Photoshop text effects tutorial, we're going to create some knock out text. By that, I mean we're going to look at how to use one of Photoshop's more interesting shape options to knock out sections of letters that overlap each other! Of course, you can't use shape options unless you're working with shapes, so along the way, we'll see how to convert text to a shape, which opens up a lot more possibilities for us when it comes to creating cool text effects. Here's an example of the result we're going for. Step 1: Create A New Blank Document First, create a new Photoshop document, either by going up to the File menu at the top of the screen and choosing New or by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+N (Win) / Command+N (Mac). Either way brings up Photoshop's New Document dialog box. Enter the dimensions you need for your document. For this tutorial, if you want to follow along, I'll enter 4 inches for my Width, 2 inches for my Height, and a Resolution value of 300 pixels/inch. I'll also set my Background Contents to White which will fill the background of my new document with white. When you're done, click OK in the top right corner of the dialog box to exit out of it. Your new document will appear on your screen. Select the Type Tool. Step 3: Select A Font With the Type Tool selected, the Options Bar at the top of the screen changes to show options specifically for the Type Tool. Over on the left of the Options Bar is where we can choose a font. Select the font you want to use for your effect. Katrina kaif. Katrina Kaif and Imran Khan in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011) Katrina Kaif. Luv and Kush, are the names of the brothers of Hindi film actress Sonakshi Sinha. May 3, 2016 - Here's a Photoshop tutorial for quick background replacement. Aug 7, 2018 - This article shows how to remove a background in Photoshop, starting with the magic wand tool for removing simple backgrounds, and the. Your choice of fonts will depend on which fonts you currently have installed on your computer. This effect works best with fonts that have big, thick letters, so I'm going to choose Cooper Std. Don't worry about the size of the font for now. Go to Edit > Free Transform. You'll see the Free Transform box and handles appear around your text in the document. To resize the text, hold down your Shift key, which will constrain the aspect ratio of the text as you resize it, then click on any of the corner handles (the little squares) and drag the handle inward or outward depending on whether you need to make the text larger or smaller. Create a knockout in Photoshop - Adobe Help Center. Helpx.adobe.com To reveal the background, position the layer that will create the knockout above the layers that will be punched through, and make sure the bottom layer in the image is a Background layer. (Choose Layer > New > Background From Layer to convert a regular layer into a Background layer.). Knockout is the leading masking program that Corel Corp. Acquired from a cinema bluescreen company, Ultimatte. KO enables you to remove an object from the background in a similar fashion to the extract tool in Photoshop. To move the text, click anywhere inside the Free Transform box and drag the text to a new location. I'm going to make my text a little bigger by dragging the handle in the bottom right corner outward. Resize and move the text if needed with Free Transform. Photoshop Knockout TutorialPress Enter (Win) / Return (Mac) when you're done to accept the transformation and exit out of the Free Transform command. Step 7: Convert The Text To A Shape Make sure you have everything spelled correctly because at this point, we need to convert our text into a shape. Once it's converted to a shape, the text will no longer be editable, so double check to make sure you haven't made any mistakes. To convert the text to a shape, go up to the Layer menu at the top of the screen, choose Type, and then choose Convert to Shape. All of the letters (shapes) are now selected. If you want to learn more about working with paths and anchor points in Photoshop, I cover them in detail in our popular tutorial which you'll find in the section of the website. Photoshop Knockout Background WallpaperStep 10: Select The 'Exclude Overlapping Shape Areas' Option With all of our letter shapes now selected, go up to the Options Bar at the top of the screen. On the left, you'll see a series of four icons, each one showing a different combination of squares. These icons represent different options for how our shapes can interact with each other. The one we want for this effect is the one on the far right - the Exclude overlapping shape areas option. Click on the icon to select it. If you have Tool Tips enabled in Photoshop's Preferences, you'll see the name of the option appear when you hover over the icon. Select the 'Exclude overlapping shape areas' option in the Options Bar. Step 11: Deselect The Letters In a moment, we're going to drag the individual letters over top of each other so that the shapes will overlap. The option we just selected in the Options Bar will cause the overlapping areas to disappear. Before we can do that though, we first need to deselect the letters, otherwise if we try to drag any one of them, we'll end up dragging all of them at the same time. To deselect the letters, simply click on any blank area in the document. You'll see all the anchor points disappear from around the letters, telling us that the shapes are no longer selected. You may still see an outline around the letters, but don't worry about it for now. We'll remove it when we're done. The area that overlaps between the two letter shapes disappears. Continue dragging each letter towards the left until part of it overlaps the previous letter. For added variety, try rotating some of the letters with the Free Transform command. Simply click on the letter with the Path Selection Tool to select, then press Ctrl+T (Win) / Command+T (Mac) to quickly bring up the Free Transform box and handles around the letter. Move your cursor anywhere outside of the Free Transform box, then click and drag to rotate the letter. Here, I'm rotating the letter T towards the left. All of the letters in the word are now overlapping each other. Step 13: Deselect The Vector Mask To Remove The Outline From Around The Text The outline that's appearing around the text is making things look rather harsh, so let's get rid of it and clean things up. The reason the outline is visible is because we currently have the vector mask selected on the shape layer. If we look at the shape layer in the Layers palette, we can see that it contains a couple of thumbnails. The thumbnail on the right is the vector mask thumbnail, which, as you can see by looking at it, contains the shapes of our letters. If you look closely, you'll see a white highlight border around the thumbnail. This means that we currently have the vector mask selected. Click directly on the thumbnail to deselect it.

Luv2Shop8402, UPDATE. •The gray line is fixed with the new upgrade but now it is resizing my photos no matter what size I choose it makes them all larger than I need or can use.

Supergamingstar!, What I needed Usually I have to get on a computer to do my editing, but my family hardly gets off the computer. So I downloaded a bunch of apps like mobile pixlr, edits, and etc (none of them worked) But one day, I was reading a webtoon when I read that photoshop would be a great keyword. Then I scrolled down a bit, found some bad reviews about this app, and tried it out. I think the reason why people are giving this bad reviews is because they're too impatient to wait and go through the details. It's a great app, and it's just what I needed!
