font on a wall

[DaveD]

Is there a trick to making a font appear realistic as possible on a wall using photoshop 7 (and not just look like it's typed on)
Something like a gradient map maybe to meld the letters into the wall below. Would that work?

Hey Dave, take a look at this.

Look at these: http://www.templatelite.com/graffiti-tutorials-photoshop-illustrator/

I was with him until he did the "convert to smart object" part
photoshop 7 can't do that

You can skip that step.....its handy to have but not needed to complete the tutorial.

If you think you'll need to edit your text later then just make a copy of it first....then turn it off or move it to the bottom of the stack behind the BG....out of harms way.

As the guy says, a smart object will allow you to edit the text later with less fuss....a copy is the next best thing...in PS7 anyway.

Just go with it skipping that bit......the end result should still be the same regardless.

Regards.
MrTom.
