Hello everyone,
I am a beginner in photoshop but I do understand the basics. I am trying to follow this tutorial but its written badly for a beginner, So I request you to kindly rephrase it or explain the each step very clearly.

Paint Effect | Special Effects

Thank you

What is it that you don´t understand? It will be easier to help you if you say which parts you want explained.

Hello Vafann .. I am lost in STEP 5 and STEP 6

Ok, do you mean that you don´t know how to drag the splatter layer under the layer you created? They have written it strangely, the wording is confusing.

This "drag the splatter layer under the layer you just created by pressing Ctrl and V.." sounds like you are supposed to drag the layer by pressing Ctrl and V.

They just mean that you are supposed to drag it under the layer you created by doing that.

To drag a layer under another one, you go to the layers palette, click on the layer you want to move, hold down the left mouse button and then just drag the layer up or down to where ever you want it.

Is this what you mean or is this even more confusing?

Hi again oops! I have just been trying to follow that tutorial for over an hour now, and I give up. I think they have left something out and I can´t figure out what it is, it doesn´t work as far as I can tell. You are right, it gets impossible starting at step #5 if you do exactly what it says. maybe someone else here can figure out what the problem is, or else I would suggest trying a better tutorial. Sorry I couldn´t help more, but I tried..

It's pretty simple:

1) Type the text you want.
2) Create a new layer then with the splatter you want to use selected as your brush then click where you want it.
3) Hold ctrl and click on the thumbnail of the text layer then with the splatter layer selected press crtl+J to duplicate the layer.
4) Move the text layer above the first splatter an under the one you just created so it's in the middle.
5) Right click > blending options, on the text layer, click drop shadow and use whatever settings you want (I used distance: 4, spread: 10, size: 7)

Hope that helps, let me know how you get on

Just an idea Did not even bother reading the tutorial but do your splatter brushes then your text layer on top copy 1 of your splat layers above the text right click it and select create clipping mask I also added a stroke to the text this is just using your psd
