distorted text effect?

[natenator]

Hi there,

New to these forums but not really new to photoshop, however, my abilities are more in photo manipulation than truly creative concepts. I come here searching for help in achieving the distorted text effect in the image I have attached. I am stumped at to how to achieve it.

Would anyone be so kind as to help an enthusiast out?

Thank you!

You could try reversing this...

Distorted Text Question

Or failing that use the Warp option with the Type tool selected and set to 'Arc Lower'.....give it a negative value and the bottom will curve upward.

The font used very much dictates the results of any text warping....Illustrator will give better results if you have it otherwise it may be just a case of experimenting with PS till it looks right.

Regards.

Hello and welcome to PSG.

Take a look at this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiX3e2RVQdE

This technique is a bit more limiting than using the transform warp, but the text layer does not need to be rastorized and it can be edited later.
