Falon Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Damien how can i make this sign writing more realistic i need it on a angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I'd start by copying a chunk of the photo with the triangular sign on it, then with Grids to help me, distort it back to a fairly even shape. Then put the text on it: Then fiddle with the text colour so it's more plausible. Black ain't right, of course. Here, I used darkish grey, on Multiply mode: Then group those two layers, move them back into place, lower the opacity of the group, and distort it again so it fits neatly over the real triangle: Then turn off the spare triangle layer (or delete it entirely). Then rasterize the type layer, make it a smart object layer instead, and apply a little blur so it's plausible: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falon Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Damien when you say move them back into place what do you mean I'm stuck on this bit I've grouped them together and i think I've done it correctly so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falon Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 When I try to distort it the second time it’s only distorting the triangle back not the writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 No, you have to have the group selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falon Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 So i Have selected the group and i press control T then go to distort but i can't distort it? Am i doing this step wrong sorry I've never done this before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 In my version (CS5) Distort wasn't available to me in the Edit>Transform> menu. Yours might be the same, I don't know. But it didn't matter, I alternated between Skew, Rotate and Scale, and achieved the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falon Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Hows this? Thank you for your help. Is there anything else you would fix? Edited June 21, 2018 by Falon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Maybe increase the blur just a tiny bit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falon Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 I like the colour closer to the proceed with cake sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I reckon a Levels layer, and move the black sliders on the green and blue channels to 50 and 30 respectively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
