Lisa Anne Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hello. So i wouldnt normally try this but we have to keep our clients happy right? Maternity client wants some text added to her belly. I cant get it to look right. Ive been watching tutorials about adding tattoos in ps etc. Do you have any tips for me? I have added one of my pics and the example she has given me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 What text would she like? And does she want it hand-written? Can you show me what you've tried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Anne Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 She wants "it all started with a kiss" Not fussed about the lips though. And yes to look like its hand written. Not much difference between these two. It still just looks like copy and paste to me. I followed a video about displacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yeah, displacement was my initial thought, but I don't think it'll be necessary, to be honest. Can you give me the writing image by itself, so I can play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 What about if we tried to curve it over the top of the tummy, like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Anne Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yep! That looks really great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Ok, great! I used the Warp Tool, and of course this method. If you can give me a minute, I'll upload the PSD for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Download the PSD I strongly recommend you do what I did - that is, rotate the writing file so it's nice and straight, then crop it in a bit, then save it, before using it. You MUST NOT COPY AND PASTE the writing file onto the photo. You MUST use File>Place, so that it comes in as a smart object. This is vital. As a smart object, you can rotate and warp the layer as often as you like, without losing the previous adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Anne Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Not too bad i hope lol. Ive never really used warp tool before so it took me a while. Does this look ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
