May 25th, 2008 by ART-D Posted in Adobe Photoshop, Text Effects

Next we shall write the word STYLE, representing each letter on a separate layer.

Select the parameter Free Transform>Skew for each letter, changing also their shape the same way demonstrated next picture:

Merge down the layers containing the letters of the word STYLE. It’s necessary in this case to press Ctrl button, mark out the corresponding layers and then press CTRL+E. We need after that to represent a kind of train of the word STYLE. This time we shall hold on CTRL+Alt buttons while pressing several times the cursor button (on the keyboard).

Merge Down the multiplied layers, except the one from the top (the layers containing the STYLE word) in a single layer (press Ctrl button for accentuating the appropriate layers and then press CTRL+E). Set the next parameters for the last layer we’ve got. Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

Merge Down the last layer with the demonstrated above parameters. It’s necessary in this case to create a new layer above the one we work with (Create new layer) and press Ctrl button to mark out both of the layers and only after that press CTRL+E.

On this layer we shall use the Burn Tool (O) to put some shadows on the voluminous parts of the letters.

    I’m using this guide as a newbie to Photoshop and to be honest I’m a little lost. I’ve learnt a lot from it but feel like I’m in at the deep end here. I think I’ll try something easier first. Thanks for the great tutorial anyway. I’ll come back when I know a little more.

    I’m really lost on this I did almost everything you said I got stuck where it says:

    “Mark out the inside tops, applying the Convert Point Tool (holding on SHIFT button) and then press CTRL+T, while using Maintain aspect ratio for getting together the rays in a single point on the central part of the picture.” I need help please…!!!

    I’m not very well at photoshop either, and I also got stuck at the rays explanation, but I sorted a way to do what you show here. Not sure it’s what you meant, but it worked.
    select the Convert Point Tool (Direct Select Tool worked also), drag a box around all inside corners of the starburst. Hit ctrl+t or right click and select “free transform points” mark the “maintain aspect ratio” button at the top (the one that looks like a chain link), and hold Alt while dragging the selection box inwards (scale down) until the rays meet
    I know this post is very old, but maybe new visitors get stuck at this same point… (I did)

    What in the world is the Ctrl-Alt thing trying to say? I’ve never even heard of a cursor button for Pete’s Sake.
