Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 577 Quick-and-dirty chalk type in Photoshop, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Short story short,…this week I'm going to show you a quick and dirty way…to take this boring text right here…and turn it into a custom chalk effect…inside Adobe Photoshop, and it's really easy, too.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…Alright, here's the final chalk type,…just so you have a chance to see it on-screen.…We're going to be starting off inside this document…which contains a couple of text layers…set to Myriad Pro Regular.…
And so, as you might imagine,…the first step is to find a better font.…And for my part I turned to the Adobe Type library…which includes these casual script fonts,…the ones that you're seeing on-screen.…And the one I decided to go with…is this Adobe original, Flood Standard,…but of course you can try out any font you like.…And there's tons of handwriting fonts out there.…You may even have a few installed on your machine.…Alright, so I'll go ahead and switch back to Photoshop,…and then I'll select both of these type layers…
