Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 755 Enhancing a special word, such as “Haunted”, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Instructor] In this movie,…we're still inside Photoshop at which point I'll show you…at least one way to enhance a special word,…namely the word haunted.…I'll go ahead and switch over to my composition in progress.…You may recall that I converted all of the text…to shape layers and so the easiest way…to duplicate the word haunted onto its own layer is…to select the ghoulish layer here inside the layers panel…and then go ahead and select the black arrow tool,…which Photoshop calls the path selection tool,…and then partially marquee the letters in the word haunted.…
I recommend you just partially marquee them…so that you avoid selecting the E in the word be.…Now, we want to jump a copy of that word to its own layer…and you can do that just by pressing Ctrl + J…here on a PC or Cmd + J on the Mac.…Now, click off the text to deselect it…and you can see if I turn off that ghoulish layer,…that I have now duplicated the word haunted…to its own layer.…I'll just go ahead and call this layer haunted,…so I can keep track of it.…
