How would I create this text effect in photoshop?

Ekim · 18 Dec 2007 at 21:09

I'm working on editing this image as part of a christmas gift for my mum. I want to change the one to a three, I have edited out the one eaisly enough using the clone tool, but now I want to edit in the word Three and have the text look like it belongs there.

click for large version

What would I need to do to create this effect?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like the font Folio Extra Bold, which I believe you have to pay to download. Your best bet might be to go here and enter the text you want and just copy the text off the generated image.

Its not the font I'm after I want to know if there is a waywith photoshop I could make any text I put on the ticket appear as though it had actually been printed on. You can see in the image that the text isn't quite solid and at points the pink of the ticket come through the type.

Once you've put the text down, convert the text so it can be photo edited. Then use a mask and an appropriate brush to bring bits of the pink through.

Had a crack at it, click for a larger view.

Doesn't look too bad, thoughts?

Not bad. Maybe try and soften the edges a bit though.

id have cloned out 'ADMIT' as well and then replaced it all with a suitable font. then you wouldnt need to match it together

That's what I would do... makes sense.

Well, I dont know how clear my solution was..

but i basically used the text already there, my R is actually the D.. my, T H and EEs are both made up of the I mixed about..

a fairly simple solution really and means the text is ideally suited..

Actually just had another thought of how I can do this.

I am going to create selections from the Three text. Then using the clone tool cool from parts of admit to get the correct texture.

Once that's done soften the edges to look like the ink has bled slightly. That make sense?

massively over-complicating it

Because im a massive spud and cloned that out, forgot, and then started writing THREE with the I..

Ekim seems to be having fun using every tool possible though..
