Quick photoshop help
 

Say I had a layer of text and a layer of smoke I created with smudge and liquify. I want to move the smoke on top of the text and delete all of it, but retain the smoke that sits on top of the text. Hows I do it?

short answer: turn text into a mask, alt+click the layer. Delete the smoke.

That worked. Thanks.

Anyone know how to do stuff like this?

It would be far easier to do that in 3d studio max and then put it into photoshop, than to make that in photoshop.

..

making fake money, huh?

make a circle, use the rotate tool, duplicate and repeat.

I've tried doing three layers and messing with the nudge and opacity, but I can't seem to replicate the 3D text here.

Search "stereographic text photoshop"

And "spirograph photoshop"

It helps when you know what to search for

I think that type of stuff is better done on illustrator, not photoshop

wordd 3ds kind of sucks though

Care to explain how 3DS "sucks"... :facepalm:

Yes. Thank you. I never what to search for.

Anybody know how to do something like this multiplier effect throughout this video?

Like this.

Looks like they duplicated the layer, shrunk it, and then masked the edges. But, considering it's happening "real time" in the video there's probably some effect out there to do it.

Masked the edges?
