After doing this select the marquee tool and then select refine edge.
This window will appear, have the on black option selected.

Kaboom Text!
Tweening in Photo shop.
With the text tool
Write out text you wish to tween
Now if you haven't already done so go to windows, select animation this will bring up a box at the bottom of your screen.
In this bar there will be an icon that looks like the add a layer button select this and it will copy your text making it the next part in the sequence.
On the first clip hold shift and move the text off the page now select the Tweening icon this is the icon at the bottom of the frames with dots going in a diagonal line a pop up window will come up in this it will ask you how many frames you wish your tween to be. The default is five this is what I have selected, depending on how many frames there are depend on how smoothly it will tween into place.
Now at the bottom of the screen there should be five frames with the text tweening into place you can test how well this works by playing your animation.
To make the file into a video you will need to -
[file]

You will need to export it in a AVI or Quick time format.
Making pattern images.
Original Image.
My Final Image
Set one -
Using the crop tool, crop the image to get an area with a good texture.
Step two -
Go to the image tab on the top bar of photoshop,
adjustments then to
Hue/saturation
change the colour of the image by adjusting the hue bar for example [blue].
Step 3 -
select the text tool and chose and character type face that script for example [scriptC]
Type a character for example the letter [F]
Make the text large filling the page for example character size [230]
Then change the character [F] by turning on the transformation tool [tick the box] then change the location of it for example [tilting it to the side]
After doing this turn down the layer opacity to around [60%]
When finished protecting and adjusting and happy with you image select both layers right click merge layers.
Step four.
In Photoshop open new file size A4 this can be done in the drop down bar under the pre-set international paper size [A4]
I chose to rotate my file by clicking on the image drop down tab,
image rotation,
[90oCW]
After doing this go back to your made image, select all, copy and past it into the newly made file.
adjust the size of the image depending on the amount of pattern you want or how little.
rotate and flip the images to create a patten then repeat it to crate the pattern.
End result.
Pattern text.
Quick and simple way to make a anaglyph 3D image.
This image bellow was the original image I used.
Step one-
Open the file you wish to edit.
Convert the "Background" to a layer.
Right click on the layer and duplicate it.
Step two-
On the top layer go to the drop down bar at the top of the screen to
[image]
[adjustments]
[levels]
[channels]
[Green]
Then on the output levels turn it down so that there is no Green
Do The same for channel; Blue.
Your image should then become completely Red.
Your image should then become completely Red.
Like this -
Step three.
On the layer bellow do the same drop down bars at the top of the screen
[image]
[adjustments]
[levels]
[channels]
Or use the short cut [ctrl + L] to save time. This is important when working to a dead line.
This time you want to edit the channel; red [alt + 3]
Turn down the out put level so there is no red in the image.
when you turn off the visibility of the top layer using the eye icon the image should look something like the -
Step four.
Make sure you have the top layer selected and both layers have they're visibility turned on.
On the drop down bar of layer options change the setting to screen. this should make you image look like your original -
Step five.
With the top layer selected still
Using the move tool, on your key bored tap the right arrow key about 10 times.
Your image should look distorted and have green and red outlines in places
like this -
Images is now Anaglyph 3D.
There is also an alternative way of making a 3D image, that i find slightly longer using channels -
Step one-
Open image into photo shop.
Change your image from a background to a layer
After this duplicate layer like before.
This time go to
[image]
[adjustments]
[curves]
Step two-
Then from here edit the red channel there will be a black vertical line on a chart
from here click on it, this will create a dot.
now we can change in input & output, change the output to [0]
Then change the input to [251]
Select [ok]
Step three-
On the second layer repeat this process
[Image] [Adjustments] [Curves]
This time change the Blue and Green channel.
Output [0]
Input [251]
Step four-
Make sure you have the top layer selected
On the drop down bar of layer blends
Change the setting to screen
This should make you image look like your original
Step five-
Have the move tool selected
On your key bored tap the right or left arrow key about 10 times
Your image is now 3D
Both of these ways of making a 3D image are effective it just depends on what way you find easier most.
Using this proses i added more images to my original image.
Adding more 3D images will gives depth of field.
