How’d They Do That? No. 18: Weaving Words

Click to enlarge

This mini lesson walks you through the steps for weaving a string element through a title created with a dimensional alpha. The techniques discussed can be applied to weaving any elements on a page, not just an alpha.

You will learn how to:

• use full sheet png alpha (where many letters are on one png document)
• use shortcuts to resize and reposition layers simultaneously
• make letters appear woven with yarn

You will need:
Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
Adobe Acrobat

Difficulty:
While I do provide every step necessary to complete the techniques, it is helpful to have some experience with opening and closing files and a basic knowledge of the Photoshop or Photoshop Elements workspace.
