Hi, this is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
0:00:11.549,0:00:16.849
Quite a while ago, I did a tutorial
showing how to make a portrait out of text.
0:00:16.849,0:00:21.619
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to do
it quicker and better.
0:00:21.619,0:00:24.480
Including how to make it in color.
0:00:24.480,0:00:30.159
You can mix fonts and sizes and because
they're "live", they're fully editable.
0:00:30.159,0:00:32.620
Feel free to use any photo you'd like.
0:00:32.620,0:00:34.239
If you want to use this image,
0:00:34.239,0:00:38.460
its link is located in the video's
description or project files.
0:00:38.460,0:00:41.369
Its size is approximately, 1300
0:00:41.369,0:00:43.390
by 1900 pixels
0:00:43.390,0:00:47.170
with the resolution of 150 pixels per inch.
0:00:47.170,0:00:49.350
If you're using a color photo
0:00:49.350,0:00:53.099
desaturate it by pressing Ctrl + Shift + "u" on a PC
0:00:53.099,0:00:55.960
or Cmd + Shift + 'u" on a Mac.
0:00:55.960,0:00:58.190
To make the darkest tones, black
0:00:58.190,0:01:00.220
and the lightest tones, white...
0:01:00.220,0:01:03.300
press Ctrll or Cmd + Shift + "L".
0:01:03.300,0:01:06.790
We need to make a selection around the
head and shoulders.
0:01:06.790,0:01:10.659
For this example, I'll use the Pencil tool.
0:01:10.659,0:01:12.509
First, click on your quick mask button...
0:01:12.509,0:01:15.740
and make sure black is your foreground
color.
0:01:15.740,0:01:16.939
If it isn't,
0:01:16.939,0:01:20.960
click on this small black and white box
icon.
0:01:20.960,0:01:23.760
Open your pencil tool.
0:01:23.760,0:01:25.550
We'll make the Size...
0:01:25.550,0:01:30.000
5 pixels and the Hardness... 100%.
0:01:30.000,0:01:34.299
Draw around the head and shoulders. It
doesn't have to be perfect, especially
0:01:34.299,0:01:37.490
around the hair.
0:01:37.490,0:01:40.110
Open your paint bucket tool.
0:01:40.110,0:01:43.610
Click down inside the portrait to fill
it in.
0:01:43.610,0:01:46.890
Press "Q" to make the quickmask into
a selection.
0:01:46.890,0:01:47.829
Invert it...
0:01:47.829,0:01:52.040
by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + Shift + "i".

Go to Select and Save Selection.
0:01:56.280,0:01:57.850
Name it, "Highlights"...
0:01:57.850,0:02:01.920
and click, OK or press Enter or Return.
0:02:01.920,0:02:03.130
Delete the selection
0:02:03.130,0:02:07.240

0:02:07.240,0:02:12.659
Press Ctrl or Cmd + "j" to make a

0:02:12.659,0:02:13.980
Go to Filter...
0:02:13.980,0:02:16.019
and Filter Gallery.
0:02:16.019,0:02:18.119
Open the "Artistic" folder...
0:02:18.119,0:02:18.889
and click
0:02:18.889,0:02:20.299
"Cutout".
0:02:20.299,0:02:22.729
Make the number of Levels, 2...
0:02:22.729,0:02:25.429
the Edge Simplicity, 5...
0:02:25.429,0:02:27.680
and the Edge Fidelity, 1.
0:02:27.680,0:02:32.239
Then, click OK.
0:02:32.239,0:02:37.689
Go to Image...Adjustments...and Threshold.
0:02:37.689,0:02:41.889
The Threshold is 128.
0:02:41.889,0:02:43.019
Go to Select
0:02:43.019,0:02:45.819
and Color Range.
0:02:45.819,0:02:47.279
Select...
0:02:47.279,0:02:48.749
Shadows...
0:02:48.749,0:02:51.789
and click, OK.
0:02:51.789,0:02:54.309
We'll save the selection
0:02:54.309,0:02:57.010
and name it, "Shadows".
0:02:57.010,0:02:59.919
Then, delete the selection.
0:02:59.919,0:03:01.709
Click on the new layer button
0:03:01.709,0:03:03.299
to make a new layer.
0:03:03.299,0:03:07.159
We'll fill it with White...and since white is
our background color,
0:03:07.159,0:03:11.159
press Ctrl or Cmd + Delete.
0:03:11.159,0:03:14.129
Go to Window... and Character.
0:03:14.129,0:03:15.650
In the Character panel,
0:03:15.650,0:03:18.219
choose a font that has at least 2 weights.
0:03:18.219,0:03:20.419
I'm using, "Arial".
0:03:20.419,0:03:22.210
For the Highlights of the portrait,
0:03:22.210,0:03:24.569
I'll use, Arial Regular.
0:03:24.569,0:03:28.889
The Size is 8 points and the "Leading"
is 7 points.
0:03:28.889,0:03:32.899
"Leading" is the amount of space between
the lines of text.
0:03:32.899,0:03:35.609
Press the "All Caps" icon.
0:03:35.609,0:03:42.099
This makes the text all caps even if the
original text is upper and lower case.
0:03:42.099,0:03:44.939
Go to the top, left corner... click down...
0:03:44.939,0:03:48.809
and drag it of the bottom, right corner.
0:03:48.809,0:03:51.819
This "text box" or "bounding box"...
0:03:51.819,0:03:56.669
makes the text we place inside this area,
conform to the dimensions of the
0:03:56.669,0:03:57.979
box.
0:03:57.979,0:04:03.779
If you re-size the bounding box, Photoshop
adjusts the wrapped ends of the text to
0:04:03.779,0:04:06.459
account for the new size.
0:04:06.459,0:04:09.199
For this example, I'll fill it with
Lincoln's
0:04:09.199,0:04:11.299
"Gettysburg Address".
0:04:11.299,0:04:14.400
I already searched for it in my browser.
0:04:14.400,0:04:18.139
When you find the text block you'd like to
use in your portrait,
0:04:18.139,0:04:19.479
highlight it...
0:04:19.479,0:04:23.090
and press Ctrl or Cmd + "c" to copy it.
0:04:23.090,0:04:26.250
I'll minimize the browser's window...
0:04:26.250,0:04:29.970
click down inside the top, left corner of
the bounding box
0:04:29.970,0:04:32.419
and press Ctrl or Cmd + "v"...
0:04:32.419,0:04:35.410
to paste the text into it.
0:04:35.410,0:04:38.570
Click on the thumbnail of the text to
accept it.
0:04:38.570,0:04:41.939
Press, "z" to open your Zoom tool.
0:04:41.939,0:04:44.819
Zoom into your text...
0:04:44.819,0:04:47.229
and click on your Type tool.
0:04:47.229,0:04:52.220
Let's make the entire text block into
one unbroken paragraph.
0:04:52.220,0:04:55.199
I'll click to the left of the first
character...
0:04:55.199,0:05:00.159
and press the Backspace key to move it
to the left, so it's flush with the
0:05:00.159,0:05:01.629
bounding box.
0:05:01.629,0:05:05.530
I'll click to the left of the first
character of the second paragraph...
0:05:05.530,0:05:07.630
and press the Delete key...
0:05:07.630,0:05:12.050
until the text moves up to meet the
first paragraph.
0:05:12.050,0:05:17.019
Continue until we have one unbroken
paragraph.
0:05:17.019,0:05:18.150
Highlight it...
0:05:18.150,0:05:19.610
and copy it.
0:05:19.610,0:05:21.890
Press Ctrl or Cmd + Zero...
0:05:21.890,0:05:25.629
to see the entire document on your
screen.
0:05:25.629,0:05:30.739
Click to the right of the last character
and paste in the text.
0:05:30.739,0:05:34.889
Continue to paste the text in until
all of the bounding box is filled with the
0:05:34.889,0:05:36.349
text.
0:05:36.349,0:05:39.759
To get rid of the uneven lines of text
on the right,
0:05:39.759,0:05:42.230
go to the middle, right of the bounding
box...
0:05:42.230,0:05:45.230
and press and hold Ctrl on a PC
0:05:45.230,0:05:47.399
or Cmd on a Mac.
0:05:47.399,0:05:49.699
When you see this white pointer,
0:05:49.699,0:05:52.219
drag it to the right.
0:05:52.219,0:05:55.580
Then, click on the thumbnail of the text layer to
accept it.
0:05:55.580,0:05:57.490
Let's name it...
0:05:57.490,0:05:58.560
"Highlights"...
0:05:58.560,0:06:01.919
and then make a copy of it.
0:06:01.919,0:06:05.139
Click off the eyeball of the original
text to hide it...
0:06:05.139,0:06:06.790
and we'll name the copy...
0:06:06.790,0:06:08.740
"Shadows".
0:06:08.740,0:06:12.329
Double-click on the thumbnail to
highlight the text...
0:06:12.329,0:06:16.270
and change the font to the heaviest
weight.
0:06:16.270,0:06:18.889
Make the size, 12 points...
0:06:18.889,0:06:22.300
and the Leading, 9 points.
0:06:22.300,0:06:25.060
Click on the thumbnail to accept it.
0:06:25.060,0:06:28.189
Open your Channels panel...
0:06:28.189,0:06:29.550
and Ctrl-click...
0:06:29.550,0:06:33.869
or Cmd-click on the Shadows thumbnail
to make it into a selection.
0:06:33.869,0:06:35.930
Open back up to you Layers panel...
0:06:35.930,0:06:37.940
and click on the Layer mask button...
0:06:37.940,0:06:44.940
to make a layer mask next to the active
layer, which is the Shadows text.
0:06:45.380,0:06:48.020
Make the Highlights text layer, visible...
0:06:48.020,0:06:49.659
and active.
0:06:49.659,0:06:51.440
Go back to your Channels panel...
0:06:51.440,0:06:55.270
and Ctrl-click or Cmd-click on
the Highlights thumbnail...
0:06:55.270,0:06:57.370
to make it into a selection...
0:06:57.370,0:06:59.889
and then go to the Shadows thumbnail...
0:06:59.889,0:07:02.749
and press Ctrl+ Alt on a PC
0:07:02.749,0:07:05.089
or Cmd + Opt on a Mac...
0:07:05.089,0:07:08.520
to subtract the shape from the
Highlights shape...
0:07:08.520,0:07:12.589
leaving just the highlights of the
portrait.
0:07:12.589,0:07:14.699
Open back up your Layers panel...
0:07:14.699,0:07:18.830
and click on the layer mask button to
make a layer mask next to the highlights
0:07:18.830,0:07:21.699
text.
0:07:21.699,0:07:23.379
As I mentioned at the beginning,
0:07:23.379,0:07:25.860
the text is "live" and editable...
0:07:25.860,0:07:31.379
so for example, if we want to increase
the size of the text in the shadow areas,
0:07:31.379,0:07:34.729
double-click on the thumbnail of the
Shadows text to highlight all the
0:07:34.729,0:07:36.489
text
0:07:36.489,0:07:41.099
and type in a higher number.
0:07:41.099,0:07:45.319
To accept it, click back on the thumbnail.
0:07:45.319,0:07:49.199
To modify the size of the text in the
highlight areas,
0:07:49.199,0:07:51.810
make the Highlights layer active...
0:07:51.810,0:07:55.529
and double-click on the thumbnail to
highlight all the text.
0:07:55.529,0:07:58.539
I'll change point size to 6...
0:07:58.539,0:08:01.900
and click on the thumbnail to accept it.
0:08:01.900,0:08:06.339
Next, I'll show you how to make your
portrait into full color.
0:08:06.339,0:08:08.660
Make the top layer active...
0:08:08.660,0:08:12.159
and click on the new layer button to make
a new layer.
0:08:12.159,0:08:14.069
We'll fill it with White...
0:08:14.069,0:08:17.090
and since White is our foreground color
0:08:17.090,0:08:21.759
press, Alt or Opt + Delete.
0:08:21.759,0:08:23.839
Hide the layer...
0:08:23.839,0:08:26.159
open your Channels panel...
0:08:26.159,0:08:31.479
and click on the dotted, circular icon at
the bottom to select all the tonal values
0:08:31.479,0:08:33.210
of your image.
0:08:33.210,0:08:38.080
Open back up your layers panel and
make the white layer visible.
0:08:38.080,0:08:39.629
Invert the selection...
0:08:39.629,0:08:42.500
by pressing Ctrl + Shift + 'i" on a PC
0:08:42.500,0:08:45.530
or Cmd + Shift + "i" on a Mac.
0:08:45.530,0:08:46.970
To hide the selection,
0:08:46.970,0:08:49.770
press Ctrl or Cmd + "h".
0:08:49.770,0:08:53.440
Let's fill the selection with gradient
colors.
0:08:53.440,0:08:55.920
Open your Gradient tool...
0:08:55.920,0:09:00.200
and click on the gradient bar to open the
gradient editor.
0:09:00.200,0:09:02.660
Click on the lower, left "stop"...
0:09:02.660,0:09:04.870
and the color box.
0:09:04.870,0:09:06.730
Pick a color...
0:09:06.730,0:09:08.820
click, OK...
0:09:08.820,0:09:11.590
and click on the lower, right "stop".
0:09:11.590,0:09:14.350
Pick another color...
0:09:14.350,0:09:17.900
and close the windows.
0:09:17.900,0:09:19.960
I'll choose a linear gradient.
0:09:19.960,0:09:24.470
Have fun experimenting with all the
different types of gradients.
0:09:24.470,0:09:26.310
Go to the top of your document...
0:09:26.310,0:09:28.240
press and hold, Shift...
0:09:28.240,0:09:30.310
drag down the gradient to the bottom...
0:09:30.310,0:09:32.200
and release.
0:09:32.200,0:09:35.340
A quick way to change the colors of the
gradient...
0:09:35.340,0:09:38.130
is to click on the adjustment layer
button...
0:09:38.130,0:09:41.080
and choose, Hue Saturation.
0:09:41.080,0:09:43.250
By sliding the amounts of Hue...
0:09:43.250,0:09:46.030
Saturation and Lightness,
0:09:46.030,0:09:51.630
you can non-destructively change the
color of your portrait.
0:09:51.630,0:09:54.169
