Stone Text

In this tutorial, we'll be creating a text effect that is formed by small stones. .

Press D to reset your colors to default

Use the "Type tool" and create your text color white on black background. Use a fairly large font for best results.

Then go to Filter » Texturizer » Stained Glass: (when asked to rasterize, select "YES")
(The following setting may vary depending on the size of your text).
Cell Size:12. Border Thickness: 8 Light Intensity: 1

Now go to "Select » Color Range" and click on the white of the stained glass to select it.

Now switch over to the channels pallete, create a new channel, and fill the selection with WHITE.

Press CTRL+D to deselect.

Now go to Filter » Blur » Gaussian Blur Set Radius: 4.0

Now go to Image » Adjustment » Levels.

Then move the sliders so your image is sharp again.

Now switch back to the layers pallete, you can hide the original text layer because we wont be working with it anymore.

Now to go Select » Load Selection. In the channel field, select Alpha 1, this will load the select from the channels pallete.

Now create a new layer and fill this selection with grey then DESELECT

Now apply the following:

- Drop Shadow

- Inner Shadow

- Bevel and Emboss

- Color Overlay - You can set this to grey or any color to your liking.

This looks better on other background other than black, the reason we use black above is because of the way the selections work.

Jim Jun/16/2010 17:18The stone texture on the text is done really well. Kinda like a mosaic. It actually inspired me for my logo design and I got my designer from LogoDesignPlanet.com to design a logo incorporating elements found from your tut. It came out better than expected as I thought it would be difficult to look strong and corporate but it looked really polished. Even my friends who were skeptics at first were blown away by how the logo design turned out. I got to thank you for posting this tut as I did show to my designer for reference to how I want it to look like. Thanks heaps!
ChronicMidori Apr/30/2010 08:07wow, how did so many morons end up commenting on a photoshop tut? You think they would all be on my space or something like that.. Awesome tut btw! I love how you can add so many layer effects to come up with something so different than any one layer effect can achieve! Makes one want to open the program just to experiment and see what else one can come up with.. Apparently, it also make less productive...er... people want to spout non sense. They must be attention deprived eh? Thanks for the tut it definitely gave me some ideas for my current project. Keep up the good work and good luck dealing with all the point less comments you seem to get..

Anonymous Nov/08/2009 04:48WTF "YOU GUYS ARE SO DUMB FOR PUTTING NASTY FOR PUTING THAT STUFF ON THE INTERNET " OMFG are you serious, "you guys are so dumb for putting nasty for puting that" I'm not sure what for putting nasty for puting means...And they technically didn't "put" it on the internet, and if you think that's nasty, you need to get out your deep dark hole in the ground and live.
