[Tutorial Link] Text Portrait Effect in Photoshop

[ad_1]
Follow this tutorial:

In today’s Photoshop tutorial we’re going to create a cool portrait effect using a long passage of text that bends and deforms around the contours of the face. Known as a Calligram, this effect is particularly powerful when used to present famous quotes or speeches by depicting the author/speaker with the actual words. Photoshop’s Displace filter is the key ingredient in this recipe which allows us to accurately wrap the text around the subject.

    Hope to see more of these text link videos turn into full blown video ones. I would rather sit here and watch then read text.

    I have followed your online written instruction but can't do this: CMD+Click the thumbnail of the displaced text layer to load its selection, then turn off the layer visibility. Go to Edit > Copy Merged (or CMD+Shift+C) to take a clipping of the face using the outline of the words.
    A video would be great help!
