This tutorial will teach you how to make this mist-like painting effect of text that can be used to make wallpaper.
Final effect
Create a new document size the 1024x768px background color is filled with black. Create a new layer with splash brush in the center of the screen to do some splash effect, the following steps we will directly talk about the middle of the text area.
Right-click on the layer to select a blending option to open the Layer Style dialog box. Add an outer glow style setting parameter as follows. Now we want to grid the layer because we want to edit the layer as a whole, there are two methods that are commonly used, one is to choose to convert to a smart object in the Layer Palette menu (located in the upper-right corner of the layers panel), but to create a new layer below the splash layer, select splash layer, and perform the downward merge (ctrl+e) layer command. The first type is recommended.
Now you need a picture that resembles a wall, concrete, rock or sand. I think it's better to have a wind-blown concrete, and I'll find a piece here. Download the splash layer on top of Photoshop and press ALT to click between the layers to create a clip mask of concrete material. The effect is shown below.
