This article small series for everyone to introduce the use of Photoshop to create lotus flower fonts, text from the water floating, the effect is peculiar, the following and small together to see how the specific operation.

Final effect Diagram

I. Processing of words

1, open a material file, preferably vector files, adjust the size ratio, we want to use it for background. This example chooses a water feature with Ripple as the background, because it is "lotus flower".

2, the Activation Toolbox input tools, in the pop-up dialog box type "lotus flower" four words, the example selected "Creative arts Complex" font, size to the size of the background map to decide on it.

3. Activate the Mobile tool in the toolbox, and move the "lotus flower" four words to the right position. To further process the text, convert the text layer to a graphic layer. Right-click and select the Convert Layer command in the pop-up dialog box.

4, the implementation of Select/load Selection (select/Load Selection) menu commands, the "Lotus Flower" circle range. Select the "Lotus flower" transparent channel in the pop-up dialog box to confirm.

5, set the foreground color Purple red, background color set to white. Activates the line gradient tool in the toolbox and selects foreground to Background (foreground dorsally color gradient) in the pop-up color gradient panel. Then use the linear gradient tool to draw a straight line from top to bottom in the graph.

6, create a new layer on this layer 1.

7, the layer 1 of the text to handle the package side. Execute Edit/stroke ... (Edit/stroke ...) menu command, the parameter is set to: a normal mode like pixels, inner glow, opacity 50%. The foreground color is set to white and the background color is purple (below).

8, on the layer 1 to achieve three-dimensional word effect. While holding down the Ctrl+alt key, click the left button, click on the key again, cycle repeatedly until the font thickness (if you want to one-step, you can select the Filter toolbar "displacement" this filter).

9. Drag layer 1 in the layers panel to place it under the "Lotus flower" layer.

10, select the "Lotus flower" layer, through the implementation of Select/load Selection (select/Load Selection) menu commands, the Circle range of text. In the pop-up dialog box, select the lotus flower transparent channel.

11, similar to 7 for "lotus flower" plus a white edge, the parameter set to: a like pixels, external light-emitting, opacity to 100% normal mode.

12, press Ctrl+d, cancel the selection.

Second, the implementation of text effects

1, on the Level Panel, with the left mouse button click on the layer 1 "eyes" after the small box to establish its "Lotus flower" layer link. Executes the layer/merge linked (Layer/merge link layer) menu command, merging two layers into one layer with the name still called "Lotus flower".

2, in order to achieve the "water" effect, we want to add a layer mask to the lower part of the text layer. Perform Layer/add Layer mask/reveal all (layer/Add layer mask/Show All) menu commands.

3, choose Black as foreground color, white as background color. Using the linear gradient tool, the lower half of the word "lotus flower" is colored with the foreground color gradient, where we can see that the bottom part of the "Lotus flower" has disappeared into the water.

Click the layer in the layers panel to return it to its normal state.

Next we make the reflection.

4, repeat the fourth step, take out the circle range of text.

5. Perform edit/copy (edit/copy) and Edit/paste (Edit/paste) menu commands, copy these four words. The system will automatically create a layer 1. We just have to use it to make a reflection.

6, the implementation of Edit/transform/flip Vertical (Edit/Transform/Vertical Flip) menu commands, the text off all.

7, the use of mobile tools, text alignment.

8, repeat 2, add a layer mask to layer 1.

9. Activate the Brush tool in the toolbox, the nib is selected as follows.

In the middle of the graphic horizontal line, preferably wider, so that the effect is much better. See how it works?

Like 3, click on the layer to return it to its normal state.

10, in order to further highlight the effect of the text in the water, in the Layers panel, select the overlap effect of the graphic screen (screens), opacit (opacity) set to 80%.

11, repeat the Nineth step, put the "lotus flower" layer on layer 1.

12, the final step is also a more critical step, we can in layer 1 through the "ripple", so that the reflection looks more lifelike. Executes the filter/distort/ripple (Filter/Twist/Ripple) menu command, and in the dialog box that pops up, select the size of the ripple as "medium" and the number is "200".

Ok! to celebrate our success.
