[@AmodeusR]

This tutorial really helped me out to what I made! Awesome channel and teaching, thanks :P

[@AimarSA]

I was seeing the text colors pretty different as in your video and I didn't realize alomost until the end that I had the dust/grain group under all the layers except the BG, sow I was seeing the retro text purple and green, now it really looks very cool, I love this effect a lot, thank you so much for the tutorial.
P. S.: My mind almost blows with that much layer copies, and so many masks XD

[@AimarSA]

Finished, it could be better but the picture is better than I expected. I'll show you it on Instagram.

[@badfrank8339]

[@jolux]

[@nicestmanintheworld]

I actually created something nice, thanks for the tutorial!

[@eph1s]

great tutorial man

[@matthewmayhem9213]

Don't know why but, I couldn't make a Clipping Mask for the Fill Color (Purple) at 16:16. I followed every step and made sure I did by going over these steps twice. Still, wasn't able to add a Clipping Mask. I can't figure out how to get around it, either.

[@BananaJointTV]

The thumbnail looks better tbh, can you make a video about how to do that one too?

[@HiQer_]

good tutorial, thx

[@egypixels7419]

nice work

[@BrianMcBrideOfficial]

Hello! I'd like to use this tutorial to help me create some title text for a future novel cover of mine. Not sure what the rules are on tutorial-based design, but just wanted to check in with you to see if there's some sort of license or attribution I need to obtain from you? Thanks in advance!

whoa, thank you!

[@lexiepetranin7729]

great tutorial! worth the time :))

[@iamblue8272]

simple but nice tutorial (compared to those where you have to slow down the video by *0.25 to follow it x) )

[@justinreece408]

This is great, but is there a way to edit the "Retro" text layers to a different word?

[@getlikeaddy]

My horizontal ripples when setting the scale to 100 and 30 are not coming out looking anything like the one's in the tutorial...

[@retrotechexplorer3689]

you did it very great, this is the com. n° 💯 smile 😀 😄 😃

[@Bluumoh]

I have try but its to hard for me 😭😂😅

[@FoxRoad44]

thanks guys

[@HooTeeny]

The only problem with all these tutorials on my end is that my layout is completely different. So whenever you go to a button I spend 5 mins looking for where mine is located! Is there a preset I could select to see what youre seeing?

[@badfrank8339]

Hey, all is good except one thing. At 16:19, i have to ALT+CTRL+G to create a clipping mask but its grey for me...I try all and i can't do it...Could you help me? Thank you very much

[@OLDSCHOOL6239]

Everything was going fine up until 10:53. For some reason my version of Photoshop "its 2021" isn't allowing me to convert the Retro text from Smart Object back to PSD File, and normal Text to turn black. I can't double click at all. An error keeps coming up stating " Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". Is another option to get around this?

[@aeioux10]

Your retro effects looks so futuristic, how do I make it look retro ?

[@scottjohnnyhelgemoaune2951]

That Midnight song, is it royality free?
By the way: love your video, watched it several times!

[@mayavichy4987]

Very cool tutorial, leanrt a bunch of new techniques!

[@kladenstien9956]

[@rizkiwirianata389]

THX BRUHH

[@Daniel93082]

I don't have Photoshop and was wondering if you would be able to make me the exact same one but with my first and last name of course

[@RHLKN178]

when changing the layer to vivid light it doesn't turn out as shown in the video, instead of dark purple it becomes really washed out.

[@XpertGamerXGYT]

It's been 8 months. Show us more.

[@unwrittenllc5245]

I have a question. I created this through the tutorial, how do I just use the Outrun and convert that into a vector without losing the effects

[@BeegFro]

oh shit I didn't realise The Midnight was playing in the background

[@탕수육-o1g]

또 올려주세여.. 맨날 기다리고 있음

[@ScarletSky155]

11:49 I've done everything you said to do, but I can't get a white rectangle. It won't fill in. Help???

[@ryanedits3225]

look at the what fill and stroke colours are set too. You can see on the top toolbar. u most likely have fill set to transparent

[@ricachuuuu]

I just made mine :)

[@godagun85]

16:15 wont let me create a clipping mask to Retro text above Retro Folder using Cs5

[@ThePhilocypher]

I'm really curious to know how you got the rights to The Midnight's music. I love there stuff and I want to use it on my channel. How did you go about getting the rights?

[@abes2967]

I only needed the grid, and you googled it :c

[@passionbrown4711]

How did you add the dust background on there?

[@lemonplz]

Retro Outrunner.
Daft Punk.

[@amiralovato]

I didn't understand the repress part of the word Retro, someone who can explain it to me? ( windows)

[@roysteraero]

dude I did the wave filter and it looked like shit how can I reset it?

[@getlikeaddy]

Having the same issue.

[@ford4491]

[@adityaopplayz]

[@mkomg8275]

hey, can you made Marvel Studios logo

[@apocalypticmoose8080]

[@Fumeur2JuinPvP]

[@JaredtheRabbit]

The wave looks way different than your's when I do it.

[@realhuman5119]

You might have to change the y-axis' value

[@lizardmedia2257]

I cant find the 80's grid in the rights size
