Learning Photoshop while at the same time learn to use other tools for design is something I don´t have enough words to express gratitude. Fantastic tutorial :)

[@ah1002ah11001100]

That's amazing , and you can change the colors before you save it from photoshop to it will be easier .

[@nimandadohacer]

I apologise my comments was a non sense joke. Writing not always express as talking does . The thru is that you do a great work with your videos and you have to be a great person to respond dumbest comments. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

YOU my friend are a GENIUS! not enough word to thank you. I am now working on putting bible verses on images. I Am working on Isaiah 53 put on a pierced hand.

[@khunli7]

THATS LITERALLY WHAT IM DOING 😭😭😭

[@pramuditob3804]

Marty, can you make a tutorial on how to Photoshop a picture into a rockstar red dead redemption style?
Your vids are great by the way 👍

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thank you for your suggestion. I receive numerous requests every week and I do appreciate them all. I may eventually do some of them, but I can't promise I'll do any of them. I trust you understand. :-)

[@louisejaques7305]

Hi, can you explain why the words in wordart covered the whole image when I tried? Is there any setting that I've missed? How did you ensure the words don't cover the entire image? Thanks!

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

The word cloud fills the shape you upload: th-cam.com/video/RtUum5zB8Oc/w-d-xo.html

[@fida2475]

Wait wasn't the photoshop part unnecessary like didn't you use the actual image in the website? Or am I tripping?
Anyway great tutorial 💗💗

[@drostova]

I wondered this too, but I think cleaning out the background was the point of the Photoshopping.

[@sonisharma6473]

Sir mujhe kya is pure tutorial ka final jpeg image milsakta hai kya on my mail

[@er1742]

Can you recreate this with the new version..? Please....

[@pradeepkulkarni7911]

What was the use of Photoshop here when did all the work on the website? Did I miss something?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

You didn't miss anything. You're right - it's not a Photoshop tutorial, but since the text portrait was so effective, I wanted to show how to create it via the website.

[@bySterling]

#YOUROCK Marty!!! I'll add this to my #TheWebStylist services for clients (and some awesome new promos for my own brands!)

[@phenomenal_woman]

In order to use this program, do I need to have Photoshop install on my Mac first?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Before opening WordArt, you'll need Photoshop or another program that can remove your subject's background and replace it with a white background.

[@phenomenal_woman]

@@BLTV_Photoshop Thank you for answering so promptly. I get confused when I go to the App Store, is there only one photoshop and is it a subscription or one time purchase?

[@nasar_paid_agent]

Thanks 🤍🤍🤍

[@transformwithnana]

please which format did you save the picture before importing to wordplay?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

jpg

[@maanraja9098]

How to make mockup file sir

[@glowworm1899]

Which software is this ?

[@jyotidutta6469]

Which app you used firstly to separate the photo from its background

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

There are many ways to do this. I mostly use the Quick Selection Tool and drag it over the subject to select it. Then, click the Layer Mask icon. Place a white layer below the subject in the Layers panel.

[@shortstatusvideo00]

Sir ek question tha

[@esperanzameli6200]

I am having trouble uploading my smart object photo to WordArt. How should I save the Photoshop file so WordArt recognizes it?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

You can bypass the Smart Object by just making a copy of your photo (Ctrl + J) and use Word Cloud on the copy.

[@luxurycardstore]

There is a confusing disconnect in your video. At 1:35 you say you are going to convert the image to a smart object so that you can work on it non destructively, but you then skip to using the word art site without any further work on the image, nor do you save the work already done. Did I miss something?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Once you clicked "Convert to Smart Object", the photo instantly became a Smart Object. The rest is done on the word cloud website, which I guide you through. At 4:19, I begin to show how you use the photo of the face to create a customized word cloud portrait.

[@luxurycardstore]

@@BLTV_Photoshop Ok, but don't you need to save it as a JPG or PNG before you go to the word art site?

@@luxurycardstore Now I see. You are right. I would say, he doesn't need to " Convert to Smart Object " those two layers, but simply save it as a new image file with white background.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Right. It's not necessary to save it as a jpg or png before going to the word art site.

[@LanceAndrade]

@@BLTV_Photoshop So how would you find the image if you don't need to save it?

[@corinaramirez7160]

👌👍:)

[@NurHidayah-is7di]

what app do you use? do i need to download it first?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Go to 1:46 in the video.

[@NurHidayah-is7di]

Thanks for taking time to answer my stupid question🥴

[@silencedsniper5638]

Can you please tell me
Which software do you use for this ???

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Photoshop CC 2019 and Word Art

Hay sir. Can i change the background colour of these arts ?

Yes!

Any color instead of white?

[@vedantbhalerao5993]

which software should i use for this

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

You can use any version from CS or CC.

[@priyadharsinis3355]

Can this be done on Adobe Photoshop 7.0

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I think so. Not sure.

[@subhadipmallick3899]

Which website you are using

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

wordart.com/

[@bini3139]

Is it possible to make the words to be more visible i want to print something i made into a t-shirt but people are struggling to see the pther words

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I explain this at 4:40 in the video: th-cam.com/video/RtUum5zB8Oc/w-d-xo.html

[@bini3139]

Thanks ill check it out

[@abdulhaseeb410]

So, I did it directly to an image and got the same results. I don't get why there was a need for photoshop and converting to smart objects first? What did I miss

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Photoshop is used at the beginning to cut your subject out and place it onto a white background.

[@MSum5]

We miss your videos, Marty. We thought that you quit making videos. or TH-cam is not telling me that your videos are out.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Hmmm...I've been uploading new tutorials every Sunday evening or Monday morning every week for the past 6 years (even more often before that).

[@josediazh3890]

can this be done on cs6

thanks
u rock
can u do moving through portal manipulation

[@johnhayden8666]

The image you used wasn't the same image. You altered it somehow to work better with the website. It has a filter on it or something?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Before you apply the word cloud, use Threshold on the face.

[@johnhayden8666]

@@BLTV_Photoshop Thanks, that sounds about right.

[@lifegaming3829]

Bro is it photoshop software?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

After placing the face on a white background in PS, you use the word cloud software to create the word design.

[@shaklaincreates7623]

Bro is wordart.com safe for purchasing their unlimited plan?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I think so. Search for reviews.
