This is just gold. I have been messing with Photoshop for more than 10 years it never even occured to me you could do something like this. Now this is a Photoshop channel.
I got 29 years on PhotoShop but I use 3D software to do this - there's an image feedback an displacement trick you can do in most 3D software that does stuff like this, I use it for creating animated planet atmospheres.
In case you can't get it to work like in the video, check for the file settings for the displacement map. Under Preferences > File Handling the checkbox for "Disable Compression of PSD and PSB Files" needs to be checked. And "Maximize PSD and PSB File Compability" needs to be "Always". Then it worked like a charm for me. Thanks so much for the tutorial! Bringing PS to another level.
same here, never seen technique like this, very creative, i hit like button when he asking, and subscribed at the end of video, need to watch other video from his channel
Every time I think I know enough about photoshop to call myself an expert, I come across people like this... Fine, take my subscribe sir... you've earned it...
How in the world did you figure this out? Simply incredible use of the general math and concepts behind each function in PS to create something totally unique. Hats off.
I've been using photoshop for 25 years as well, and this tutorial made me so excited! It's been years since I've been that excited about a new technique in Photoshop! Your channel and website are a treasure trove!!
What wizardry is this... How on earth do you think, how does your mind work, if I do this, then add that and then click here, alter those. How ever you dream and create these techniques, they are brilliant! 👍
I'm a teacher for some years, and wanted to say Love the way you teach… great examples packed with some deep learning of principles in a tight tutorial that is accessible to a wide level of users. Will share with students and other teachers :) Great work keep it up (spent the evening do a marathon of 8 in a row :) )
Thank you for stacking the command sequence on-screen, finally someone is doing this. It took me years to find someone who does this! I just subscribed. If this video is any indication I can't wait for what else you can show us. Very cool and you know that what you did is just crazy - it's too good!
When Brady said "it's all original techniques that you won't find anywhere else", I thought to myself, that really is the truest statement. Thanks Brady, I appreciate your work and willingness to teach.
Dude! seriously one of the best and clever custom effect I ever saw! Im a motion graphic artist who use After Effects and i'll try to transfert the concept to After Effect by stacking a displacement effect, but I can always use this technic in Photoshop and make a image sequence. Thanks for your work!
I Can't stress this enough, your tutorials are so freaking awesome. I'm thankful to find a 25 yrs of experience master in photoshop so glad and willing to share all the secrets that take quite a few years to master. Thanks once again for all your amazing tutorials.
@@gavlang I think because he didn't need a "Rasterize Layer" command, but a "Rasterize Layer Style" command which only happens of you have a style to rasterize. If that's the case then it might work with other styles set to 0% opacity as well.
I've been using Photoshop almost daily since 1996 when there weren't even LAYERS on the freaking app and I'm just continuously blown away by these tutorials. THANK YOU!!!
This is insane, I would NEVER have guessed that was all digital, looks so authentic and analog ... Why Adobe hasen’t hired you as an PS Evangelist yet is beyond me ...
I've been using PS for over 25 years and have tried to figure this out with a big fat fail... Your video is amazing. Your delivery and instruction are superb! I thoght I knew it all!! Thanks to you I know a little bit more... I'm humbled! Thanks so much!!!! I liked and subed...
I'm not in the field anymore, but 25 years is about the time I've started to use Photoshop as well... This action is state of the art, it is truly mind-blowing. Thanks, wonderful channel.
this chap is good. he has a niche. not too fast not too slow and not over excited. and none of the fantasy stuff of maidens kissing oversized wolves under a blood red moon. one of the top explainers out there. and generous with his resources.
You are a real genius man! I always loved coming up with new ways to make popular effect, i even have some crazy techniques on some tuts on my channel. Thanks for sharing your techniques man❤️.
Your tutorials are definitely the best on TH-cam for how to work with type in PS. I'm a photographer, and (obviously) use PS for my photography editing work. But I also design t-shirts as a side gig, and I've always struggled to do much with manipulating text in PS until I happened upon your tutorials. I was pretty much resigned to having to pony up for a sub for Illustrator, but I'm pretty sure everything I could want to do is covered in your excellent videos. I'm going to sub to your Patreon instead, because your tutorials really are priceless (even if I have to watch them at quarter-speed to be able to follow what you're doing!) Anyway, keep up the good work and thanks for all the hard work you put into this.
I've been using photoshop for 20 years and just stumbled on your channel. Instantly did the patreon deal. Love the psd files for a quick reminder. Some of the best tutorials i have ever seen. Thank you!
I was stuck on this for a little bit, so i'm just letting anyone know who ran into this issue (because I was listening to the video and not watching). At 5:35 he says to change the Output Level don't change the Input Level. I changed the Input Level at first and was left with a really ugly and contrasty look. After using the Output Level it worked out perfectly.
Ok, so every flyer I design from today onwards will have bleeding text! Thank you! I LOVE this effect and it’s so persuasive as a genuine ink bleed! Bravo!! 👏👏👏
Hey, Brady, this looks so cool! But I seem to be missing something 😅I now rebuilt this action 4 times, (even reinstalled photoshop in English lol ) trying to copy every step exactly as you showed. And yet I never get these watery and runny textures. First time running the action it looks pretty similar to your first round. Then I get ever darker ink blobs which at some point turn completely black, with only some of the color shining through at the edges. Any idea where I mess up?
Ah that sounds really frustrating! I definitely want to try to help get it working... thinking the problem could be one of two things: The Levels adjustment at 5:30 should be what makes each application of the effect a little bit lighter. Check that part (you can always double click the step in the action panel to edit it) and make sure it's the Black Output level that gets set to 30, and not the Black Input level. Otherwise, the action also uses the Darken blending mode in a bunch of places... I think if any of those were set to Multiply instead of Darken, it would probably create the same problem you're running into. I hope it's one of those two things, but if not, send me an email - address is in the About section of the channel - and I'll help solve it!
@@Texturelabs Yessss!! It was the level-adjustment. As suspected, the problem was sitting 30 cm in front of the screen lol Thanks a lot for your help and please keep up the awesomeness. You're teaching some beautiful sorcery here ❤️
This is the most beautiful Photoshop tutorial i have ever seen. Water color Simulation of Photoshop looks 99.9% natural. Thank you for sharing this secret thesis. This can be a PHD subject for a mathemeatics student.
Thank you! You are sincere and handsome person. I have learned from you this trick in 25 minutes, which lasted from you 25 years. This can be animated as well. You deserve Adobe Oscar! Thus you made the world better.
i'm very experienced in photoshop so usually youtube tutorials seem stupid and pointless. however, i was served up this video today, so for the first time i have "smashed that subscribe button"
Excellent video! I've been playing with PS for 25 years too and this never occurred to me either! Well done! Great teaching method too, very clear and concise!
Well, I've been using Photoshop since before it had layers. No kidding. I've come up with more than a few custom effects over the years, but nothing like this. Your use of min and max to smooth detail is brilliant.
I can almost tell you have experience with 3d, everything is so procedural, so thoughtful, and so ingenious. I've been using photoshop for 12 years now but I rarely came across something this interesting. How you juggle every effect and filter so intuitively is beyond me. Gold mine. Subscribed and a big huge thanks for sharing this knowledge.
Been using photoshop for 25 years as well and I did a similar effect using displacement maps, noise and gaussian blur, but this has a much better result. Thank you for posting this
my god ive been using this program for 3 and a half years (not as long as some of you other guys) and ive wanted do do this sorta thing for so long. you're certainly a genius my friend!
I really love how you approach and teach stuff about photoshop. You do things out of curiosity, and BAMMM, you get to discover cool stuff!!! That's really impressive‼
OMG stacking the steps in clear n precise manner is the best out of all the tutorial adobe videos ive watched! thanks, so many times i have had to go back n back n back on yooutube to catch what is said and done! you rule man!
Imagine working at a place and your creative director was like "Hey, I need you to create an ink bleed effect with this text I'll provide", then you try to remember this tutorial in how to do so lmaoo. This is one fear that I have with working as a graphic designer somewhere.
Super useful, also this tutorial has made me more confident with stuff like setting repeatable actions. I've benn messing around also with the displacement map to see what kind of effects were possibile. I found that we can cut in half and mirror the clouds in the displacement map to have a Rorschach like effect. Also you can make stuff like letters appear in the bleed by filling the object that we want to make appear in neutral gray and by adding an internal black glow (add noise after).
Even before I can see the whole video, I got to comment. I have seen someone labeling the steps in this way for the first time and that is the perfect way anyone could have done it after so long. Obviously, after having practiced this for one, I would not want to memorize the steps but when I come back after having forgotten the steps, I want to have a glance at the steps and implement the process again rather than going through the whole video again or even scroll through timestamps. Lifetime saver on time. I see you are finely awake after having used PS for 25 years! Oops I guess I can just create and save this action for later use :p
Holy magic.
this is the coolest thing i've ever seen done in photoshop, and i've been using it every day for 15 years
That's because you only learn this after 25 years.
@@AyyyyyyyyyLmao 😂
20 years here. I have rarely used the Photoshop stock filters. It's like the programmers knew what they were doing when they added them.
Holy Shit! I've been trying to do this for ten years! Can't believe This channel is as underappreciated as it is!
Awesome thanks Humberto!
This is just gold. I have been messing with Photoshop for more than 10 years it never even occured to me you could do something like this. Now this is a Photoshop channel.
You need 15 years more to figure out things like this lol
OK
I got 29 years on PhotoShop but I use 3D software to do this - there's an image feedback an displacement trick you can do in most 3D software that does stuff like this, I use it for creating animated planet atmospheres.
How on God’s green earth do you figure this stuff out jaja. So cool.
Haha... I definitely get obsessed with a certain filter, like displace, then just keep messing with it endlessly...
@@Texturelabs I love it ! I just recently learned how to use displacement a little bit for textures and I love what can be achieved with it.
hahaha same thought never imagined he would arrive till here with all the steps involved
You need 25 years practise
Haha i think you made a type when writing "haha" xD
In case you can't get it to work like in the video, check for the file settings for the displacement map. Under Preferences > File Handling the checkbox for "Disable Compression of PSD and PSB Files" needs to be checked. And "Maximize PSD and PSB File Compability" needs to be "Always".
Then it worked like a charm for me. Thanks so much for the tutorial! Bringing PS to another level.
Thank u a lot!!!
I've never actually been more convinved to subscribe to a channel in my life. Very good and useful videos.
Very cool, that's a nice compliment!
same here, never seen technique like this, very creative, i hit like button when he asking, and subscribed at the end of video, need to watch other video from his channel
@@Texturelabs Thanks for this tutorial, very pleasant to see and hear

25yrs to figured this out?? You coul've just watched this video dude!
MIND BLOWING, this is SO GOOD. Been trying for ages to find a good way to do watercolor and this is perfect.
Haha right on... I seriously have been trying to figure it out for years too!
Next time I get an order for photographic edition I'll sign the work with your name for giving you all the credit of it...AMAZING
Can I just say that this channel is everything I have ever been searching up and could never find? Thank you!
This is the most sophisticated tutorial on Photoshop graphics that one can find on TH-cam.
I've been using photoshop for 25 years as well, and this tutorial made me so excited! It's been years since I've been that excited about a new technique in Photoshop! Your channel and website are a treasure trove!!
What wizardry is this...
How on earth do you think, how does your mind work, if I do this, then add that and then click here, alter those.
How ever you dream and create these techniques, they are brilliant!
👍
Ha, appreciate that! It's a surprising amount of staring at the screen waiting for light bulbs to show up....
This vid was just algorithmed to me. The noise part of the displace layer *really* makes this! Beautiful discovery.
I'm a teacher for some years, and wanted to say Love the way you teach… great examples packed with some deep learning of principles in a tight tutorial that is accessible to a wide level of users. Will share with students and other teachers :) Great work keep it up (spent the evening do a marathon of 8 in a row :) )
Very nice to hear that from a teacher, thank you!
just pressed the record action button and started feeling nervous, holy cow, respects on how much flow you have working on this!
In the amount of time it took to set the “action”, I learned to speak fluent Cantonese.
Way to dig deep! Thanks for sharing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
hahahahahaha, excellent
Thank you for stacking the command sequence on-screen, finally someone is doing this. It took me years to find someone who does this! I just subscribed. If this video is any indication I can't wait for what else you can show us. Very cool and you know that what you did is just crazy - it's too good!
Man that's not the skill, that's LOVE ❤, the real love for photoshop and graphics designing.
I’ve been a Retoucher for 13 years and would never have thought to try doing something like this. Kudos!
When Brady said "it's all original techniques that you won't find anywhere else", I thought to myself, that really is the truest statement.
Thanks Brady, I appreciate your work and willingness to teach.

I don't know if I could love this more... WOW THANK YOU!
This is pure alchemy
LOL... what sorcery is this.... You are a Photoshop Magician. Thanks for sharing!! Super rad effect.
When you added the drop shadow with 0 opacity: wtf are you doing.
When you explained it: *claps*
You can't teach that level of PS greatness. The man simply has a gift.
I still don't get it. Why can't he just raster the text layer?
@@gavlang I think because he didn't need a "Rasterize Layer" command, but a "Rasterize Layer Style" command which only happens of you have a style to rasterize. If that's the case then it might work with other styles set to 0% opacity as well.
I have no words! I been doing this with brushes, but never got the effect I wanted, for 20 years!
I dont do much graphic design in photoshop, but I paint a lot on it. Watch me now incorporate this technique to every new painting I do 😭
I do 3d modelling, and i love reconstruct the original texture, your channel is a blessing, thanks
I've been using Photoshop almost daily since 1996 when there weren't even LAYERS on the freaking app and I'm just continuously blown away by these tutorials. THANK YOU!!!
Photoshop 2.0 on a floppy disk... Just the fact having a colour scan of a photo on your computer was mind blowing by then... Good old times.
This is insane, I would NEVER have guessed that was all digital, looks so authentic and analog ... Why Adobe hasen’t hired you as an PS Evangelist yet is beyond me ...
I'm near to tears ♥
wow.... this might be one of the most comprehensive lessons on photoshop i've ever had
finally a watercolour effect
they should make this as a filter or brush
I've been using PS for over 25 years and have tried to figure this out with a big fat fail... Your video is amazing. Your delivery and instruction are superb! I thoght I knew it all!! Thanks to you I know a little bit more... I'm humbled! Thanks so much!!!! I liked and subed...

I always loved coming up with new ways to make popular effect, i even have some crazy techniques on some tuts on my channel. Thanks for sharing your techniques man❤️.
No problem.... Just checked out your channel, totally! That advanced glow is rad.
This blew my mind honestly. I have been using photoshop for about same time, (20 years) The final result is so realistic its ridiculous.!

As someone who's been using Photoshop for most of my life, you just absolutely blew my mind. This is astrounding!
Insane tutorial! Now someone has to translate that into after effects and make a video effect out of it :D
and i thought i dig enough photoshop features, but this, this is the dark alley
Set at half speed and you can actually follow along.

Yeah, all I can say is thank YOU, thanks youtube algorithm 😍
Wow, just when I thought I knew how to do 5% of Photoshop and you came up with this....back to 1% knowledge for me. :) Amazing
BRUH, I work with photoshop almost everyday and finding these kinds of tutorials makes my giddy. Thank you!

Been using PS since 1995. This is one of the most amazing effects I've seen. Subbed, liked and I will share the heck out of it. You're my new PS hero.
A very elegant solution. You are the master.
Thanks for the kind words, always something new to learn and figure out here...
I'm flipping out over how cool this is
The real-world applications of this are just unreal. So amazing.
That's completely insane. It's like you're redoing the steps nature does, inside the program. incredible.
Of course you're out here pushing the envelope of photoshop ACTIONS. Absolute MAD LAD
Imagine working at a place and your creative director was like "Hey, I need you to create an ink bleed effect with this text I'll provide", then you try to remember this tutorial in how to do so lmaoo.
