7:08 what you can do to lower that is to go back to the dialog box of the displace filter (with those options you said they "don;t really matter" ) and type the exact number of pixels of the distortion horizontal or vertical. So as you see this dialog box is much more important for this technique and is much easier to control your distortion from there than to search for the perfect picture
Hey great tutorial, really helpful! One thing I did notice while doing this is that there is an easier way to do that step where you make it transparent - you can go into the smart object's layer style and play around with the 'Blend If' sliders until the white bg disappears.
I got lost with the transparency part. this is exactly what I wanted to learn but felt like it was so niche I just searched general vintage tutorials and stumbled on this. awesome tutorial.
8:53 hihi, gorgeous tutorial! But i am having trouble inverting it the second time. I got all layers correctly selected and everything looks exactly the same. When pressing cmd+I the second time it just goes back to where I was before pressing it the first time.
You have to deselect the whole object not just the layer. Invert it like in the video and then deselect the layer and the object by going to Select -> Deselect and then click on the mask and invert again.
By the way, making a selection of the black and white image could be done by command-clicking in the channels panel. Also a good place to store selections you can reuse later. That was how we did it before there were layers in Photoshop (yes, I am old). Very nice tutorial!
He said "drop a little threshold on" for those of you wondering what he did after blurring Also important and not made very clear: you want to save the gritty displacement map as a .PSD file
Louis, you are amaaaazing! Thank you so fuc*ing much for this tutorial. It took ages for me to find a tutorial that I truly understand about this style. Thank you so much. ♥️
Of course, you can also click on the text tool, then put your cursor between any two letters, hold down alt and use the arrow keys to bring individual letters closer or further apart...
Hi I'm not too familiar with working with masks, could I just do select the black text with the color range tool and do layer>create new layer from selection?
this is a great tutorial but im having issue on one thing. >press Ctrl + I to invert. no issue >invert the image again. it wont do it. i keep pressing Ctrl + I and it doesnt change anything

hi! great job Loulou, heres one of my issues... im importing an illustration as a smart object from AI and im not quite getting the effect, it shows the gaussian but when im applying threshold it seems nothing is going on there...any idea why that might be?
For those of you who might be on procreate you can Gaussian blur then use the select tool to fill the text as you desire then overlay a texture on top of the text layer :)
Is there any way to apply the threshold adjustment to just one layer? When I click on "clip to layer" it is supposed to apply the adjustment only to the layer below it, but instead the effect is completely removed for all the layers.

Hey! Amazing tutorial, very clear! One question tho, when I try to do it, I have a problem at distort -> displace: when I choose an image I saved as a psd, PS is displaying an error message "this document wasnt done on PS, impossible to import"... Anyone knows to solution to that? Thanks!!!!!
How come gausian blur + threshold doesn't work on lines, like frame lines? I have thin lines I'm trying to put this ink-bleed effect on, but the threshold slider doesn't change a thing.
idk if photoshop has updated since then, but my photoshop isn’t doing what his does when he does the threshold thing? it just keeps on being so blurry? how did he do that?
when I click on threshold the whole background turns black also when I export with no background threshold effect dissapears or when I merge all layers...
The Gaussian blur + Threshold was all I was here for. Game changer thanks
Easy win
You can also get a similar effect on Illustrator using the Image Trace tool
@@emersonmc1232 how can i do this on procreate? thank you!
What's your Insta @ bro? Love to checkout ur work!🇮🇳❤️
blkmarkt hating you for this rn
This comment is way underrated.

So I basically bought trash machine for nothing😂
Pim Bokhorst they literally sold you a tool that already exists lol
@@ohIear lol that's it, now I'm excited for InkLab dropping so that Louis makes another tutorial about it ahah
hugely underrated guy this is. he teaches us techniques which big guys use but never tell the secret. behind. mad respect sir 📈
Bruv...i’ve been looking for this effect for like a week😭 thank u king

Hi I'm not too familiar with working with masks, could I just do select the black text with the color range tool and do layer>create new layer from selection?
Great work bro!! I learned a lot! great pace! (Very fast for beginners - Like me) but to the point!! nice!
this is a great tutorial but im having issue on one thing.
>press Ctrl + I to invert. no issue
>invert the image again. it wont do it. i keep pressing Ctrl + I and it doesnt change anything
Make sure the right layers/masks are selected when inverting? Might be that
I'm having the same issue, followed everything step by step but that is the last step and it is so annoying lol

you need to have a background for it to work, not just transparent :)

having the same problem rn
Found a solution. Erase the threshold layer on the area you don’t want to be thresholded.
Why when I threshold the text, it turns pixelized? Yours so smooth and clean
you need to have a background for it to work, not just transparent :)
si jelas tuh caranya, si paham bgt paham
i can do everything but the last step lmao i cant for the life of me get this thing to invert like yours
I have the same problem
same here, can't make it transparent
Lmao me rn

Can we have a tutorial on how to cut scanned stuff for next content? Just like how you do to your post on Instagram (a pict of label)
Ay me cuesta un montón entender este ajajjaja entre no saber ingles y que tampoco se tanto de Photoshop.. pero igual está buenísimo!
got a new sub lad
THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHH
Liked and subscribed. Great content! Wheres that file(;
Every time I put the adjustment threshold on, nothing happens or the text itself disappears.
Thank you!
What's the name of the font did you use please ?
nice stuff man
this is fucking awesome dude omg
why whever I do this the threshold doesnt pop up even when i pick it imi so confused
When I put on the threshold adjustment, my type gets ragged/pixelated edges instead of smooth like yours. any idea of what im doing wrong?
Could you upload the first one texture in google drive? it is not available now :(
you can make rough effect with shorter steps by using displace grunge texture or something else
i'm trying to do this on an edit i'm working on except when i try selecting the text and treshold it tresholds my entire work? idk what to do abt this
thank you
do you know how i would be able to change the color after the threshold if possible???
How come gausian blur + threshold doesn't work on lines, like frame lines? I have thin lines I'm trying to put this ink-bleed effect on, but the threshold slider doesn't change a thing.
Maybe its too thin? Also try making it a smart object first - Hope that helps!
banger video
ty!
When i go to filter I dont see a button with distort on it...what's up with that? :)
any chance someone knows how to apply the threshold in affinity? cause for some reason every time I wanna use it on the text, nothing happens..
i love you louis
I wanted to go a step back to see what you did I clicked ctrl+Z by mistake
xDDD
Yo this is awesome could you upload the source now bc you have 1.5k 🔥🔥
idk if photoshop has updated since then, but my photoshop isn’t doing what his does when he does the threshold thing? it just keeps on being so blurry? how did he do that?

After I blur when I use threshold it doesn’t change anything
WHERE CAN I FIND THE FONT
Dafont
why when I save it with a transparent background the effect looks different?
best font for this?
Druk!
