" Welcome to yet another episode -- pixel perfect -- moderate show way -- whatever happens. Okay let's take care idea for work stuff. One thing my sponsors godaddy.com. The guy to give me newspapers stuff. Where you can create your mobile website using web site tonight from godaddy.com.

If you enter pixels six scene right there on the screen when you check out. Enter that code and you can save an additional 20%. -- 20%. On any twelve. Or 24 months hosting plan. Some restrictions you know the usual okay. So. I got some. And things got to tell you today and it. Broke. One."

" He's back. The sound effects in with out of actors get better and better now the brownies -- I cannot believe you. Act you I barometer is the final lot. I gave up on the medical finalized and the songs. About C. And a doctorate. -- that but if you can move your -- And are you -- that at all it and it. Today is destroying. Text this morning tax in apparently in a pirate way. On the screen right now among the studio audience the studio audience we. -- What are we looking at -- this is an eye chart. To test seem that you can be the captain of a pirate -- acting you mean the latter yeah bottom. Error. Aren't there aren't. That are. You wanna learn about."

" Distressing. Text like a pirate. But you want to be able to edit it and rolled them so that's today's project. So let's close this start from the beginning here. Let's get. The latter are considered. The best -- to work like you are Simon nice background I wanna. Roughing up this Texan just to prove to her body double click to you can. I almost got out of character of their Vermont independent and -- don't click on the icon within the layers palate and not that it's."

" attacks and then you can just you know or not and and I just change some text to. How are in our favorite author of the weight like in the pocket like a pirate for that doctor have a patch on there -- She put that on imposed bid or go but it patch and -- movement after effects together and your. Back to our story. So you concede that I can edit the text right and saw that yep okay."

" We want to be able to edit the text all the way through the project to get really rough. Text. So here's the -- targeting text layer. -- in filters but check this out and CS three we can up convert for smart filters. So it takes what is edible. And and enables it to be filtered. In the past -- described whispered let's turn this off it's like it's raster -- in the text. So in encapsulated inside and very scientifically. Inside. Is. The real text we can -- on the outside of these pixels it's captured. And so think of that I can run filters on pixel items in -- I want to run a filter. On something that's normally. -- like text put it inside a smart object then it's. So here we are and so out of -- the -- smart object double click on smart object. And reveals. Separate smart object I'm liking it. So now we want to go in here and do a little tricks we want to add some extra space. So -- going to canvas size. Let's bring us up to six inches. Had -- six inches centric. Now why did I add that -- and if I wanna learn my text or add special effects that stretch out beyond the edges. You need more space and typically when you capture text it puts it. -- and talk. To Klaus. Liking your projects needs some work space. So in the workspace. We're gonna add a new layer. That's had a new layer here from the base of the layers palate. Fill it with whites. I learned this from Michael -- half of background color is white if you hold down the command or control key and the delete key. Or backs things. It -- fills that with the background color. I changed their position. So that the text is onslaught of pop of the white and bricks as. You breath. No he said wanted to do that. Why did you do that does. Just like pixels and when you're using filters I find it my best effects. When the pixels on white you know transparency almost gives us trouble and that's that is not working on transparency. Change it to white and then filters were so let's say this commander control ass. We close it. And here it is back in -- document. It's got white against it you know district William white and doing it written you multiply. -- or multiplying and so what appears. As multiplies like putting all the armies with time to. Negatives in two transparencies and a light table. Kids these days don't normally table and transparency. And nevermind. You also now see this picture coming in. So -- certain."

" At some textures coming through -- we're ready for our filters so under the filter menu. Let's put an artistic round sponge on this for example can use any number of these let's go in and sponge this up. So now we're gonna run filter on the outside. It's bonds looks pretty good right now let's bring up our sponge sides. Slide. Now. That looks -- so sponge it. We click okay sponges it back into position and and then let's add another filter let's go targeting still target here. On filters. Lets you brush strokes with to a spatter -- these are my favorites they do the most destruction to this. I've run needs for a radius and smoothness. Way up here to get a nice rough and just crank things up. Winning you know you can follow you know the guidelines. Doctor brown always uses 24 getting here and slide these around telling it which you're looking for button click okay. Now let's wait for it that's zooming in here amusingly. Command space -- or control space -- keys and clicking and dragging. Look at this image and that's an interesting -- the check this out if you cast your eyes back over your effort to protect their earnings. If I click on the -- sponge and drag it up. On top of the words matter I can change the order and we know how when you layer things in Photoshop if you change the order of different filters. It is a different effects and now I have a little bit. Smoother so first it's battering then it's Aziz first it's plunging then it has -- cuts moves down from the top. So we zoom back out if we zoom back out oh don't do that down do that let's double click on the hand tool back out here. And you can see we know a rough edge go back end at any time and it justice rough edge. Now there's one more thing. One more thing and I mean you one more trick to this bird 92. Double click what I'm my -- I'm gonna double click here in this blue space because I don't know any other way to do it. DoubleClick in the -- space always brings up your layer style for that particular there. And this is one of my favorites. When you wanna combine things together in -- lazy like I and then you're not talented labored. Anyone's masks things don't forget that you can use the blend if for the layer this layer as in the text layer we want to make the let's just trash it let's make the highlights oh."

" That I target on -- the -- that in effect I'm in the text where there let's try this on its -- a black. There Leo I'm gonna actually break this and half I'm gonna hold down my option or alt key click on this divider and then start to slide. -- how can start to make the darker regions showed through."

" And ask you more of the illusion that the text is moving all for this service. Paper so try this on either one of these. And have them show through the paper coming through. Time and papers coming through and I'm gonna hold down -- option or alt key. Split the triangle. Yeah see how actors paper coming through so it looks more like printed service surface. Surface. -- yeah and so when you are distressing text that's the key now you'd just to close this off crew ross'. We've done all this to this text double click. Bring -- back open. Select my text tool it's coming to me and issue."

" and save that file. Clothes that back. Down. It's changing its thinking. It's. Thinking. Clothes and come back and look at that so -- same effects undated. Just to. He just can hear them that just applauding out there."

" There all applauding and saying what that -- empire but that's okay hit hardest. Priority. It. It's beautiful and good job now I hope you learned something and remember. Human I have to do all this complete text and stuff but all those different techniques involve you -- around a little bit change a few values here and there. It other effects happy accidents waiting to happen. He's back I don't stay that was lost in space. Remember when will -- cut -- outside the station and the robot. Cause I don't watch that is -- on the web two when you're going to us. I'll open and so people Batman and I hope to see you guys next week."
