Grave Stone Engraving
This tutorial is more for fun than anything else. As we walk through this tutorial, we'll demonstrate how to take a grave or tomb stone and create text that looks as though it's been engraved upon it.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Open up a photo of a grave or tombstone. If the photo already has an engraving on it, then feel free to clone-stamp out the text so that it is a balck grave stone.
2. Select the "type" tool. Choose "white" as your color. Type the words (creating a new type layer) that you want on the grave stone.
3. Right click and choose "rasterize type" for each of the "type" layers that you made in order to spell out what you wanted to be said on the grave stone.
4. Merge all the "type" layers into one layer. Call this merged layer of type as "White Text".
5. Right click the "White Text" layer, choose Blending Options.
6. Select "Inner Shadow" option. Adjust the sliders and properties to the following:
7. You should have an engraved text effect on the grave stone.
8. Finally, changing the blending mode of the "White Text" layer to Soft Light. This will bring some of the underlying texture into the text.
9. You should now have your final grave stone text.
