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.
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. ♥️
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!
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.
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
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
@@rachelletraveller2920 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.
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.
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! 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 :)
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?

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!!!!!
@@LouisMoss trying the same specs as in your vid and still having the same problem with pixelation. tried 300 then 600 dpi and scaled the smart object up and down. :/
hey! i think its because you have to create a threshold from the adjustment window, not by going into image > adjustments > threshold. that was happening for me at least.
please i need help, i made an album cover with a png that has an outerglow effect and that effect leaks out where its not supposed too.....please what to i do to erase the unwanted parts of the outer glow effect
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?
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.
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...
Any reason why my text is staying blurred even when I add the threshold? My bg is thresholding but not my text... Tried clipping the threshold layer to the text and still got nothing.
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 📈

Ace work again bro 👏🏻
Great Tutorial
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

Found a solution. Erase the threshold layer on the area you don’t want to be thresholded.
Great tutorial. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for this tutorial! Super useful
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?
you need to have a background for it to work, not just transparent :)
thank you so much for this
sick.! Thanks so much
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 :)
King!
one day when i get to make a living off of designs i'm gonna have this man and this man alone to thank
Thank youu! I would reeally appreciate a video explaining the workflow using this technique:)
you can make rough effect with shorter steps by using displace grunge texture or something else
Ur a genius thank u sooo much
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?
the shade towards the conservatives made me subscribe lmfaooo
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 :)
What's the name of the font did you use please ?
why whever I do this the threshold doesnt pop up even when i pick it imi so confused
best font for this?
Druk!
si jelas tuh caranya, si paham bgt paham
THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHH
banger video
got a new sub lad
Thank you!
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?
nice stuff man
let's start off by writing something dirty, *writes prince andrew* hahahahah
this is fucking awesome dude omg
thank you
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

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
whenever I do this, my artwork starts to look more pixelated than bleed, what can I change?
Try making a bigger file
were you ever able to figure it out? having the same issue
@@vengeancecortes2700 also having the same issue. Tried 300 resolution and then 600 and still just pixelated.

ty!
Thank u so much Luis, it's awesome but can u re-upload the first texture for the displace map, (it was deleted from unsplash) thanks.
When i go to filter I dont see a button with distort on it...what's up with that? :)
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?
you need to have a background for it to work, not just transparent :)
why when I save it with a transparent background the effect looks different?
Every time I put the adjustment threshold on, nothing happens or the text itself disappears.
i love you louis
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!
After I blur when I use threshold it doesn’t change anything
Liked and subscribed. Great content! Wheres that file(;
What font did he use for the main type?
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...
How are you able to go back to your gaussian blur and edit it so easily ?
Double click on the text ‘Gaussian blur’ on your layer and it will pop up
@@LouisMoss thanks heaps man :)!
Any reason why my text is staying blurred even when I add the threshold? My bg is thresholding but not my text... Tried clipping the threshold layer to the text and still got nothing.
Is the threshold later above the text layer?
you need to have a background image for the threshold to apply!
Could you upload the first one texture in google drive? it is not available now :(
