I am try to figure out how to make text look weathered or older in photoshop. i am also trying to make it look like the text was spray painted on using stencils. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Try the satin, bevel and emboss, and pattern overlay layer styles. Also spraypaint a bit with white paint in a new layer, and use the layer as a selection or inverse it and delete from the text layer. Before you do any of this you will probably have to merge the text with a transparent layer to make it editable as image data, not vector data.

If you want more detail please ask, I have no idea how proficient you are with photoshop.

NNOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo

This morning I typed a long tutorial in this thread. Now gone.
What happened?

A tutorial would be super! Thank would be great. I am basically learning when it comes to photoshop, but with a couple specific instructions I could figure it out. My question is really 2 questions. 1. How do I make text look weathered and 2. how do i make different text look like it was spray painted using stencils. Thank you so much.
