![]() This allowed the lighter areas of the wood texture to show through. For this logo, I split the white slider for the Underlying Layer. I just try them both until I find what I like. Which slider you use depends on the image. Pressing-and-holding the Option (PC: Alt) key when you click on a slider knob allows you to split it, making the transition smooth. When you do this, you will notice the transition is harsh. You can affect what is visible by moving the sliders around. You determine the intensity by way of a slider going from light to dark with sliders for each layer. This feature lets you blend two layers based on the tonal range of each layer. It is the Blend If section we are interested in here. You will see three sections of blending options: General Blending, Advanced Blending, and Blend If. This will add subtle warm coloring to the area around the text.Ĭlick on the Blending Options at the top of the Styles list on the left. Keep the Distance low, but increase the Size to around 200 px. Then, set the Blend Mode to Color Burn and bump the Opacity up to 100%. Click on the color swatch and, this time, set the RGB numbers as you see here and click OK. Next, click on Drop Shadow on the left side of the dialog. (Note: Make sure the Preview checkbox is turned on near the top right of the dialog, so you can see how the changes look in your image as you make them.) Then, adjust the Size according to the size of your graphic. Click OK, then change the Blend Mode to Linear Burn and set the Opacity to 75%. In the Structure section at the top, click on the color swatch and, in the Color Picker, set the RGB numbers to R: 95, G: 31, B: 22, which is a nice dark brown. Now, click on the Add a Layer Style icon at the bottom of the Layers panel and choose Outer Glow. Press Return (PC: Enter) when you’re done to lock in your rotation. When it does, click-and-drag in the direction you want to rotate. To do this, press Command-T (PC: Ctrl-T) to go into Free Transform, then move your cursor outside the bounding box, and it will become a curved, two-headed arrow. Once there, I rotated it slightly so it wasn’t so symmetrical. Get the Move tool (V) from the Toolbox, and then drag-and-drop your logo into the main texture file (or copy-and-paste it). You can also use a color logo if you like (you will just have to adjust the Blend If settings we’ll be using in a moment). Notice that it’s just black-filled text and a graphic on a transparent layer. This will punch up the contrast and color just a little. Then, press Command-Shift-U (PC: Ctrl-Shift-U) to remove the color information from this duplicate layer, and change the layer’s blend mode to Soft Light. Make a duplicate of the Background layer by pressing Command-J (PC: Ctrl-J). ![]()
