How to use Adobe Photoshop to fit text to a shape, making it follow along the edge of a shape or fill a shape with text.
______________________________________________

This video shows you the different tools and techniques available to fit text inside or outside of a shape. This comprehensive video takes you step-by-step through the complete process from beginning images clear through to the final composite image. After the project video I answer some common questions about the techniques I used in this video. This training demo was recorded in Photoshop CS6 but the techniques used will work just as well in Photoshop CS5 through the latest Photoshop CC.

Creating Shape following Text in Photoshop is pretty straight forward but it does involve several specific steps.

1. You need an appropriate image with a strong sense of forground object and background. Use this as your base photograph in Photoshop.
2. Separate the forground image from the background so that you can fill the background with black if desired. This is easily done with Photoshop Path Tools.
3. Create a shape by using the Photoshop Path tool that follows the edge you want to conform the text to.
4. Convert the Photoshop Path to a Shape so that you can fill it with Text.
5. For the text in a face you need to first cut the image in half, leaving one half of the face then creating a shape using the Pen Tool that matches the shape of the half you are removing. You can then fill this half with Text.
6. There is actually a lot more to it so you should really watch the video. Lots of little details to make this work right.

This comprehensive video takes you step-by-step through the complete process from beginning images clear through to the final composite image. After the project video I answer some common questions about the techniques I used in this video. This training demo was recorded in Photoshop CS6 but the techniques used will work just as well in Photoshop CS5 through the latest Photoshop CC.

Creating Neon text is pretty straight forward and follows a few simple Photoshop steps.

1. You need an appropriate background. People expect to see Neon text on business walls and in windows. So putting the Neon text in a setting that people expect adds a lot to the effect.
2. Pick the correct typeface. Real Neon text signs are made up of bent glass tubes, so you need a font that is basically one width throughout, is script based, and doesn’t have any serifs.
3. Pick a bright Neon color for the text then use Photoshop Layer Styles to add Inner Glow and Outer Glow. Specific settings work best.
4. For added realism adjust the background to help with the Neon effect.
