First I picked a picture of myself and made a new window ( file- new- 4 by 4). Used my text tool to make three different fonts ( each a different layer) & used my marquee tool around the text ( M). The I went to edit and define brush preset, then went back to my picture. Then i went to select - color range & midtones, I made a duplicate layer on the original photo ( Ctrl J). Then I named the layer midtones and I did the same for the shadows. Then went to edit, fill, and filled midtones with 50 % gray and shadows to black ( kept the perserve transparency checked). Then I right clicked on the shadows and clicked merge visible after I clicked the eyes off from my original photo layers. The I made a new layer, filled the background with white ( Ctrl Backspace). I went to my brush tool (B), then I went to window - brushes (F5) and brush tip shape. Spacing moves letters away from each other, Space Dynamics: angle jitter flips the letter around & size jitter makes words bigger. ( I used this for each brush). I made a layer mask on my text layer, selected all ( Ctrl A) on shadows layer and copied it ( Ctrl C). The I inverted my picture to a mask ( Ctrl I), Then I pressed fx and went to gradient overlay. I changed the color and changed the blend mode to screen. I had a problem understanding how to do it at first, so Ms. Minkle sat down with me and helped me with the first half of it. Once I was done I really didnt like the black and white version of it so that why I changed it to rainbow it looks better.
