    Write On Effect with Typed Text

    Posted by Ron Haas on February 2, 2010 at 1:51 am

    Hi,

    I need to be able to achieve the write on effect with a typed font and/or a client provided file with hand written text. I know how to do this using the Paint Stroke Tool, but not from an existing file or using typed fonts. My handwriting is, let’s say too inconsistent to rely on.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Ron

    This is very simple to achieve. use the white paint stroke and paint over your supplied handwritten .psd, then use a mask and drop a your paint stroke onto it. then use luminance setting to reveal your paint stroke. go to my website and see this movie. https://embryo.me.uk/wp/2008/03/02/growing-lines-tutorial-coming-soon/
