PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A STOCK PHOTO - i very much wish it wasn't as I think it's a super shot and I would love to have taken it.
I've set Get Pushed partners in the past a challenge of a text portrait (but only if they were experienced Photoshoppers) and each time the results were excellent. I've always wanted to try one of these but am restricted because I only have PSE11 which won't let me convert to smart objects. I did manage a displacement map several years ago but now for the life of me I can't remember how I achieved it.
So I played tonight with this stock picture and the lyrics from 'I'm Only Human' by Rag & Bone Man. It was a very useful exercise with text boxes, lots of layers and layer masking to bring out the eyes. I will endeavour to solve displacement maps and smart objects at a later date!
Looks great. As you said you will endeavour to solve displacement maps and smart objects at a later date would you like to do a displacement map for your Get Pushed challenge as I have never heard of that. If that doesn't suit let me know. Thanks.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond@la_photographic A displacement map is a filter which enables you to wrap text or an image around another image to make it appear 3D rather than flat - hope this helps!
