Create Your Own Stamper

1. Choose the Key T to activate your Type Tool (T).

2. Pick a Red color for the Foreground. Why RED? You'll gonna find the answer in just a minute. Type your word there, any word. LUNAS for example.

3. Create a New Layer. As I am big Photoshop fan, I really love their keyboard shortcuts, use this to get your New Layer >>> (Shift + Ctrl + Alt + N).

4. Pick Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) from the flying menu, then draw a selection around the area that you would like turn into your edges box.

5. On the Menu, select Select> Modify> Contract . Contract Selection box will appear, fill in the value of about 13px . Adjust the font size you in words Addons hull earlier. Then do not forget to press Del on your PC. Look what the purpose of all this?

6. Flatten Image, but before that, let the Background Layer in your Palette Layer unvisible . Click the eye icon on your Background Layer in the Layers Palette. Notice the picture before the flatten/merge down and afterwards.




OK.. writing steps have been completed, now we will try to write it like a real stamp.

1. Open a picture (the important is, choose a great picture with a great texture there in). Examples of images that you can use as in the image below...

so I choose this one...

I use one of them. Drag hull writing we have just created to the image of our choice. Enable Layer of our choice. REMEMBER, Layer images of our current selection!
Press Shift + Ctrl + U to change the selected images into Black & White (Desaturate).

2. Now switch Layer Lunas. You can match the text to resize it. Already? In the Layer palette, (active in full Layer) instead Blend Mode it from Normal into... Darken.

Alas! The options you can use other than the Darken, Color Burn, Darker Color, Multiply, Screen, Color Dodge, Linear Dodge, Overlay, Soft Light, Difference, Exclusion is good as well, and Color. Explore the suitability of the colors your self. I choose Darker Color as an experiment this time.

3. Merge Layers. Activate Magic Wand Tool (W) . Click on the red area. Now you understand why the red color that we use from the beginning been ?!?!?

4. Copy and Paste the selected areas on a new worksheet and .. voila! You DONE!

This is the worst language selected that I've ever use for this sort of blog post.. So Sorry for that!
