Waffle Text Tutorial
Yes, it's another food based text! Before you begin, download this Zip file. Extract Waffle.pbv to your preset folder and open Waffle.bmp up in Paint Shop Pro.
1. Create a new image, 400x200 pixels, with a transparent background. Select a light biscuit colour as your foreground colour - for this tutorial, I used #EBD1A5.
2. Choose the Font tool. Select a chunky font - for this tutorial I used Bagel. Set the font colour to your foreground colour & make the size between 48 & 72 (it will depend on what you're writing & what font you are using) & set kerning to about 50. Make sure Antialias and Floating are selected. Type some text. Don't drop the selection!
Flood filled text 3. Select the Flood Fill tool. From Fill Style, choose Pattern, Blend Mode Normal, Paper Texture None, Match Mode None, Opacity 100%. On the second tab of the Tool Options palette, choose Waffel.bmp from the drop down menu under New Pattern Source. Flood Fill the selection. Press CTRL+D to drop the selection.
Selected Sqaures 4. Select the Magic Wand tool. Make Match Mode RGB Value, Tolerance 5, Feather 0 & Sample Merged un-ticked. Select one of the blocks of colour on the text. Go to Selections/Modify/Select Similar. This should select all the squares of the same colour.
5. Go to Image/Effects/Inner Bevel and apply the Metallic Preset. Press CTRL+D to drop the selection.
Bevelled text 6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 on the remaining squares.
7. Go to Image/Effects/Inner Bevel and choose the Waffle preset.
Your Waffle Text is complete!
