Adobe Photoshop Smokey Text: Adding Color

Video Transcript

"Alright, now we have our image up and running here. Let's add a little bit of color to it and give our text just a little more pop. So as we can see here we've got our smoky text going and it's looking really good in here. We've got nice shadows on it like this is encased in glass, which is what we want in here. So what we're going to do is we're actually going to go command D to de-select this. What we're going to do is we're just going to go ahead and we've got our layer selected like this, so what we're going to do is we're just going to hit, just hit command U and bring up our hue saturation. What we're going to do is we actually go ahead and click on colorize here so now we've got some color here. And you could actually put this to whatever color you feel would be necessary. I'm going to bring mine up to a green because I like the way the green looks. Just take our lightness up, our saturation up just a little bit. And we hit okay so hit command de-select on that. And there it is. There's our smoky text, our green, smoky text encased in glass like so. And of course if you wish, you can come out here and add an outline to this, a little background bit. Whatever your imagination comes up with. But this is how you do the initial part. So you know what? Play around with it. Have fun and definitely enjoy."
