Hello everyone, and thanks for stopping by!
In today’s blog post, I’m excited to share two creative Photoshop workflows that will take your skills—and your imagination—to the next level.
Ready to boost your creativity? Let’s dive in!

Creative Text

Open the image in Photoshop.

    In the Contextual Task Bar, click on “Select Subject” to select the main subject — in this case, the dancer.

      Press Command + J (Mac) or Ctrl + J (Windows) to create a separate layer with the selected dancer.

        Select the Text Tool and type “Dance”.I used the “8 Heavy” font.

          With the text layer selected, open Layer Style and add a Stroke effect to the text.

            Go to Edit > Transform > Warp.In the Options Bar, change the warp type to “Cylinder”.

              In the Layers panel Duplicate the text layer and drag the duplicated layer below the dancer layer.

                With the duplicated text layer selected, go to Edit > Transform > Warp again, and this time use the middle control point to drag the text upward for effect.

                  Use the Move Tool to align the two text layers properly.

                  By selecting both text layers together, you can move and reposition them as one group.

                    Creative Dress

                    Open the image in Photoshop.

                    Use the Object Selection Tool to select the bottom of the dress.

                    Go to Edit > Transform > Warp.

                    In the Options Bar, change the warp style to “Shell Lower”.

                    Using the bottom handle, adjust the warp to your liking.
