STEP NINE: Grab the Move tool,

and reposition all the shape layers

closer to the original text shape,

leaving the same amount of space

between each one. Once reposi-

tioned, turn off the grid by going

to View>Show>Grid.

STEP 10: Let’s add a photo behind

the text. I used another image from

Pexel.com. You can click here to find

it. Just go to File>Place Embedded,

navigate to your image, and click

Place. Resize the image to fill the

document, and press Enter. Drag

the image layer below all the text

shapes in the Layers panel.

S T EP 11: Click the top shape layer

in the Layers panel, and then Shift-

click the bottom shape layer to

select all the text layers, and change

the blend mode to Multiply so they

all lose their white fill.

STEP 12: And finally, make the

complete NEW YEAR text shape

the active layer, click on the Add a

Layer Style icon (ƒx) at the bottom

of the Layers panel, and choose

Color Overlay. Set the Blend Mode

to Normal and the Opacity to 100%.

Click on the color swatch to open

the Color Picker and click on an

orange in the image to sample it.

Click OK to close the Color Picker,

and click OK again to apply the

layer style.

And there you have a cool text

effect! Play around with the words,

different strokes (wot choo talkin

bout willis?), and blend modes to

see what you can come up with.

Now let's try another text effect.
