My name is Aaron Kromann here to teach you about Photoshop and I'm going to show you how to intertwine letters. Okay, so we have our canvas. I'm going to go select the text tool and I have it currently at mistral font, at 80 points, it's regular and I'm going to do a capital S and I'm going to change the color. I'm going to make it green. Okay, and hit the check mark and I'm going to move it around a little, kind of dead center. So I'm going to put down another letter. This one is going to be an F and I don't want it to be green. Let's make it on the opposite side of the spectrum, let's make it purple. And I'm going to use the move tool and I'm going to move it. So currently they're kind of overlapping but let's make them intertwine. So we're going to rasterize the text layers and I'm going to go to layer, rasterize, type. So now we can't edit these any more, these are just normal drawings. So I'm going to knock down the opacity a little, knock it down about 50 on both of them. Photoshop is a very powerful tool for artists. Now I'm going to show you a technique to make your project even better. And I'm not sure about the placement of these letters. I'm going to actually move this F a little bit more right there, that looks good. Well, let's see and there we go. So we have the hard round and we have the opacity at 100%. So the F is on top. So we are going to erase the F to make it kind of overlap and so, in fact, it might just be a little easier, let's get the S layer and let's go to load selection, select, load selection and channel, S transparency, okay and then let's go to the F layer and this way when you're erasing things we only erase what's around the S. So we're going to have the S up on here and now there we go, that's hitting command D or control D, let's go to full opacity and there we go. We have two letters intertwined. My name is Aaron Kromann and good luck with Photoshop.
