tutorial // how to add a layered text effect in photoshop.

This tutorial requires a Photoshop and a basic knowledge of layers. If you'd like to prep your photo (you'll need an image with no background), you can follow this easy tutorial to master quick masks and then start from the beginning here. Back so soon? Awesome! Let's begin! This tutorial takes advantage of the power and versatility of Photoshop layers and gives your a great way to add a bit of flare and dimension to your photos! As you can see, the possibilities are endless! If you'd like to achieve a look closer to the photo set that inspired this tutorial (which can be found here), just substitute the original "no background" layer with the original image, background and all! Good luck, and I'd love to see your finished products! Lots of blog love, Bobbi
