How can I add this effect to my text in Photoshop?

[Ludwig Eldad]

Hey, thank you for taking a look at my problem/question! I would like to know, how to apply this effect (picture following) to texts in Photoshop. Is it done with certain filters, if so, which filters? Please be as detailed as possible, because I already tried to work with filters and it didn't look like the text in the picture. Thank you in advance 🙂

Are you talking about the letters being at different angles? I don't see anything that could be a filter.

I was referring to this "graining effect" which is in the whole picture but it doesn't seem to be the the normal graining filter of Photoshop.

Try this:

• New layer > fill with 50% gray
• Convert to smart object and set layer mode to luminosity
• Filter > Add Noise > Gaussian Distribution > Monochromatic
• If needed, Filter > Gaussian Blur > add a tiny amount

Adjust both filters as needed

Thank you already for your effort. I tried the steps you explained and here is the result... I think it doesn't look close to what I want though haha.

Create a duplicate layer,

Rasterize the type and rotate the letters the way you want them to look. Add another layer and create the oval make it the color you want. Make sure you put the oval layer under the text.

I hope this helps.

Thank you but I wasn't referring to that. I only want to know, how can I make a text look exactly like this with this "graining effect" like in the example picture. It's not about the oval, only about the little effect on the letters.

I am sorry, did you try to duplicate the layer and add a pattern to the duplicate layer? You can play with the opacity.

I am not sure if you are asking a genuine question, or fulfilling your witnessing quotia for today.

I am serious about the question. If I would want to spread the word of God, I think there would be more effective ways 😄

I would be very happy if someone could explain to me, how I could make a text look like this (with this kind of "grainy effect"). It gives the letters a vintage look. I already tried the noise filter, but it turned out to not be close to how it is in the picture below. Thanks in advance for your help!

Unfortunately, due to a bug in teh forum software, we can't view your screenshots full size to see the exact noise.

Try creating noise on layer (as described by Jane) and clipping it to the text then adjust the opacity and blend mode (I used dissolve). Also clip a curve and adjust the contrast as required.

Always view noise and grain at 100% zoom.

Zooming in on your image, it also appears to have signs of being "over jpeg'd". There seems to be damage close to the edge of the letters. If that's the look you are trying to duplicate:

• Open the jpeg > Save as > Re-save the jpeg, possibly at a lower quality, destroying more information
• Repeat until you get the look you are going for, continuing to destroy the image with each Save As > JPEG

Be sure to do it to a copy of the image, as you will not be able to remove the damage. JPEGs are lossy, meaning they lose information with each save. A Best Practice is to save in a non-lossy format such as PSD or TIFF, then save once to JPEG. Changes are made in the non-lossy version, then a new JPEG is saved.
