%photoshop Create a Deep Grunge Text Effect%photoshop Create a Deep Grunge Text Effect%photoshop Create a Deep Grunge Text Effect
Open a document, with white background. Size 600 x 450 pixel.
Paste the texture 1 as the background.
Create a new layer.
From the Text tool, select the “Horizontal Type Mask”.Type the text you wish. Try to use some thick font
Here I have used Arial Black, 100pt. which is a thick rounded font.

Open the Texture 2, Select All region (Ctrl+A), copy it.
Now come back to the working canvas and “Paste Into” (Ctrl+Shift+V) the mask which we have typed. By using the Move tool (V) adjust the texture and position it where the cracks are visible and as well as the font is not broken too much.

    The last last step is somewhat confusing. If I lay texture3 on top of all the layer it turns out that I only get to see layer 3. ;)
    Is there a certain blending mode I have to choose?
