1. Photoshop Tips - Turn Off Photoshop's Font Preview

One way to potentially improve Photoshop's performance is by turning this font preview off. To do that, go up to the Edit (Win) / Photoshop (Mac) menu at the top of the screen, choose Preferences, and then choose Type. There aren't many options in the Type section, but the one at the very bottom is Font Preview Size. You'll see a checkbox to the left of the option's name. Click inside the checkbox to enable or disable the font preview. With the checkbox visible, the font preview is enabled. With the checkbox not visible, the font preview is disabled:

9. Grunge and Distressed Font Designs Gallery

Some days ago I was browsing MyFonts.com catalog and noticed that there were beautifully designed images associated with each font family. It is nothing new, it's been done for a long time, but despite of that, there are not many font galleries around. This post will showcase some interesting design examples created by each typeface family designer. Take into consideration that these are commercial fonts, so no free downloads here, sorry. In the future I will try to post more image galleries. Hope you like this one.

12. Photoshop Xtreme Tutorials: Smooth Photoshop Font Style

In this tutorial you will learn how to photoshop your text to look like this: Simple as always, this kind of tutorial only takes a few moments of your time and has only 3 layers, including the background ;). Let's get started! Step 1. Create a new Photoshop Document (File->New). Set it to have 500-550 pixels Width and 150-200 pixels Height. Fill the background layer with �#b7b7b7� (Edit->Fill). Get the Type Tool and set the size of the font to 72 pt and use a bold-like font like �Cooper Black�. Write something down. Add the following layer styles (Layer->Layer Style): My result: Step 2. Ctrl/Command Click the Text Layer Icon in the Layer Pallet. Now draw a rectangle with the Rectangular Marque Tool holding alt. This will subtract from the total selection. Create a new layer. Fill the resulting selection with white, and make sure you have the new layer selected while filling (Edit->Fill). Set the Opacity to 15-25% (Layer->Layer Style->Blending Options). This is a nice outcome, and it's fast. The style applied here will be added in a big package of styles that will be released early next year. Optional Step 3. You might want to add some color to this font style. To do that just go to Layer->Layer Style->Color Overlay and chose what color you want. Almost all strong colors go well with this style, so play with it a bit!

13. Photoshop Xtreme Tutorials: Nyx Font Style Photoshop Tutorial

Hi. I know it's been a while since I haven't posted any new tutorials, but hey, here is one new tutorial for you. Your waiting was not in vain :). Today we will talk about this new text tutorial. We will finish it really fast, this is an example of how strong the layer styles can be. I guaranty you that it will take less than 5 minutes to finish, and the effect looks great! This text effect tutorial will work only on colored backgrounds, so be aware of this. You won't be able to get the same effect on white and black. Step 1. Create a new photoshop document. I'd suggest making it 800x400 or something similar to that. Keep a 2:1 ration anyway and fill it with a color of your choice. Note: Use a darker color, like dark blue/green/orange. Don't use a light color, since we want the text to stand out like a light glowing shape. Step 2. Start typing a title of some sort. It's not important the color that you use for your text. For the font, I used Nyala, a font that I use a lot. You can find it for free @ dafont. Step 3. Apply the following blending options. That is Layer->Layer Style->Blending Options. Step 4. Add the last minute effect, do whatever you like with the background. This depends on what you will use this font for. For the sake of this tutorial, I've added a border and a nice glass effect.

Pixel Fonts To The Rescue Graphic designers working on web projects often complain that when typefaces designed for print are set to lower sizes that they become harder to read and unattractive to the eye. Even using anti-aliasing (the smooth option in the Character Palette) is not enough to help these fonts look better on screen. The solution when this happens is to abandon the printer fonts altogether and to try using a Pixel font, which will produce a crisp, clean image at very small sizes. Pixel Fonts ? Limits & Restrictions Pixel fonts were created specifically for computers, with each pixel of the font designed on a grid that is exactly the same grid that is on your computer screen. Because of this Pixel fonts have certain limitations. They cannot be scaled and must be used at the sizes at which they were designed, or else at exact multiples. This is to prevent them from distorting. It is also important to never apply any anti-aliasing to them. Let's Pick A Pixel Font Some great pixel fonts can be found at Joe Gillespie's minifonts.com site. One of his font creations, Mini 7, is considered to be the most popular Pixel font in use on the web today, and it is one of my all-time favorites. Pixel Fonts In Action Pixel fonts are great for website photo captions, because you can get a lot of text into a small area, and it will still be very legible. (The screenshot below uses Mini 7). They are also great for website interfaces, especially navigation buttons. Pixel Font Troubleshooting Checklist Follow these guidelines (from minifonts.com) to avoid the most common problems: Pixel fonts should be set on a page with a 72 ppi resolution. Anti-aliasing (font smoothing) should be off. The type size should be the 'designed size' or multiple of it. You will find this size in your ReadMe file. All tracking and kerning should be set to zero and character widths to 100%. Leading (line spacing) can be specified as required. Always specify your font sizes in pixels, not points. A ten pixel font is not necessarily the same as a ten point one. Change your setup to work in pixels and set your document resolution to 72 ppi (pixels per inch). Do not use a centered paragraph style. The math required to center text can result in fractional spacing and vertical row...
