 |
|
Hi,
I've just acquired an image of an ancient book and I would like to place text on it but have it look like old worn ink, to match the ancient look of the book. How would I go about doing this in Photoshop? I can't find any decent tutorials.

Well I don't have a sample of the actual writing but this is the (a small part of the book) book I want the writing to go on. The writing needs to go on the label part. I want the writing to look like it has been there for a long time. So that it looks old and worn, faded etc. I'm guessing the quality of the writing/ink needs to marry up with the texture of the label/book. How would I go about doing that?

Again without seeing the look you are after its a shot in the dark.
I simply added the text (I took the text color from the darker binding)
typed in the text then lowered the opacity.

I know how to do that but it's got to be old and worn/faded, like the writing is hundreds of years old. Can you imagine what ink writing looks like when it's hundreds of years old?

Thanks. I'm going to see if there's a download version since I don't live in the US, and it would cost too much to ship to the UK.
