#lyrics tutorial

1: Open a new document in your Photoshop in the size you want to make your edit. Mine is going to be 600x800px.

2: Choose a lyric, a poem, any text you want to make your edit and copy the selected part. (It can be as longer as you want). I chose a small lyric of Champagne Problems from Taylor Swift.

3: Open Google Docs and paste the lyric/poem/text. Do it as many times as you want (the text needs to be large to compose the full edit — you also need to put the text all together). When you're done, it's going to look like this:

4: Select the Horizontal Type Tool (or press "T") and dragging the mouse, select the whole area of the new document. Like this:

5: Open Google Drive one more time, copy the whole text and paste at the selected text area on Photoshop. It's going to look something similar to this:

5: Choose an old paper texture from the pack (or any other texture you want), copy the layer and paste on top of the document. Like this:

6: Select the "Linear Burn" blending mode.

And your edit it's gonna look like this:

7: Select the Brush Tool (or press "B"), choose a brush highlighter from the Highligher Brushes Pack and create a new layer. Choose a color (#f5dc05) and brush on top of the text you want to highlight. (To make it easier, you can press Shift while you brush, to make a straight line). Then, it's gonna look ike this:

8: Once again, use the "Linear Burn" but now to blend the brush layer. And it's done! Save your file in PNG for better quality.

This is my result:

EXTRA TIPS:

Use the sharp mode of text for better results.

If you want other textures, you can search for them at freeimages, rawpixel and deviantart.
