Ink In Water/Smoke Effect (PART TWO)

(CONTINUATION)

After you drag it above, change the opacity to "60%" so you can still see your text, which will guide you.

Click the eraser.

Zoom in so you can erase the parts better. On the second picture is the size and brush I used for this eraser.

Erase the parts where you don't want the smoke covering it, as you can see, there are some parts that are like "over" the text, this is for the effect.

Put the opacity back to "100%", now you can see the smoke "over" the text, which can give the effect that the text is "inside" the smoke itself.

ADDITIONAL EFFECTS TO MAKE IT MORE REALISTIC:

Make the texts on "Overlay" mode (You can see it beside the opacity) then right click, "Blending Effects." + "Drop Shadow"

Edit "Spread" to "5%" and "Size" to "20p pixels"

Make sure that "Drop Shadow" is still in check (along with a little bit editing on the structure), Click "Inner Glow" and don't change anything.

This is how it now looks like. It's cool right?

You know what's cooler?
