Hey I was wondering if any one knows a good method of giving text a branded or burnt in look. :}

Hellooo:
Can you be specific as to what you'd like to brand.. or burn.. is it animal skin? a piece of wood?

Actually I am trying to write on toast. I am trying to make the letters look toasted on. [honesty]

Here, maybe this photo will help give you some ideas. [righton]

Gotta hand it to you Mark, I mean do you go out of your way for people or what! There's something slightly bizarre about that pic of the toast. [righton]

Did you just use the burn toal to make that toast look burnt?

*grins* Actually yinko, I think that's an actual picture of toast with letters burned into it. What I would do is put your text on a layer above the toast and play with text color and blend modes.

I found these nifty brushes at:
http://www.creativemac.com/2002/10_o...oad4021025.htm

and used the chalk brushes as they leave "spaces" and look more like burned toast effects. I then used Mark's burned toast pic and picked up the colors on it to use as colour selections for the burns and intersperced them. I also used another layer for the brushing. It was a 5 min job but it's a start for you perhaps?

Good luck, yinko
