There are a few different ways that you can go about burning text into wood in Photoshop. One way is to use the layer styles. Go to your text layer and double click on it. This will bring up the Layer Style window. Click on the word “Stroke” on the left hand side.

A stroke is basically a line that goes around the edge of your text. In the stroke options, choose a color for your stroke. I usually go with black, but you can choose whatever color you want. Make sure the position is set to “Outside” and the size is set to 10 px.

Another way to create a burnt wood effect is by using a texture. Create a new layer and place it underneath your text layer. Next, go to File > Place and select your wood texture file.

Once your texture is placed, change the blending mode to “Multiply”. This will make your wood texture show through your text.

PRO TIP: This tutorial is for experienced Photoshop users. If you are not comfortable with using Photoshop, please do not attempt to follow this tutorial. Burning text into wood is a very advanced technique and should only be attempted by those who are confident in their Photoshop skills.

You can also add a bit of grunge to your burnt wood text by using an brushes. Create a new layer and place it above your text layer.

Choose a dark color for your brush stroke and paint around the edges of your text. You can also use this brush layer to add any other details that you want.

These are just a few of the many ways that you can create a burnt wood effect in Photoshop. Experiment with different textures, colors, and brush strokes to create a look that is unique to you.

Conclusion:

There are many different ways that you can burn text into wood in Photoshop. You can use layer styles, textures, and brushes to create a unique look that is perfect for any project.
