Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
Over a year ago, I did a tutorial on an earlier version of Photoshop
showing how to put a face and name onto paper money.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to do it quicker
and better.
I provided a Photoshop file for you to download, so you can follow along.
Its link is located in the video's description or project files.
It includes this ten thousand dollar bill template
and a channel in which you can use to place your engraved portrait into.
As before,
I'll use the actor, Zach Galifianakis in the place of honor.
Open a photo of someone you'd like to place into the bill.
It can be color or black and white.
If your photo is in color,
desaturate it by pressing Ctrl + Shift + U on a PC
or Cmd + Shift + U on a Mac.
We need to make a selection around the head and shoulders so we can cut it
out from its background.
I covered how to do this in many of my other tutorials,
so choose the method that's the easiest and most effective for you.
Once you make the selection,
press Ctrl + J on a PC or Cmd + J on a Mac...
to cut and copy it from the background...
and place it onto its own layer.
Type in the name of the person.
Click on your new layer button to make a new layer.
We'll fill it with white...
and since white is the background color,
press Ctrl + Delete on a PC or Cmd + Delete on a Mac.
Click on your foreground color
and type in 50% for the Brightness. Then click, OK.
Now...
your foreground color is 50% gray.
To fill the layer with the foreground color, press Alt + Delete on a PC...
or Opt + Delete on a Mac.
We'll make the foreground and background colors...
default to black and white, respectively...
by clicking on this overlapping box icon
or by pressing "d" on your keyboard.
At the top,
go to Filter and Filter Gallery.
Open your Sketch folder
and choose, Halftone pattern.
Make the Size, 1...
the Contrast, 50...
and the Pattern Type,
Line.
Then, click OK.
Go back to Filter...
Distort and Wave.
Make the number of generators, 1...
the Wavelength, 159 and 160...
the Amplitude 20 and 48...
the Scale
100%...
the Type, Sine...
and Repeat Edge Pixels for the Undefined Areas.
Ctrl-click
or Cmd-click on the thumbnail of the person to make a selection of its
shape.
Click on your layer mask button to make a new layer mask next to the active layer.
Click on the thumbnail of the wavy lines
and change its Blend Mode to Overlay.
Make a copy of the layer
by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + J.
Click off the chain link of both layers.
This allows us to move or re-size the wavy lines and the layer masks
independently of the other.
Hide the original wavy line layer and press Ctrl or Cmd + T
to open your Transform tool.
Go to a corner
and when you see a double-curved, arrow,
press and hold, Shift
as you rotate the transform
90 degrees.
Press Ctrl or Cmd + Zero
to see the entire transform on your screen.
To expand it past the shoulders,
go to a corner,
and when you see a straight double-arrow...
press and hold, Shift + Alt on a PC
or Shift + Opt on a Mac
and drag it out.
Then, press Enter or Return.
Make the layer visible
an active.
Hide the top layer.
To make the wavy lines cover the bottom of the body,
open your Transform tool again
and drag it out.
Then, press Enter or Return.
Make the top layer visible
and fit the document on your screen.
Click off the eyeball of the white background to hide it.
Make a composite snapshot of your image
and place it on its own layer.
To do this,
first, make the top layer active
and then press Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E on a PC...
or Cmd + Shift + Opt + E on a Mac.
With your Move tool,
drag it to the tab of the money template.
Without releasing your mouse or pen,
drag it down onto the image and then, release.
Open your Channels panel
and Ctrl-click or Cmd-click on the inner frame thumbnail to make it
into a selection.
Open back up your Layers panel
and click on the layer mask button
to make a layer mask next to the portrait.
Click off the chain link
and make the head active.
To reduce its size,
open your Transform tool
and fit it onto your screen.
Reduce it to a size you like.
To reposition it, click inside the transform and move it.
Continue to re-size and position it until you're happy.
Then, press Enter or Return.
Next, we'll Colorize the head, so it matches the rest of the bill.
Fit it onto your screen
and click on the Adjustment Layer button.
Choose Hue Saturation.
Click on the clip-to-layer icon.
This restricts the adjustment layer to effect only the one layer beneath it.
Colorize it
and make the Hue, 95...
the Saturation, 8...
and the Lightness, -3.
The last steps will be to add the name onto the bottom banner.
Press, "z" to open your Zoom tool
and drag across the banner to zoom into it.
To reposition the image,
press and hold the Space bar as you move it.
Open your horizontal type tool and choose a font.
I'm using, Legal Tender.
You can download it from the link I provided in the video's description or
project files.
If you're not sure how to install fonts,
watch my tutorial on how to do this.
I provided that link, as well.
Make the Size, 11 points...
Smooth...
Center Alignment...
and black for the color.
Click below the center of the banner
and type in a name.
Click on the Text Warp button.
Make the style,
Horizontal...
and the Bend, 25%.
Then, click OK.
Click on your Move tool...
go to, View...
and make sure "Snap" is not checked.
If it is, simply click on it.
Center your text on the banner.
Reduce its opacity to 85%...
and fit it back onto your screen.
Have fun putting someone you know
onto paper money.

Thanks for watching!
