A few weeks ago, in my “3D Title” post I showed you how to create a 3D effect using the Halftone Filter in Photoshop Elements (PSE). Today I’m going to share another tip that will help you add interest to a title using the PSE Distort Wave Filter. In my “Stitching Realism” post back on August 13, 2024, I showed you how to use that filter to warp a shadow. Today I’m going to show you how to use that…
