hey guys,
now this may sound stupid to some of the pros out there, but i've been trying to figure this out for a while.

How can i get text along a wall or for example on the wall in this image (http://www.sxc.hu/pix/l/m/22292_2216.jpg) (on the left) side of the subway.
or even text so it looks like its lying on the floor.
I want the text on there so it looks realistic, and ive tried making each letter larger, then getting smaller to the vanishing point, but it doesnt seem to look realistic, any suggestions would help.
thx:doh:

First i'd use the the shear filter (Filter/Distort/Shear) to round the text

then i would use Distort (Edit/Transform/Distort) to create a perspective

then at last i would dublicate the background image, add a shit load of contrast, and set the layer effect to multiply and put it above the text layer, then delete everything around the text. Maybe play around with transparency a little

if you dont want the blur, the last step isnt all that necessary you can get away without it :P especially at your level :teehee:

Cone Graf, I did filter>distort>shear, and it doesn't round the text, all it seems to do it move it from one side to the other.

Then you didn't shear it enough

i sheard it as much as I could without making it go off the page.
