How to make bloody text that remains editable, in Photo

[GarryP]

What with Halloween coming in short while, here’s a fairly short video showing you how to manipulate text into a bloody mess, while leaving it still editable as text. (Apologies for the numerous pauses where I had a 'brain freeze'.)

As shown towards the end of the video, you can use the same sort of technique to create green slime, or blue water (or some other liquid) by simply changing the colour of the text.

The result certainly isn’t good enough to use in high-end publications but it should be good enough for simple flyers and such like.
Try experimenting with some of the settings I used and see what you can come up with.

Note: Make sure you use a high DPI document, otherwise the result isn’t as good.

Useful. And nice steady selections in the video make it easy to understand what you're doing and follow. Appreciate the post.

Or for the splatter geeks a little more like this (on the basis of the Hobo-font):
