I wanted to imitate the ancient imprint for the dialogue of the black and white manga, so I made this set of automatic actions.
Steps to make your own imitation of ancient printing fonts:
- Text should be circled or bold with looser stroke layouts
- Tap Auto Actions/Distress
- Use the Correct Line Width Tool to add thick and thin strokes
- The Alpha Domain Value in the Layer Properties panel fine-tunes the body stroke thickness
- After confirming that the strokes and antique effect are satisfied, click "Apply the previewed display color" in the layer properties.
- First enlarge the text by 125% and then shrink it by 80% so that the strokes are not too broken and mushy
Example: The target text size is 14pt, and it is reduced by 80% after making it with 17.5pt. - If you want to publish your work on the Internet, you can use "Auto Action"/grayscale anti-aliasing
我想仿製古印體用於黑白漫畫的對白，所以做了這組自動動作。
自製模仿古印字體的步驟：
- 文字選用筆畫布局較寬鬆的圓體字或黑體字
- 點選「自動動作」/仿舊
- 用「修正線寬工具」加粗過細的筆畫
- 圖層屬性面板的「阿爾法域值」可微調整體筆畫粗細
- 確認筆畫與仿古效果都滿意以後，圖層屬性點選「套用正在預覽的顯示顏色」
- 先把文字放大125%完成後再縮小80%，筆畫才不會過於破碎且糊成一團
例：目標文字大小是14pt，用17.5pt製作完縮小80% - 若作品欲發表於網路，可使用「自動動作」/轉灰階抗鋸齒
