Today’s feature is a Photoshop tutorial on how you can create a smoke text effect. Tom of PSDFAN has updated his previous tutorial on creating Smokey Typography, where the effect is more realistic than before and uses an updated workflow of Photoshop’s non-destructive tools which you can edit any time.
