How to Conform Text to a Surface Using a Displacement Map in Photoshop

Learn how to wrap your text and shape layers so that they conform to the surface of the layer underneath.

There's nothing that screams "fake" more than a dynamic background surface covered in boring, flat text. Giving your text or shape layer the same depth as the background it sits on will instantly improve the realism of your designs.
