Fake a Proof Sign (For Dummies!)

I'm sure there are tutorials on here for this, but I've never seen it done this way.
This way takes just 3 minutes, is super simple, and provides more realistic results.

What You'll Need

• Photoshop
  
• Smartphone
  
• Writing Utensil
  
• White Paper
  
• Usable Photo
  

How It Works

• Using white paper, legibly write whatever it is you plan to put on your proof sign.
  
• Download a scanner app. IOS: iScanner / Android: CamScanner. There are plenty of others.
  
• Open the scanner app and follow the directions. They are extremely easy to follow.
  
• Make adjustments to the settings until they look most realistic and email yourself the result.
  
• Open the image that you want to use in PS. Edit away the text that's most likely there.
  To do this, select the existing text like this. Right click >> Fill >> Content Aware.
  
• After the original text is gone, open the "scan" that you emailed to yourself.
  
• Select the text in the "scan" that you want to use. Paste it onto the photo.
  
• Once it's pasted, adjust the layer settings to look like this and you're done!
  

Before / After

Anyone can do this! Let's hope that we stop seeing so many "HELP! PHOTOSHOP THIS!" threads!
Let me know what you think, show some love, etc! Keep this around so the board is less cluttered.

Disclaimer & Tips
Spoiler (Click to View) I used default settings, didn't edit anything. This is just a 3 minute tutorial for "dummies".
Various settings/tools can be used to make this look more realistic. You can fool around
with the opacity settings, sharpness, perspective, etc. You can even edit on the scan apps to
make the text look more realistic and less sharp/deep. PM for more help if needed!
If this tutorial is received well, I'll release more. Let me know what you'd like to see.
I was thinking of releasing an unsaturated site/method too since I quit eWhoring.

I like it. I can't remember what, but you can change the brush settings to size 3 I think it is, I think aspect ratio 70, and maybe hardness? down also.

That and the fact that there isn't a face in any of the photos. Face pictures with proof signs are more believable. They don't look like "selfies" either so you can't send them as a live which also adds an element of authenticity. Oh, and if you can do it yourself you'll be able to verify yourself on sites like MyGirlFund that require a face photo with a sign.

Good tut! Thanks, that is a new method for me (until now using just photoshop).
