Step 7Adding Color (shading)
No one wants a picture made of bold, italicized, and underlined words. We need some shading.
Once your entire text matches the underlying image in bold/italics/underline/whathaveyou, you can remove the picture from beneath the text.
Using the Find function (Ctrl F) we are going to replace all the altered text. Under the "Replace" tab, click the "More" button to expand the window. With the curser in the "Find" field, click the "Format" button and choose "Font". When the Font box pops up, choose your font and what format you want to change (bold/italics/whatever). Hit ok.
With the curser in the "Replace" field, do the same thing, but choose the font you want to change it too: i.e. if I'm finding all times new roman bold, I'm going to change it to times new roman regular, black. If I'm finding the italics, I'm replacing with regular, light gray, and so on.
Hit replace all.
Do this for each format. Try your best to have the shade of gray you choose match that in your posterized picture. (you may want to keep your picture underneath during this step, so you can see how colors line up.)
However: when you do your lightest color, you can't change the font to white, as then you can't read it. With 4 layers, I made the darkest black, the next darkest 75% gray, the next 50%, and the lightest (supposedly white) 25%.
Also, start adding shading with your "regular" font, if you have one. Otherwise, as you change Bold to Regular, and then finally change all the "regulars", you'll change everything you've already done. Remember our friend Ctrl Z...
