With the B&W layer selected you need to then desatrate the image by going to the Image tab > Adjustments > Desaturate. Then you should again go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and change the brightness to -34, and the contrast to 60. You should then duplicate this layer again and call it Map.

You will then need to click the text tool and drag a box over the whole image. I have used a large speech to fill my box over the face. If you are struggling to get the text to fit you can go to Window > Paragraph and change the capitalization of the text (looks like "TT") and change the position and spacing of the text. Bare in mind the text bust be readable and fill the box! Once the box is full you need to select the text box and go to Filter > Distort > Displace. This will load a box for you to select the previously saved FaceDisplacement.PSD and press ok.]]> 2019-04-15 14:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/connorhotson/yurprtbt9ou9/wish/351667754 STEP 4 - Creating the text portrait connorhotson https://padlet.com/connorhotson/yurprtbt9ou9/wish/351672810 For the final part of creating this image you need to click the text layer and click the eye to remove its visibility.

Then you need to go to File > New and call this document TextFace and click OK. when this loads go to Edit > Paste.
