1 Create a new document and type any word in the center. Try to use a font that resembles army text, I used Times set at 120 points with Faux Bold checked.
2 Render the type layer by right clicking on the T to the right of the layer and choosing Render Layer from the menu.
Quick Tip!
If you have a graphics tablet with a pressure sensitive pen, you may want to take advantage of the Stylus options available in a lot of the paint tools' option palettes. Checking these boxes allows you to paint more realistically as it reacts to the pressure you apply on the tablet with your pen.
3 Select the Airbrush () tool from the toolbar and set the painting mode to Dissolve at 40% pressure. Slowly stroke the sides of the letters with varying amounts to add a "fading out" look."> Of course the example to the left is just to show you how to this done, I don't expect you to be able to perform this task that fast. Just take it slow and apply this effect over the entire word in the same way.
4 Once you've airbrushed your text you could try and make you text look more realistic with on of the following methods:
1 ) Add a Noise filter, Filter>Noise>Add Noise
2 ) Stroke the text with a dark gray color, Edit>Stroke
As you can see the text looks well went placed in front of combat material. You can also use this method for creating "beat up" or rusty text, it works great all around!
The text to the left had a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer added to it to change it's coloring for temporary use with the background.
