Duplicate the Text Layer ( Click on the Text Layer>Ctrl+J |or| Drag the Text Layer to the New Layer Icon.)

Place the Duplicated Layer below the Original one then Rasterize (Right Click>Rasterize) Name the layer as ‘Blurred Title’

Set it’s Blend Mode to Soft Light with the Opacity at 75%

This action hero isn’t messing around! I’ve often looked at film posters and wondered what kind of work goes into them. I grew up with some classic film posters such as the original Star Wars that were painted. However, modern ones can be captivating when they use the right blend of color, positioning, and shapes. On a more technical note, can I make posters using Photoshop elements or do I need Photoshop to make one as described here? Thanks!
