General You may create a multitude of various very quick and easy text effects in photoshop using the it's "layer effects" and working with the various options. |
|
1. Opening an new file
(Ctrl-N). Open your file to the size you wish. I used 125 px* by 60 px, bold, 50 pt Arial Rounded MT. Create the text using the type tool and any foreground color. |

2. Applying Layer
Effects. After creating the text with the appropriate color and size select the layer > effects from the menu. For the image on the right "Inner shadow" was used with the default settings. Notice how the shadows effect the image; it appears cut into the white background. The image effect on the right was accomplished using Bevel and Emboss > style to Inner Bevel, depth > 3 and blur > 3. A drop show was added using the default settings. See if you figure out how to create the text image effect that was created on the right. Clue--You can apply an effect to individual layers and combine them. |
