Text with Odd Bevel |
||||
|
|
||||
| Now you will learn how to make odd text that looks slightly bevelled. | |||||
|
Open a new image, about 300x300 pixels, black background, 16 million colors. | ||||
|
Click on the New Layer icon in your layer palette to create a new layer for your text. | ||||
 |
Click on the Text tool in your tool palette and then into the image. Type out a word or something. I had: Arial Rounded, 28 pt, Bold, Floating Selection, Antialias checked. Styles: Stroke = None, Fill = Solid Color (Red = 192, Green = 192, Blue = 255). | ||||
 |
Center the text in your image and right-click to deselect.
Go to Effects || Blur || Gaussian Blur and blur by 2. |
||||
 |
Right-click on that layer in your layer palette and choose "Duplicate" from the pop-up menu.
Change the blend mode of the new layer to "Dogde". Go again to Effects || Blur || Gaussian Blur and blur by 2. |
||||
 |
Again, duplicate the current layer. This time change the blend mode to "Difference".
Go again to Effects || Blur || Gaussian Blur and blur by 2. |
||||
 |
Go to Colors || Brightness/Contrast: Brightness = -90 Contrast = 100 |
||||
 |
Some hints: You can play with Colors || Colorize to change your image even further. This one was made with: Hue = 55 Saturation = 255 |
||||
 |
Also try this tutorial with different colors, because every color will change the way this tutorial ends up. | ||||
