| 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. | ||||||||
 |
Set your background color to black and your foreground color to a light blue type color (I had Red = 192, Green = 192, Blue = 255). | ||||||||
 |
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. | ||||||||
 |
Center the text in your image and right-click to deselect.
Go to Image || 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 Image || Blur || Gaussian Blur and blur by 2. |
||||||||
 |
Again, duplicate the current layer. This time change the blend mode to "Difference".
Go again to Image || Blur || Gaussian Blur and blur by 2. |
||||||||
 |
Go to Colors || Brightness/Contrast:
|
||||||||
 |
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. | ||||||||
