Raised Type

Start with a new RGB image, white foreground, black
background. Then type some text. (Better choose wider font with rounded edges). If you are using Photoshop 4.0, you will need a selection of the channel. Go to Select>Load Selection>Layer x Transparency. And then Select>Save Selection. Now, just hit Ctrl-E to merge down the type layer (Cmd-E on Mac) |
 |
Bring up Channel Palette (Window/Palettes/Channels) and
click on channel #4. Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur with setting of 3.0 (maybe be more or less depending on font size). |
 |
Then switch to RGB channel and Select>Load
Selection... Now time to add nice gradient. Do not remove the selectionm, pick up
gradient tool and drag it over the letters from up to down (or backwards). Then using arrow keys move the selection 2 pixels left (press left arrow twice) and 2 pixels up (up arrow twice). Still, do not remove the selection, Image>Map>Invert. Now remove the selection. |
 |
Fine, colorize it. Image>Adjus>Hue/Saturation, click Colorize checkbox, decrease Saturation and move Hue to the color you like. |
