Doing Text Effects with Plugin Galaxy
 


 

Step 1: Open a new image with white background.

 

Step 2: Add any black text you like.

 

Step 3: Create a selection from the black text with magic wand tool or use the selection that was created when adding the text. Then contract the selection by a few pixels to leave a black border.

 

Step 4: Apply the Synthesizer plugin.

 

Step 5: Expand the text selection by the same pixel amount you contracted it before. To add some depth apply a standard Drop Shadow effect.

 

 
 

 

Variation 1: In Step 4 the Rainbow plugin was used.

 

Variation 2: In Step 4 the Breakfast plugin with activated Shadow check box was applied. After that the shadow effect was colored to brown to achieve a wood look.
