Text Blending, Text Reflection

heres a quick way to get a good effect with your text to make it blend nicedly


1. make your signature (dont put any text yet)
2. create a layer underneath your colour balance layer
3. type your text in the layer you just made.
4. now click the circle with hte f in the middle just underneath your layers
5. now pu these seettings.
drop shadow default
inner shadow default
outer glow if it makes it look better with your sig
bevel and embose size 2 or 3
and satin defualt.

now youre done. it should come out like this






now text reflection

1. create your sig with text
note: when doing text reflection it looks best with a glow or if its white


2. duplicate your text layer
3. move your duplicated layer underneath your text layer
4. click the f with the circle around it and put blending options at the top down to around 60.
5. youre done but if you want you can go edit>transform>skew and mess around with it and and make it look like its reflecting in a different direction


this is the result

2. create a layer underneath your colour balance layer

What's that mean?

Right now I have two layers, my background and my render.
