Final effect
This is indeed a very beautiful effect, I believe that most people and I like this crystal clear feeling. Today we are going to see how it was made. Even if you are a novice in Photoshop, do not worry, there is no complex difficult to understand the technology, as long as you read the words, it will be able to complete.
One of the biggest surprises of this tutorial is the use of layer styles. As you may have guessed, this translucent texture is implemented using a layer style, yes! Photoshop provides this once and for all, allowing you to enjoy the fun of it without limit after you've finished a job. Now let's take a look at the specific process together.
1, create a new 255x255 pixel document, select the Text tool, in the Font list to choose similar to the "Apple Garamond" font, if not, as far as possible with thicker, the corners of the sleek font to replace, this can get better results. In the Font size column input 450 pt, which is based on our page size to set, please select the font size according to your needs. Antialiasing method to smooth, text color selection rgb (0,163,226). Then enter the text you want on the background. (Figure 01)
2, below we begin to add the layer style to the text. Double-click the text layer to enter the layer style.
The first is the inner shadow, which can add a faint glow to the text, although it's not obvious, it doesn't matter, we'll step through the process later. The specific data is as follows: Mode, normal, RGB color (75,104,179), angle-90 degrees, not using global light, distance of 10 pixels, blocking 70%, size of 5 pixels, then your image will be like this. (Figure 02) (Do not click OK, this picture is just demonstration effect)
Next, add a little stereo effect to the text, and use the inner glow style to achieve it. Mixed mode for normal, opacity of 48%, the use of monochrome light-emitting color, RGB (8,62,83), the method is softer, the source for the edge, blocking for 24%, the size of 5 pixels, but also to determine the quality, range of 60%, jitter for 54%.
