3D Text

1. Create a new image in Photoshop, and fill the background any colour you like using the floodfill bucket.
2. On the left hand side, in the menu, there should be a text tool (it looks like a ‘T’). Click it, and click on your image, and write the text you want to look 3D.



3. Now on the menu on the right hand side of your screen, make sure you click the 'Layers' tab (circled in red below), then click your top layer (mine's called 'Star-Gi...'), hold your left mouse button down and press the 'Ctrl' button. When you let go, you should find your text becomes selected.



4. If you've done it right, your text should look like this:



5. Then go to Layer > Layer Style > Bevel and Emboss (at the top of the screen). Play around with the settings until you find something you like. There are 1000s of different possibilities! Then press 'Ok'. To deselect your image, press 'Ctrl' and 'D' together, and save your image :D
