Digitizing text


1.) Create a New File. Go To File > New. Make it 400 X 150 pixels on a white background at 225 dpi.

2.) Press letter “D” on keyboard to set foreground color to black. Select the Text tool and type a few letters (I used Arial Black 48pt smooth.)

3.) Launch the Layer Style palette and go to Bevel and Emboss. 1st Color #00FFCC, 2nd Color #669966.

Follow all panels exactly now.

4.) Switch to Texture. Now locate the tile named Zebra. You will find it in the library named Patterns.

Go ahead and play with the scale slider to see just what this beast does!

5.) Switch to Drop Shadow.

Text is now completed.

6.) Save the “New Style”. Preview should now look similar.
