Final Image Preview

This is Photoshop text style that we’ll create on this tutorial, You can view the final image preview below or a larger version here.

Step 1

First, we need a good background image for our text. And I’ll use the wood texture image I created in tutorial tricks to make realistic wood texture using Photoshop. We begin by typing the text. Notice, we will create a Photoshop style here, so you can use any font you wish.

Step 2

Now we will start using the Layer Style. Double-clicks the text layer to bring up the layer style window. On the first page of the layer style window, change the Fill Opacity to 0%.

Step 3

Now add Inner Shadow Style to the text.

Step 4

Layer style that we use next is Bevel and Emboss. Screenshot below will provide information on how the settings I use here.

Step 5

The last step we will give Color Overlay on the text layer. Set Color Overlay like the picture below and press OK when finished.
