Default I thought this turned out pretty good.

My friend requested some text that said "Ghosts". I like how it turned out. I was originally going for a smoother look, but the bevel I used looked great when I changed the angle.

This is a really, really good start for a banner/BG for SM.

Nice text effects are always good.

PP: I was just making text.

MM: I didn't save as a style, but I still have the .psp, so I can if I want to.

It was all layer styles. How to do it:

Use Photoshop CS. Make text and go to Layer Styles.

First, add an Outer Glow. Keep Blend Mode at Normal. Change the color to black. Change Opacity to 91%. Change Spread to 24 and Size to 13. Turn Anti-aliasing on. Change Range to 60%

Add Bevel and Emboss. Change Technique to Chisel Hard. Change depth to 71%. Change Size to 16 and Soften to 0. Change angle to -27 and Altitude to 5. Change the Gloss Contour to Ring - Double, and make sure anti-aliasing is off. Make sure the rest are Screen, 75, Multiply, 75.

Add a Texture. Under the drop down menu, click the blue arrow and select Patterns. Select the one called Molecular. Change Scale to 234% and Depth to +91.

Now, go to Gradient Overlay. Keep Blend mode at Normal, and change the opacity to 100%. Now, make a new gradient. Make each end of the gradient black, and add the color "1986B8" in the middle. Keep the style Linear, the angle at 90, and scale at 100%.

You are done!

Woo, I just wrote my first tutorial! Yeaaaaaaah.

EDIT: This works best if you use the font I used. It is called Bedbug, you can get it at www.1001freefonts.com .

Hahaha. Good one, Qreepy.

I really don't have much to contibute, but I did want to point out that there is a *.psp extension. Paint Shop Pro uses it. I have Paint Shop Pro 8, and it works really well for images in its own right. One other thing about Paint Shop Pro... it can save images with several different extensions... even *.psd. I am unaware if Photoshop can do this, I never used it, sorry.

I've done really crappy custom stuff that I would be embarassed to post... either had to do for school, or make something for a friend... I'm not going to get into that. But I did do this edit today because my brother needed it and we couldn't find it anywhere online. Not bad for 5 minutes, even if it is a bit flawed.
