This tutorial is indended for those who want to make something indented into an image, like the current banner at the top was made with the same method.

 

Step 1: Create a new document of any size, or open a new one that you want to embed your text into.

Now on a new layer, type whatever text you want, this is what I used.

The thicker the font, the better, so pick a good font.

 

 

Step 2: Now we right click on the text layer and open the blending options panel.

Go to inner shadow and set the angle to 45, now go to drop shadow, click blending mode to normal, color to white, distance to 2, and size 2, and click ok.

 

 

If the highlighting is too strong, lower the opacity to suit your needs.

 

This is the final result from this tutorial.

 

 

Heres another result using the same method, remember to play with settings, its amazing what you can 'accidentally' do.

This method was totally found by accident and ive been using it in almost everything I make, it is a very useful method, but im sure theres other ways of doing it, this is only one of many.
