[xClawx 0]

Create a new image at 72dpi and RGB color. Place your text using a light grey

for your color. (Lighter colors work best for this effect.)

 

 

Now load the Layer 1 Transparency by clicking on Select >> Load Selection

Using the glass filter from Eyecandy, select the "Transparent Button"

preset and apply the filter

 

 

Create a new layer then use the Cutout filter from Eyecandy with the

settings: DIRECTION: 135, DISTANCE: 5, BLUR: 8, OPACITY:80 and black as the shadow color

 

 

Create a new layer then use the Cutout filter with the

settings: DIRECTION: 315, DISTANCE: 5, BLUR: 8, OPACITY:80 and white as the shadow color

 

 

Now return to Layer 1 and go to Image >> Adjust >> Hue/Saturation

to change the color. You can also use Color Balance to fine tune the color to your liking
