How To Create a Liquid Text Effect in Photoshop - Photoshop In this tutorial I’ll show you how to create a quick and easy liquid text effect in Photoshop. The effect is very customizable within the layer style and I’ll also show you how to distort the text to achieve a more liquid shape. Step 1 Create a new document. Mine is 1000 x 500 pixels at 72 dpi. Step 2 I’ve added a simple wood texture as a new layer. Create some text. Step 3 On the text layer reduce the ‘Fill’ opacity to 0%. Step 4 Now we’re going to add some layer styles. Lets start with some Inner shadow. Step 5 Next up is a subtle drop shadow. Step 6 The next Layer Style is the most important and is the heart of the whole look. The Bevel and Emboss layer style in it’s default state looks pretty dated and has been really over used in web graphics (think buttons!). Here are my basic setting for the Bevel and Emboss. This produces a basic specular highlight. Probably the two most important parameters are the Depth (set high) and the Altitude settings. At the moment the effect is a bit bland.
