Doing Text Effects with Plugin Galaxy
|  | Step 1: Open a new image with white background.
|  | Step 2: Add any black text you like.
|  | Step 3: Create a selection from the black text with magic wand tool or use the selection that was created when adding the text. Then contract the selection by a few pixels to leave a black border.
|  | Step 4: Apply the Synthesizer plugin.
|  | Step 5: Expand the text selection by the same pixel amount you contracted it before. To add some depth apply a standard Drop Shadow effect.
|  | Variation 1: In Step 4 the Rainbow plugin was used.
|  | Variation 2: In Step 4 the Breakfast plugin with activated Shadow check box was applied. After that the shadow effect was colored to brown to achieve a wood look.
|  | Variation 3: The Noise Creator Effect of the Noiseee plugin was used in Step 4. Then the Magic Invert effect of the Coolorize plugin was applied.
|  | Variation 4: At first the Fusion plugin was applied to create a bevel effect. Then the Breakfast plugin was used to generate a shadow effect. And finally the Fusion plugin was applied again.
