Creating Crystal Looking Text
Text effects are a lot of fun in PhotoShop, but the built-in effects and styles are somewhat limited and rather dated-looking. However, PhotoShop of course provides the tools to let your creativity run wild. This article will show how we can create text that looks like crystal or glass.
Server Intellect assists companies of all sizes with their hosting needs by offering fully configured server solutions coupled with proactive server management services. Server Intellect specializes in providing complete internet-ready server solutions backed by their expert 24/365 proactive support team.
We will start off with a pretty big document (640x480), and a font size of 150pt, with a relatively thick font. We chose bold Impact for this demonstration.
Once we have our text, we will right-click the layer and choose Blending Options (or double-click the layer). We are going to add the following: Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Outer Glow and Bevel and Emboss. Before that, though, we will change setting Fill Opacity on the first screen to 15% and check Blend Interior Effects as Group.
The Drop Shadow we will set as Opacity 60%, Distance 10, and Size 10.
Inner Shadow we will set as Opacity 80%, Distance 5, Choke 25 and Size 15.
Outer Glow we will set as Opacity 45%, Color as Light Gray or Off-White and Size 10.
Bevel and Emboss settings will look something like this:
After these settings are applied, we will have something that looks like this:
If you're looking for a really good web host, try Server Intellect - we found the setup procedure and control panel, very easy to adapt to and their IT team is awesome!
The really cool thing about this, too, is that it will take on the color and the pattern of the layer below it. Like so:
Using this as a guide, you can tweak the settings to provide lots of different results. Experimenting with PhotoShop is very much advised, as many many results are possible.
We used over 10 web hosting companies before we found Server Intellect. Their dedicated servers and add-ons were setup swiftly, in less than 24 hours. We were able to confirm our order over the phone. They respond to our inquiries within an hour. Server Intellect's customer support and assistance are the best we've ever experienced.
Guys, please take a look at Server Intellect for Windows Web Hosting. I'm very pleased. You will be too. Take a look and see for yourself!

I decided it was time to confront myself.That night at home,I took off all my clothes and had a long look at the woman in the mirror.She was androgynous.Take my face - without makeup,it was a cute young boy‘s face.My shoulder muscles,arms and hands were powerful and muscular from the crutches.I had no breasts; instead,there were two prominent scars on my chest.I had a sexy flat stomach,a bubble butt and a well-developed thigh from years of ski racing.My right leg ended in another long scar just above the knee.

I really thank to one who wrote this article. I have always been reading and writing texts like this in blogs. Also, I, as a daily writer, present my respects to everyone. I just watched videos like this in research in all areas.
I think people must first research before writing.
