			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Cute Text Effect Tutorial</h2>
<p>You can see the result image here:</p>
<p><a href="/candy-text/01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="/candy-text/01.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<h3>1.</h3>
<p>First start by making a new document, now make a background that will suit the text.</p>
<p>I started by filling the background with <strong>#e98dd3</strong> then adding in <a href="/candy-text/scanline.gif">this</a> scanline pattern twice.</p>
<p>After adding in the scanline, lower the opacity and change the layer mode to either <strong>Soft Light</strong> or <strong>Overlay</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="/candy-text/02.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="/candy-text/02.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>I also added a few effects to the background layer. Firstly, merge the layers together then go and apply <strong>Filter &gt; Noise &gt; Add Noise</strong>, then <strong>Filter &gt; Render &gt; Lighting Effects</strong> with the light type set as <strong>Omni</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="/candy-text/03.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="/candy-text/03.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<h3>2.</h3>
<p>Now you need to write out your text. First get the <strong>Horizontal Type Tool</strong> and write out your text in a dark purple color (<strong>#b5406f</strong>).</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><a href="http://www.wix.com/amazingwebsites/editoreasy?utm_campaign=af_webdesigndev.com&experiment_id=af_webdesigndev.com1middlepostnewLP" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
<img src="http://www.webdesigndev.com/expressions_website3.gif" width="300" height="250" alt="create a free website" /></a></div><p><a href="/candy-text/04.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="/candy-text/04.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The font used in the above image is called <strong>VAGRounded BT</strong>, you can download it from <a href="/candy-text/vagron.zip">here</a>.</p>
<h3>3.</h3>
<p>So, after you&#8217;ve written out your text, right-click the text layer in the layer&#8217;s palette then go into the <strong>Blending Options</strong>, use the following options:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/candy-text/05.gif">Drop Shadow</a>The color used for this Drop Shadow is <strong>#ffffff</strong>.</li>
<li><a href="/candy-text/06.gif">Inner Shadow</a>The color used for this Inner Shadow is <strong>#ffffff</strong>, also, pay attention to the Contour under <strong>Quality</strong>.</li>
<li><a href="/candy-text/07.gif">Outer Glow</a>The color used for this Outer Glow is <strong>#fac1f3</strong>.</li>
<li><a href="/candy-text/08.gif">Bevel and Emboss</a>Pay attention to these settings and you&#8217;ll get the effect shown.</li>
<li><a href="/candy-text/09.gif">Bevel and Emboss &#8212; Contour</a>Default Contour settings.</li>
<li><a href="/candy-text/10.gif">Gradient Overlay</a>Black to White gradient, Soft Light, 40%.</li>
</ul>
<p>After applying all of those layer styles you should have text that looks like this:</p>
<p><a href="/candy-text/11.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="/candy-text/11.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<h3>4.</h3>
<p>Unless you want to apply some post-effects (like I did), you&#8217;re finished with this tutorial!</p>
<p>To finish the image off, I merged all the layers together, applied <strong>Filter &gt; Noise &gt; Add Noise</strong> then <strong>Filter &gt; Render &gt; Lighting Effects</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="/candy-text/01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="/candy-text/01.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>If you couldn&#8217;t seem to get something right, you can of course download the PSD file from <a href="/candy-text/psd.zip">here</a>.</p>
