Title: Make a gel text effect using photoshop techniques. Description: In this photoshop tutorial you will learn how to create a gel text effect using photoshop techniques

Text filled with gel is very common these days. This tutorial covers that effect with simple steps so that even beginner can learn to create these kind of good looking effects. Start by typing text of your choice. I have typed "FM" with freely available font War Machine. As you can see, I have chosen black color as the font base and 100 point size.

Click on the type tool and type something in your work area. I typed GEL TEXT. Now right click on your gel layer and click on blending options as shown below.

Select the Text Tool and choose a "fat" font: here I used Arial Rounded Mt Bold and type your text. I made it 85px.

Now that you have your text, you can now right click on the text layer and select, "Blending Options...". Now click on "Stroke".

In this tutorial I will show you an easy text effect that will get you an image similar to this one

In this Photoshop text effects tutorial, we're going to learn how to use Layer Styles to easily create a gel text effect. The great thing is that you can have lots of fun playing around with the Layer Style settings to create your own custom gel text effect, or if you prefer, you can use the settings I'm using in the tutorial. When we're done creating the effect, we're going to save it as a preset style which we can then apply to other text instantly, and at the end, we'll see how to change the color of the effect, which may not be quite as straightforward as you think.

Ctrl-s to save.
