PhotoFiltre Forum

Here's a simple effect:

Add text in a suitable font but click 'Transform to Selection' (I used VAG rounded font size 30)
Do Selection->Expand (here I chose a value of 4)
Do Edit->Stroke & Fill and apply a stroke effect (I chose medium grey thickness 1)
Choose Filter->Sylize->Contour 3D and use the default white and black, width 5 opacity 70

To add a nice background glow do Filter->Stylize->Progressive Contour and use a medium blue, width 8 and select 'Outside'.

Easy!

Here's another example

This effect is popular with my daughter too!

Very fine PaulR,

You can find also some tutos for text effects on the web site of Bill :

I did this example too :



Note that :
- dégradé means gradient
- gravure = engraving

I hadn't try with BumpMap plugin, but i think it would be useful too.
