    To emboss, you can do that in the layer styles for the text layer and, the transparency can be done by going into the layer settings of the text again, and there will be a slider for opacity, but that will make it transparent to the green so you will have to create multiple layers behind the text to make it transparent. I don’t know how to explain it in words, kind of hard :)

  • Mafiyoso

    How do you emboss the text. coz your logo looks slightly flat. Also how do you change the opacity in the text. If you look closely in the black text eg. Ps, you can see through it
    Kind Regards, Mafiyoso

    How can u turn a icon or image into a link

  • CitronTech

    It’s pretty simple: CS2 = oldest, CS3 = older, CS4 = newest so Adobe just arranged the versions of their programs with numbers :) So CS4 = newest, CS2 = oldest (from the list that you gave me) :-) Hope this helps!

  • contineus999hungry

    hey dude can you tell me whats the big defrance between cs2 cs3 cs4?

  • CitronTech

    You can save it like a format such as PNG, then, you can go to Google and you can find an online PNG to ICO converter and then you have an icon file :)

  • BLiIxJr

  • sternVFX

    have you tried it yet? i havent

  • CitronTech

    Yeah, I think I should have done that, it would have looked much better.

  • sternVFX

    I suggest cutting out the text from the background layer and then reducing the opacity of the text…

  • mayul

    Yea, Thats the effect I wanna get in text.

  • CitronTech

    Be sure you selected the proper layer in your Layers, it should be the new layer you created.

  • Bimmer335coupe

    When I go to blending options and try to click on overlay it is not possible overlay is grayed out????
