This is my second tutorial so....
Create a shadow for a Text in 10 simple Steps.
1. Make a new PS page (I chose the Default PhotoShop Size).

2. Then choose the 'horizontal type tool' and type down anything (I chose the font Arial Black as I think it is better to use, though you could choose your own font).

3. Afterwards, duplicate your font layer.

4. Then go to Edit>Free Transform and make the text opposite to your first layer, like below.

5. At the toolbar there should be a symbol like this it is called 'Warped Text', if there isn’t, then click on the type tool.

6. Click on the symbol and make the setting like below.

7. Then do then Same steps from 5-6 for your Original Text. But with different settings, like below.

8. If your duplicate text goes out of place then you might have to edit it. To edit your Duplicate Text go to Edit> Free Transform.

9. After just colour your duplicate layer different, I did mine grey.

10. At the end you should have something that looks like this.

nice tut, i dont want to sopil your fun but i usually just use drop shadow

[shadowX55]

yea....me too. u can get the same effect.

actually, you can't get the same effect with drop shadwo, because the shadow is "vertically flipped" and you can't do that with dropshadow. Another thing i thought i should point out is that it would looks better with a layer mask fading added to it. like this

Also save your images as JPEGs not BMPs
