Step 7 Whilst keeping the text selection active, move to the layer you created when you duplicated the Background layer earlier.

We're doing embossing in this technique, but we have another article here that explains how to engrave. It's at this stage you could either go down an embossing or engraving route. Now the process differs depending on what you are doing embossing or engraving. This is just here as a precaution from here on, as all we needed it for really was a selection. Step 6 Press the Eye icon next to the thumbnail of the layer actually containing your writing (probably called Vector 1) to hide it for the time being. In the new window that opens enter a meaningful name for the selection and press ‘Save’ before continuing. Step 5 Use the Magic Wand to select your text, then open Selections>Load/Save Selection>Save Selection to Disk. Hold the Control key whilst grasping one of the nearer corners and drag the tag up and down to make one end bigger than the other, adding to the depth cues within the image. This should Shear your image to follow the lines of the image better, now you just need to add perspective. Hen, hold shift and drag the vertical you want to be nearest downwards (upwards if it is in the lower part of an image or the surface goes that way). Drag your writing down to where you want it and then drag out a corner until it is about the right size. Select the Picker tool (‘K’) and click on your writing. Step 4 If you’re working with a large image, chances are even on size 72 your writing will look tiny, so we need to transform it to not only remedy the size, but also to create perspective so that it will look like it is actually on the surface. Once you’ve written everything correctly press ‘Apply’ and it should appear on your image. Step 3 Left-click your image in the Text layer and a new box will appear for you to enter your word.

These settings depend entirely on what you are doing and the style you are after, so have a look and see what takes your fancy. Step 2 Select the text tool (it looks like a letter A on the toolbar) and set the size, font and style of your text in the toolbar. You do this by right-clicking the Background layer and selecting ‘duplicate’ and then right-clicking the new layer and selecting ‘Rename’. Step 1 Open your image and duplicate the Background layer, renaming it to ‘Text’.

The embossing effect is a similar process as engraving and start from the same point, changing direction towards the middle of the step by step sequence, so we're covering engraving in a different article here. Here I’ll demonstrate on a picture of a rusty bit of metal how you can emboss an object using any font (or custom symbol) of your choice while maintaining the original texture in the area that is altered.
