Photoshop freeze trick. - Akshay* - 10-17-2009

HEllo everyone this trick will show you how to put freeze like look on your text.


Folow step - by - step.



Create a New Document (Cmd-N). Make it 225 pixels x 100 pixels. Grayscale is faster than RGB. We'll switch to RGB later.
Select the Type Tool, and pick a heavy typeface. Type The Big[return]Freeze. Set the type to 90 Point high with a leading of 80. Check Anti-Alias, Center justified and Click OK (or hit [enter] not [return.] Same as in FreeHand.)



Cut the type to the clipboard [Cmd-X.]
Paste it back [Cmd-V] and it will be automagically centered. Scoot it up a few pixels (press the up arrow about five times) to leave room for the icicles.
