Download text effects for Photoshop


 

Plug-in Wednesday: John Foresyth's Text Effects

As someone who uses Photoshop every day, be it for work or play, I greatly appreciate when something comes along and makes life easier. I often employ plug-ins and actions in my creative workflow in order to speed up the process. However I sometimes get frustrated at the lack of editiability that some plug-ins offer, I call these ‘cookie-cutter plugins’. I would hate for my images or designs to end up looking just like somebody else’s because we used the same software. That is why I am very particular about choosing plug-ins that offers both the benefit of speed and also the flexibility to remain creative.

John Forsythe’s text effects for photoshop are a great example of this. They are simple and fast to use but also allow you to take control, rather than locking you into the style after you have chosen it. You can modify the effect by changing settings in the layer styles. You can even edit text, fonts, size and scale after the effect has been applied. And because the effects are all listed in the style window inside of Photoshop, users can quickly and easily choose from the different options.

John has created over 1500 unique styles including

  • 244 Incredible Metal Effects
  • 180 Clear Glass Effects
  • 240 Colored Glass Effects
  • 200 Classic Wood Effects
  • 178 Rough Wood Effects
  • 164 Smooth Marble Effects
  • 154 Solid Stone Effects
  • 92 Genuine Leather Effects
  • 48 Glowing Gemstone Effects
  • 66 Pixel-Perfect Button Effects

 

 

Once installed in Photoshop each style is listed separately so that users can apply them to text, backgrounds, buttons and shapes at the click of a button.

Where to buy or try them

The entire set of styles is $39, in my opinion this is a very reasonable price for a collection of over 1500 styles. And if like me, you use Photoshop to create layouts and designs, this set can save you hours of work. John also offers a 30 day money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied.
