Well, it might've been asked before, but I'm not sure of what to search it, in other words, I'm not sure of the right word, but I've got a few images, they have been edited in Photoshop (NOT by me).

With out the effect ^^

With the effect ^^

Notice that badged in kinda text?

How can I do that?

Are you just trying to recolor the background to match?

Or, are you talking about surrounding the text with an outline that makes the text look "sunken"?

If you're just trying to re-color it, the Conditional Hue/Saturation plugin might work.

OK, easy.

Choose a light color.

Choose the text tool.

Set your font and size.

Click on the canvas where you want the text to go. Make note of the EXACT coordinates that you clicked.

Type your text and finalize it.

Choose a darker color (but not black).

Click on the canvas 2 pixels up and 2 pixels to the left of your last click.

Type the exact same text and finalize it.

Choose black.

Click 1 pixel up and 1 pixel to the left of your original click.

Type the exact same text and finalize it.

Done.

But can there be a plug in that can do this?

Typing text three times isn't worth a plug-in IMO. This doesn't take much time :wink:

[edit] Actually Outline object does this if you use the angled feature.

But can someone please write a plug-in for this?
