How to use the styles?
- Once downloaded unzip the files to a directory, it doesn’t matter where because we are going to manually import them into photoshop. So once downloaded and unzipped open photoshop.
- Next we have to prepare photoshop to import the styles and we can easily view them, to do this we want to open the style box and it can be achieved by clicking on the window tab and making sure that the ’styles’ option is ticked.
- Load up the styles by browsing for the downloaded files by following the commands below
- Once the styles are loaded your ready to go, create a text layer and apply one of the style to it by simply clicking on a style in the style box when your text is selected.
Please note that all styles where not created by myself a couple have been recieved through friends. If you liked this post why not subscribe to my rss feeds
