--This PS Layer Styles Set is for those of you who have asked "How did you make your text look like that?"

--And even though this set is called Plastic TEXT, you will see on the product example pages that you can use these layer styles on many other components for your scrapbook layouts as well as your web or print designs! (brushes, shapes, dingbats,etc.)

--I tried to give you a variety of colors and also a few gradients that might be nice for different seasons or holidays.

--These styles work best when your image is 300 dpi. They were created in PS CC 2020 but should work in just about any version of Photoshop. 

--Fat or large fonts will give the best results. You can also give them metallic borders like I did on several of the product example pages.

--ENJOY!

Usage Tips/Special Instructions

Quickie Re-Scaling Instructions: "How To Re-Scale/Adjust Layer Styles for Any Size Image in Photoshop"

1) To scale your layer effects go to (menu) Layer > Layer Style > Scale Effects. Or you can access this command from the Layers palette by right-clicking on the small layer effects symbol (looks like an f) on your layer, then choosing the Scale Effects command.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) When you choose Scale Effects, the dialog box "Scale Layer Effects" will appear. You can reduce the scale down as low as 1% to make the effects smaller, or increase the scale up to 1000% to make the effects larger. {Somewhere in between those settings usually looks best, however} 

This re-scales every effect used in the Layer Style at once...OR you can just remove/add a shadow, add a stroke or inner bevel, change the pattern scale size, etc. *Checking the "Preview" box will allow you to see as you're adjusting.* 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) So the next time you download some layer styles and find they don't look quite the same on your own images as they did in the examples, try scaling the effects and see if it makes a difference.
