Elements 15 - Fonts Effect

Question

Hi,I'm new to this program.  Is there a way to make a font 3D? Example:  https://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/retro-text/15.jpg (I only care about it "popping out," not the dots or the outline.)Thanks!

Here's another way:1. After you create your type layer, duplicate the layer.2. Change the color of the duplicated layer text to a slightly darker shade of color3. Move the duplicated layer below the original text layer4. Press the Ctrl+Alt (win)/Cmd-Option (mac) while using the arrows keys to extrude the type. In other words, keep the Ctrl+Alt keys pressed while clicking say the down arrow then the right arrow. Repeat till you have extruded the type to your liking.

One thing you can try is to add a drop shadow.

In my older PSE version this is under Layer Styles > Drop Shadows.

In the top example I used a Hard Edge style, in the bottom example a Soft Edge style.

Under Style Settings you specify the size and position of the shadow via the Shadow Distance and Lighting Angle settings.

You can also use the mouse to drag the shadow where you want it.

PSE15 might have other Drop Shadows besides the ones I have.
