Smooth Stone Effect
Software : Photoshop 7.0
Level : Advance

Concept: We have used Adobe Photoshop to create smooth stone effect. This stone texture is a texture of a polished stone. We have used gray color for the base and some dark background to make the effect prominent. Stone texture can be used for backgrounds, presentations, web buttons or any kind of navigation layout. Try to experiment with colors and filters to get realistic output. Always choose thick font if you are applying it for text.

1. Open Photoshop 7.0. Create new file with 72 PPI and white background. Type the text and fill it with 35% gray from the Swatches.

2. Filter > Noise > Add Noise
Rasterize the text when asked for.
(Amount 16 - Gaussian - Monochromatic )

3. Layer > Layer Style > Bevel & Emboss
( Chisel Hard - depth 400 size 25 )
Select Drop Shadow under Bevel & Emboss styles

4. Decorate the effect by adding dark background.
