Most of the credit should go to Sandy Blair for pointing me in the right direction.

simple 01 Open a new Image 16 mil colors
I used Black back ground with white text.
Click on the A on the toolbar to open the text window.
Make sure the floating option is checked and type your text.
Click ok
Position text on your window. Do not deselect the text.


simple02 Hit the SHIFT+V keys on your keyboard to invert the selection.
(GO) Image-special effects-chisel

Invert the selection again.


simple 03 (GO) Image-normal filters-blur


simple 4 (GO) Colors-Colorize


simple 05 (GO) Colors-adjust-highlight/midtone/shadow

There you have it. I tried it with some other text and it works. I also tried different colors.


sample Note: You can use this effect to create a quick 'plastic' text. (lbc)
