How to Add an Embossed Effect to Text & Logos in Photoshop

Today we show you how to take any text, logos, or icons and give them a realistic embossed look in Photoshop! Learn how to recreate paper textures and apply them to the edges of an icon, and then add realistic depth and dimension, making the icon appear as though it was pressed into a piece of paper. This is a great way to mock up logos and designs to see them in real world environments.

Your a legend

[@ronalddingemans3989]

the emboss effect as seen on screen in photoshop is not so pronounced and clear anymore when viewing or printing the psd image afterwards in another app for instance in lightroom, why is that?

[@tahirnazir1773]

u R THE KING KING KING KING KING ...................................................................

[@kammanterbeats5890]

When I try to apply the splatter filter nothing changes on my smart object, other filters work such as stylize. Any tips?

[@waver5088]

Cool background

[@josephinevalencia7358]

thanks so much!!

[@syahrullah1770]

Hello, sir. Try making a hologram color logo tutorial video in Photoshop

[@phlearn]

hey there! check out this tutorial: phlearn.com/tutorial/hologram-effect-photoshop/

[@ronalddingemans3989]

nice tutorial, where can we find the .psd file, it's not in the download

[@ariifmaulana3946]

Thank you

[@chantscreen]

Brilliant! Possibly a dumb question but can the embossing effect be captured as an action to make it easy to use on other images? Or can the layer be copied to other photos?

[@uhligsu]

Thanks.

[@firlin.5978]

Does anyone know if I can do this on iPad Pro?

[@resfit.x]

Hey! Does this work with text?

[@phlearn]

Hey there! It should work. If you have time check out our Text and Graphics Learning Path phlearn.com/tutorial/graphics-and-text-learning-path/ It includes many great tutorials for text effects!

[@LunaGuinevereStudio]

Thank you for this tutorial! However, when I tried to paint it doesn't let me paint the object, it only paints the background :( I am trying to emboss a text / word, is the process different for texts? Thank you in advance!

[@cathy2471]

Super late but the same thing happened to me! Did you ever find a solution?

[@1SnarfyDude]

$4 toast? Where do you dine? 😳

[@RenzerDesigns07]

do you need a 15 mins tutorial for this...more easier than you explain xd

[@Coastalrat]

mmm..

[@nakleh]

Couldn’t you have done this without merging the fork/knife image with the white BG in the beginning? It seems like an unnecessary step.

[@sfrancfrancnrm8640]

Your videos can be done in eleven minutes, if at all to cross ten minutes barrier for commercial purpose. Kindly do not stretch it too long.

[@leatherface4133]

This channel has been slipping.. Hey, it’s nothing wrong with revisiting some of the older videos.

[@kemal54]

Gg ❤

[@ruthsmith742]

You don't reply to comments...I won't subscribe.

[@phlearn]

Hey Ruth! we always do our best to reply to comments. Let us know if you have any specific questions 🤗

[@nicoleamy7741]

Since we're doing emboss effect, I wonder if you would possibly create a tutorial using the STROKE EMBOSS. I'm not quite getting the results that I 'think' I want. I may just really bad with the stroke emboss or maybe I expect it to do more than it's actually capable of. And... Absolutely enjoy each and every one of your videos. Even if I already know the basic techniques, I still manage to pick up some really great stuff. Like the news channels, 'clear, concise, informative'! I Love it!
