Create Text with Bevel and Emboss Style Using Photoshop

My friend has given me an example of the picture and asked me about how to make the text look like transparent in the picture just like picture that she showed to me. Although it is not exactly 100% same as the picture that she showed to me, but I think as long as the feel is there already good enough, more or less there are same.

Before I start to write down the steps, just take a look on this picture. This picture is snapped at Genting Highland in Kuala Lumpur, it seem like dinosaur which engraved on the stone. To me, it is an good art. OK, let get started how to create text with Bevel and Emboss Style as below.

1. Open an picture by clicking File > Open
2. Choose Horizontal Type Tool (T) and type your text on the picture.
3. Right Click the Text Layer that you have type just now, Choose Blending Option. (Layer Style dialog box will be displayed)
4. Tick Drop Shadow option (you can do any adjustment on the shadow based on your requirement)
5. Tick Bevel and Emboss, please refer to the following adjustment on the layer style (refer arrow), then click OK after finish.
