Letterpress Photoshop Layer Style & PSD

Download

Downloaded 0 times

An old one but a good one, the letterpress style never seems to truly die. Today’s freebie is a letterpress Photoshop layer style (.asl file) and PSD – whoop!

The style is ultra easy to use, type your text and then apply the style from the styles palette. That’s it. As usual if you find this resource useful enough to use in the wild, free free to show it off. Font used in the PSD: Ballpark

    On a mac and not sure how to install the font. Tried adding to fontbook and din’t work.

    Awesome resource though, really great site!!!

      It’s a layer style buddy, not a font… You need to have photoshop for using this.

  8. This is awesome. I tried dissecting your psd, and my question is actually about the lighting. How did you do the lighting effect. It doesn’t seem like a gradient to me. I can’t figure it out. You are amazing!

      If you’re referring to the radial light in the centre, just take a featured brush and paint a single white dot on a new layer. Set that layer to overlay and play with the opacity.

    I love this, thank you so much! I have a question though… this may be a dumb question, but I can’t change the color of the text….(I tried)… Is this file editable with Photoshop Elements?

    I know that with other psds, I haven’t been able to ungroup the sets with PSE, which is a bummer for me.

    Thanks again for your resources, I love this site and just bookmarked it! :-]

    Hi Orman,

    Your site/freebies/themes are great! Thanks a lot for the inspiration.

    I’m using CS5 and when I try to load and apply the style to text the settings differ from those in your example (e.g. the angle of the drop shadow is different, etc.). Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

    Thanks a lot,

      Hey bud, sounds like a global light thing. Have a look at the styles and see if the global light is set to 90 degree. You can alter the styles to use their own light source too
