Creating beveled text
From RealWorld Wiki
RealWorld Icon Editor has a simple (scripted) bevel filter. It bevels the image outline as defined by alpha channel or selection.
To create a beveled text, it is necessary to create selection shaped as the text. Then it is a simple matter of running the Bevel filter from Effect menu.
- Click Tool presets toolbar from View menu.
- Click Add custom preset (the big red button icon) from the toolbar that appeared in the previous step.
- In the Add custom preset window, check the Edit tool field and set it to SELECT_TEXT. It is also recommended to set the Name to something sensible, for example Select with Text.
- Click the Select with Text button that appeared in the toolbar after completing the previous step.
- Now you can draw text as selection - do it. (Increase font size, if you wish.)
- Run the Bevel filter.
- Press ESC to cancel the selection.
