"Alright. Now that we have our text up with some shadows on it, let's add a little more texture to this. If we come up here and look, let's double-click back on our sand layer, like so. What I'm going to do is, like, we've already got our drop shadow here, and it's...Of course, you can always come back through here and change these options whenever you want to. These are, you know, these are not permanent. These are always changeable. Let's go over here and add a little "Bevel and Emboss," like so. And if we click here, you can see that we've got a we've got some styles here. So, we're going to leave, let's see. Let's change this inner bevel. Let's change it to pillow emboss, like so. Make it really nice and soft. We're going to leave our technique at smooth, and let's take our depth...let's see. Our depth is at a hundred percent. Let's, you know, let's just move that down to one. Let's make this really slight--really, really slight, because you can take it all the way up. And as you can see, it's just going to get crazy. So let's take it back down to one. There we go. Direction up, of course. Let's leave our size, let's take our size, actually, up quite a bit. Let's go to forty-six. Make this huge, actually. Let's give it just a little bit more size here. Somewhere around twenty-one. That looks pretty good. Not too much. Just so we can see what we're doing here. We've got our soften. Let's take our soften up to sixteen. Looks pretty good. Take our shading angle. Let's put it at one-twenty. Since we got our other one coming at thirty, we'll put this one at one-twenty to kind of offset that. We'll also leave our altitude at thirty. And, let's click a new box here. Let's not do this one. Let's hit "Cancel" here. Let's come down here, and let's choose this one right here. There we go. Now we're seeing how this is coming together. So now we can take our size...let's delete this. Let's take this back down to one. There we go. Our...let's change this to screen. This is fine. Now we're change some--find some brown colors. Actually, we're going to use the brown colors that we've been using, like so. And, we're going to change our passie down to...let's hit "Ok" on that. Let's take our passie down to thirty, and let's leave our multiply up as it is. And let's select our background color, like so. Hit "Ok." And let's take our passie we're going to take our passie, on this one, down to thirty, as well. There we go. Now we've got a little bit of text effect going on here, not too much. But this will all clean itself up as we go along. So, we're going to stop here, and we'll pick this up in the next part."
