Hello

Almost a year ago I created this border. Today I want to do this again with my text. But I don't know at all anymore how I created this. I tried several things, but I can't find it anymore. I hope there's someone here who can help me!



Thanks in advance!

It looks like a sharp inverted bevel on a difference layer.



Two separate actions: Chisel outer (carve in) and Pillow Emboss with a high half round contour. The mode effect, I haven't found it yet.

You can do that with LayerFx - Outer Glow

I don't know how you did it or what tool or filter you used, but you can recreate it with Layerfx. I took a color sample from your image and I used, three filter form Layerfx. Outer Glow Inner Glow and Bevel and Emboss.

I used print screen from my keyboard to snap a shot of the three filters





And the result

Thank you! That looks exactly like it!
