Classic Photoshop Effects 14 - Carving
For this effect, I decided to carve some soap. Here is the original image:

I pulled this off of Google images. I decided to envision what would happen if I started making soap for a living (click on the image for full size):
The soap was etched by adding a inner shadow to the text, and stroking a white outline to the text layer. This gives the illusion of it being inset. I then removed the “fill” of the text, leaving only the background color.
Anybody want to buy some soap?
