    The Photoshop version does not matter as you just apply the settings, nothing else needed.

    Hi – I have a general question regarding test effects – what is the general rule for print – Do text effects print well or there are some guidelines to follow?
    Thanks

    Hello foreign friends,

    There is no word in the English language as ‘shinny’ . There is however ‘shiny’ pronounced ‘shy-knee’. It means to shine. Good-day.

    I could not get the shiny effect either but did have fun… missing the oily part 🙂
    Could be something to do with the layer styles settings I suppose.
