Helen,
I followed the updated version of this tutorial. I liked the idea of using a Color Fill layer; it definitely added more editing flexibility.
Then, . . .
- Added a frame layer style by Jodi to the text. - Ran a Reflection action by Panos.
- Added the same frame layer style to the final image.

Sepiana - that's a perfect photo for that font - very beautiful result. That layer style is very nice, too.

Whitby North Yorkshire. This picture was free to use, as long as the address was left on it. Done in Elements 2 - my own way.  |

Good for you, whippet for finding your own way to add the text.....I can see bits of those houses in each letter...nice idea!

Glad you did tourerjim. Nice results on your sunset. Have to say that I think everyone did a better job than I did with my example! Way to go everyone!!! |

The main problem I have, is trying to find suitable fonts.
I couldn't see anything like the big bold ones others have used.

whippet,
I used the "Impact" font for my entry. Another bold font suitable for this kind of effect is "Arial Black".

To add to what Sepiana has already posted you can check for a font that might work by highlighting your text and then highlighting the name of the text in the options bar.....use the up and down keys on your keyboard to scroll through the available fonts.
You can also use the free transform tool (Command/Cntrl T) to adjust the size of your font.

Thank you for that Helen! I was actually disappointed in my creation, but wanted to give your CE a try. I have some other ideas, and hope I can give them a try before I leave town...

Fun starting image, whippet! If you wanted your letters to stand out some you could add a stroke, shadow, bevel etc. with layer styles.
