Ok just for you

I like combo#4.. :blush:

Oh I see, thanks for clarifying!

I didn't say that you were implying that B&E should only be used for text, but that you were hinting that it only looks good in a certain way. You were showing him what 'good B&E looks like' after saying he did it wrong, and that when people don't do it right, it looks "horrid". I don't think there's a right and wrong for this because it depends on personal preference. But no it's not rude to share your opinion, I just think the manner in which you did was. You could have easily showed him the examples without all the coarseness. It's off-putting for people just getting into designing, and I thought someone who posted about wanting to help beginners would be more encouraging and less passive aggressive. Also: How are people supposed to practice and experiment when people act as if they committed a crime? I'm not trying to be rude about it, but you can see why I mentioned what I did.

Deceiver, I get that you have your own preferred techniques, but not everyone has the same tastes as you. Posting something as blunt as "please stop using bevel & emboss on everything" and then going on to say that you think most people that use B&E suck at it, doesn't help beginners at all and just comes off rude honestly. While the examples that you posted are nice as well, B&E is useful in a variety of styles and shouldn't be limited to one technique just because certain people are inclined towards it.. I think he did great, especially for someone just starting to use photoshop!

Those sound great! What is TAGging btw?

Those are some really cool effects. The background adds a lot of dimension too, I like it!!
