Old Paint Alien

[RAHEN]

Description
Supa' glossy, supa' cool! This is the original transparent alien incarnation! This is one that you really need to use over some different backgrounds to get a feel for the power of the liquid crystal effect. The extra chromed border and ultra-polished transparent interior combine to make this action one you'll want to play again and again.
Instructions
Make sure to have your extra contours loaded, and just follow a couple simple prompts. Very easy, very fun!

Liquid Crystal Alien

Description
The original "Plastic Wrap" incorporates a thin, shiny metallic border around your text, filled by a layer of perfectly stretched plastic wrap!

Description
With a heavy industrial feel, this action produces a gleaming, yet worn metallic grate on your text. A bit difficult to describe, but that's why there are preview images! :-)

Description
Here's an action that makes an "Alphabits" type of an effect out of "water" and your text, placed on a tile floor. Oops! You have the option to change the color and saturation of the "water", so you can spill anything on the floor that you want! Also, there are stops that allow you to customize the amount of transparency that the text will contain. You'll want to look at this spill for a little while before you wipe it up!
Instructions
Just follow the instructions in the action itself which directs you to load in your extra contours, enter your own text, and then choose how much transparency to give the text via a couple of selection dialogs.
Requirements
Photoshop CS or higher.

Water Droplets

[RAHEN]

Description
Another metallic effect, but with a unique look! You end up with a shiny metal sheen that appears to have been hammered into this sheet of text. This appearance is enhanced by the lighting which strikes the text heavily at the top and diffuses to show more detail near the bottom. I hope this one leaves you shining!
Instructions
Loading the extra Photoshop contours is required, however instructions are given within the action. Other than that, you should be home free.
Requirements
Photoshop CS or higher.

Description
Spread the Christmas cheer with this festive effect! "Merry Christmas" gives your text a bright, smooth red center encased in a textured green border. For an added touch, a little snow is added! The action is left in layers for optimum customization, and also organized in a layer set for easy movement and incorporation into your project. Enjoy... Peace on earth... goodwill towards men...
Instructions
Follow the instructions to load in your extra contours and enter your own text. Otherwise, sit back and watch the magic happen.

Mossy Rock

[RAHEN]

Description
Built to mimic the original Mac OS X logo, this action gives text a dramatic blue effect. You will find that this action works best with large font sizes, and as such is an effect well suited for print. Although the recreation is not perfect, it is a close representation of the original Apple symbol.
Instructions
This suprisingly simple action only requires that you load in the extra set of Photoshop contours (instructions are included in the action), if you have not already done so.
Requirements
Photoshop CS or higher.
