Every letter should be kept in its respective layer and then put them in their own layer, at the end it should look great. Several graphic design effects can be added to the Photoshop creation for instance lighting, shadows, etc.
One of the most attractive text effect of Photoshop is 'flaming meteor effect', here the designer can create textual effect where the text would be seen as falling from the sky. Lets see how this effect can be achieved and the steps to be followed. Initially the backdrop of the photoshop should be inserted with dark grey color. After that a separate layer has to be created and then the choice has to be in the desired shape. Text can be created and put on the layer with the help of Adobe Illustrator. After you can ask the designer to put extra effects like smoke trail, blazing effect, etc for added attraction. For this purpose yellow color can be used for blazing letters.
If you are planning to have photoshop with glass type of smoother headings than the letters here can give the desired translucent effect. Firstly the graphic designer produces needed photoshop background for the purpose of text. It is also possible to make use of ready made available effects and do the required modification in it. In the background the letters in demand are being typed. And at last insert drop shadow style to the text layer.
Designing opportunities are endless in Photoshop, it depends upon your website's requirements and budget as to what features to add and what not.
