Questions about this mockup
Can I use this text effect for client work?
Pixelbuddha sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
Do I need the same font?
The effect works with any font, but the look in the preview depends on the font the author used. If it's missing, Photoshop will ask you to replace it.
How do I change the text?
Text effects usually sit in a smart object. Double-click it, type your word, save, and the effect updates in the main file.
