# ps-text-effects output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: 19 verified Photoshop text effect recipes with exact parameters: liquid drip/melting, chrome/metallic, neon glow, glass/frosted, fire/flame, ice/frozen, gold/luxury, holographic/iridescent, glitch, emboss/letterpress, outline/stroke, 3D extrude, watercolor, smoke, retro/vintage, gradient fill, lava/molten, liquid gaussian+wave+liquify, liquid bevel+emboss stacking. Includes wind direction logic, MCP tool chains, and common mistakes..
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “5.1 LIQUID DRIP / MELTING TEXT / 5.2 CHROME / METALLIC TEXT / 5.3 NEON GLOW TEXT” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “19 verified Photoshop text effect recipes with exact parameters: liquid drip/melting, chrome/metallic, neon glow, glass/frosted, fire/flame, ice/frozen, gold/luxury, holographic/iridescent, glitch, emboss/letterpress, outline/stroke, 3D extrude, watercolor, smoke, retro/vintage, gradient fill, lava/molten, liquid gaussian+wave+liquify, liquid bevel+emboss stacking. Includes wind direction logic, MCP tool chains, and common mistakes.”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “5.1 LIQUID DRIP / MELTING TEXT / 5.2 CHROME / METALLIC TEXT / 5.3 NEON GLOW TEXT” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
## Running Rules
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options.The source does not require a stable slash command. After installation, invoke the skill by name and describe the task.
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, write/modify files.
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “5.1 LIQUID DRIP / MELTING TEXT / 5.2 CHROME / METALLIC TEXT / 5.3 NEON GLOW TEXT”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

# ps-text-effects
## When to use
- 19 verified Photoshop text effect recipes with exact parameters: liquid drip/melting, chrome/metallic, neon glow, glas…
- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “5.1 LIQUID DRIP / MELTING TEXT / 5.2 CHROME / METALLIC TEXT / 5.3 NEON GLOW TEXT” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies.The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.

}§5 TEXT EFFECTS — 19 Verified Recipes
5.1 LIQUID DRIP / MELTING TEXT
Result: Flowing tendrils/streams dripping DOWNWARD from text bottom
CRITICAL DIRECTION LOGIC (verified by testing):
CORRECT: Rotate -90 CCW → apply_wind("left") x 5-7 → Rotate +90 CW back = DRIPS DOWN
WRONG: Rotate +90 CW → apply_wind("right") x 5 → Rotate -90 CCW back = DRIPS UPWhy: Rotate -90 CCW → text bottom faces RIGHT → Wind "from left" pushes pixels RIGHT (toward bottom) → Rotate +90 CW back → RIGHT streaks become DOWNWARD
CRITICAL: White text on BLACK background (not transparent) — SCREEN blend removes black
MCP Tool Chain:
1. duplicate_layer (preserve original text)
2. rasterize_layer
3. Create BLACK pixel layer → merge with text (white on black)
4. scale_layer 300% height from TOPCENTER (elongate before wind)
5. rotate_canvas(angle=-90)
6. apply_wind(method="wind", direction="left") x 5-7 times
7. rotate_canvas(angle=90)
8. apply_gaussian_blur(radius=2-3)
9. set_layer_properties(blend_mode="SCREEN", layer_opacity=90)
10. add_gradient_map_adjustment_layer (clipped — colorize)
11. add_outer_glow_layer_style (neon color glow)
12. add_layer_mask + fill_mask_with_gradient (hide top, show bottom)Common Mistakes:
- Rotating CW (+90) first → drips go UP
- Wind "from right" after CW rotation → drips go UP
- Using "blast" method → too messy/aggressive, layer goes off-canvas
- White on TRANSPARENT + SCREEN → colors invisible
- Wave amplitude too high (>40) → text destroyed
5.2 CHROME / METALLIC TEXT
Gradient Overlay: reflected, angle: 90
- stops: {0: (26,26,26)}, {25: (216,216,216)}, {50: (26,26,26)}, {75: (250,250,250)}, {100: (26,26,26)}
Bevel & Emboss: innerBevel, chiselHard, depth: 300, size: 5, angle: 120, altitude: 30
- highlight: SCREEN white 90%, shadow: MULTIPLY black 75%
5.3 NEON GLOW TEXT
Neon Color Palette:
| Color | RGB |
|---|---|
| Pink | (255, 17, 119) |
| Blue | (0, 212, 255) |
| Green | (57, 255, 20) |
| Red | (255, 7, 58) |
| Yellow | (255, 229, 0) |
| Cyan | (5, 217, 255) |

Layer Styles on text:
add_inner_glow_layer_style(blend_mode="NORMAL", opacity=100, color=NEON_COLOR, source="center", choke=0, size=8)add_outer_glow_layer_style(blend_mode="SCREEN", opacity=100, color=NEON_COLOR, spread=0, size=20)add_drop_shadow_layer_style(blend_mode="SCREEN", color=NEON_COLOR, opacity=100, distance=0, spread=0, size=60)- drop shadow with SCREEN + distance=0 = wide ambient glow
Multi-Layer Glow Stacking (for INTENSE glow):
- Duplicate text → fill_opacity=0, layer_opacity=20% → Gaussian Blur 15px → SCREEN
- Duplicate again → Gaussian Blur 40px → SCREEN 50%
- Duplicate again → Gaussian Blur 80px → SCREEN 30%
- Result: 4 layers creating photorealistic multi-radius glow
