Photoshop : Glass Text

Step 1

Start with a background. 72dpi and RGB mode.

Step 2

Add some text, here I used galant (www.1001freefonts.com)

Step 3

Add a layer style by clicking the little "f" at the bottom of the layers pallette.
Add a dropshadow and a bevel, copy the settings shown here.
Note 2 things here that really make the glass "pop"
1. Change the contour, this gives the reflected look.2. uncheck the global light and change the altitude to 70.

Step 4

Here is the result, pretty uninspiring huh?

Step 5

This step is where the magic happens!
In the styles palette, click on the Custom blending options.
Now pull the fill opacity all the way to 0 and the rabbit comes out of the hat!

Step 6

Here is our glass type.Download the psd

Step 7

Here I copied the layer style to the background layer to make that glass too.
Have fun with this and see you in the forum
