Start by creating a new blank image or open the
image you wish to add the burnt-in text to. If you'd like to just do a
simple version of the technique without an image to apply it to, just fill
the background layer with whatever solid colour you like (preferably not an
extremely dark colour though).
2.Select the
Type Tool and choose the the Type Mask Tool from the Options bar at the
top of your screen (or click and hold on the Type icon and drag to the
right). Next click inside the image and type your text. Click the
check mark in the Options bar to finalize the text layer (or click OK if you're using an older version of Photoshop).
You should now see a selection of your text. Move it to the location on
the image where you want it to be burned into the surface.

3. Click
on the New Layer icon on the Layers Palette to add a new layer, and make
sure that the new layer is
the currently selected layer. Choose the color you want to use for the
burnt-in text (the example uses black).
Choose Edit-> Fill to fill the selection with your foreground colour
(ALT+Delete).

Without deselecting the text, click on the layer that contains
your main image (i.e. the background
layer). Using the keyboard's arrow keys, move the text's selection one
(1) pixel down and one (1) pixel to
the right markiezen . Immigration Attorney Brooklyn

Adjustments-> Brightness/Contrast, and move the Brightness Slider to
about 75% (you may want to choose a higher or lower setting depending on how
dark the surface of the image you're burning into is). Click OK.

6. Press
CTRL+D to deselect and see your finished work.
Tip: For different types of
"edges" on your burnt-in text, try playing with feathering the selection or
moving it a greater number of pixels. You
can make it appear to be set deeper into the surface.
