Here's how to create a title that looks like glass:
Open a photo that isn't too cluttered (File > Open). This works best on areas of graduated color like a sunset or where you have fewer colors and patterns like a photo of the beach or the sky.
Get the type tool and type your title. Click once on the page to accept it.
In the Layers palette, click on the original photo layer to select it.
Press Ctrl J (Mac: Cmd J) to duplicate the photo layer.
Click and drag the new photo layer above the type layer, which will cover up the type.
Choose Layer > Group with Previous. Nothing will appear to happen.
Click on the type layer in the Layers palette to select it and open the Effects palette.
Click on the Layer style icon, open the menu and select Bevels.
Double click on the Simple Emboss Bevel to apply it to the type. (Hold your cursor over a bevel to see its name.) When you apply the Bevel, your type will suddenly appear again.
If you want to adjust the bevel, double click on the effects icon that now appears on the type layer in the Layers palette.
When the Style Settings dialog box appears, make your adjustments, and click okay.
