Looking to recreate this text effect:
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
make your text…Then rasterize the text layer. Then cntl+click the layer in the layer pallete. Goto selection>>modify>>contract…Contract it about 3 pixels…Then press delete. \
Now you text has a hole in it. Place what you want below it.
why dont you just put a stroke on it and lower the fill opacity…
Why don’t you just put a dropshadow on it and then lower the fill opacity? 
lol…or those will work…
ha, there are so many ways to do some things in photoshop
i’m not too sure, but i think it uses dropshadow and an overlay blending mode:

Something like that, except mine’s embossed and innerShadowed 
superb gentlemen, my thanks extended.
