I am curious how I could make the attached image have more of a 3-D look to it.

I guess I need to add my method of getting to this point. I used the text tool and took two letter O's on two seperate layers and used the free transform tool to turn them and add perspective. I did a mask layer on one of the layers to make them appear as if they are linked together. But they are still looking flat to me and just wanting to add a little depth and make them more 3-D.

What I did was select the image with the magic wand, inversed it, then deleted the white background.

Then, I copied the layers twice and poisitioned each one where I wanted them. From there I used the distort tool under the Edit > transform menu, and pulled the top left and right anchor points up and in to match the corners, and pulled the bottom anchor point corners in slightly to suggest a perspective. When you do this, there will be gaps where the distort tool pulled the image away.

From there I used the eyedropper tool to sample the colors, then used an airbrush-5px, with a hardness of 100% and filled in the gaps by hand. It was a very simple job.[/img]
