This is how you get the 3D look using channels.
Step 1
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/channels/ch1.gif
Create text on new layer 1. and rasterize - PC right click on name in layers pallette/Mac-Cmd Click >rasterize
Step 2
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/channels/ch2.gif
Make new layer 2. and using rectangular marquee tool make a box around the text.
Deselect - Cmd/Ctrl +D
Step 3
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/channels/ch3.gif
Fill the new box with white.
While layer 2 still active, Ctrl/Cmd click on layer 1 thumbnail.
Step 4
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/channels/ch4.gif
press del, should look like this
Step 5
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/channels/ch5.jpg
hide layer 1 and Ctrl/Cmd click on layer 2.
This is the image we are going to make 3d.
You could start at this point with any image as long as it is on a layer and filled with white.
Step 6

http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/channels/channels-pallete.gif
on the new channel button in the Channels Pallete. Alpha 1 will apper. fill your selection with white, it should resemble the image on the left.
Step 7
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/channels/ch7.jpg
Deselct and go to Filters>Blur>Gaussian blur. The higher you make the blur the more your image will be bevelled.
Click on the rgb channel at the to of the pallette.
Step 8

Go back to the layers pallete and select your image layer
Step 9
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/channels/ch9.gif
Here is where the magic happens. Filter>Render>Lighting effects.
Use the settings here or play around with your own.
Click on texture channel and load Alpha 1. I deselected the white it high for this example.
Click on the color picker to give your light some color. We used purple.
Step 10

Click ok and say "wow."
The finished result. I put a drop shadow and a blue gradient in the background for coolness sake.
