Step 2:

Rearrange them accordingly. Align the text properly and how you want to see the text. Then arrange the text layers as well. Arrange them in the way you want to see the effect. For example, here, the layer with “Popup” will be on top, then “Text”, and then “Effect”.

Step 3:

Double click on the top layer to open the layer style option. There, use the drop shadow option to apply the shadow as you want. You can use the setting as shown in the video or as you like. Depends on your style.

Step 4:

Copy the layer style by right clicking on the layer you just applied drop shadow to. Then paste this layer style on other layers. And VOILA!! You got a good looking popup text effect.
