Glowing Text Effect

The two things which makes the psd file more attractive are :

1. The background 

2. The text

The lighting effects and all the additional charms comes next to that. 

If the background is so catchy and clean, then your work will be more captivating.

Second thing is the Text. And for the Text to look good, the style or the text effect should be good.

Here I am illustrating a simple, easy but elegant text effect.

Let's Start with that now.

Step 1 : Create a new document by Clicking Ctrl + N. The short keys can always make your work go 

easy.

Name your file and give values to the Width as 1920 Pixels, Height 1080 Pixels and resolution 72 as shown in the pic above. Here I named my file 

"Glowing Text Effect". Click OK. Let the Background color be Black and foreground color White.

Step 2 : With the type tool selected by clicking T, add the Text you want.

I have typed the Text "PHOTOSHOP".

Step 3 : With the text layer selected, click Ctrl. This is how we select the text alone from the layer.

And create a new layer by clicking Ctrl + Shift + N. This is Layer 1.

Select the Gradient tool, G and Apply Gradient to this new layer. You can use the colors you want.

I have selected the color Blue.

 Step 4 : Duplicate the above layer by clicking Ctrl + J. This is Layer 2. If you want you can remove

the text layer which lies just above the Background Layer.

Step 5 : Create a new layer. Layer 3.

Go to Filter - Render - Clouds. Be sure that your foreground color is white and background color is

black.

Change the Blending Mode of Layer 3 to "Color Dodge".

Step 6 : Select Layer 2.

Go to Edit - Transform - Scale. 

Give values to the Width and Height as 110% and 200% respectively.

Now Go to Filer - Blur - Gaussian Blur.

Give the Radius value to 55 Pixels. Click OK.

That's all. We reached with the Final Image now.
