Applying the Eraser Tool (E) with the Opacity of 10-15%, try to clean out the picture’s edges and its bottom part.
Next insert the corresponding text using Qlassik Medium and Futura Light fonts.
Set the next demands for the text, there is marked with red color the sizes of the top and lowest text’s lines.
Set the gradient for the text, choosing the Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

for the gradient, dont use the gradient overlay option, take the gradient tool, and on a new layer, make your gradient, and put the layer in screen mode.
With this way to do, i sucess to finish the tutorial.

I recommend using “Color” layer style for the final color gradient layer when using more vibrant colors. :3

doesn’t get this step right:
“On this stage, we have to press Alt button while making a mouse click between the gradient’s layers and the layer containing the rays. In this case the layers should be put over.
After that, mark out both layers on the layers’ palette and press Ctrl+E to Merge Down.
Then make a copy of the new layer we’ve got (Ctrl+J) and stretch out the copy up to the lowest edge of the canvas, applying the Free Transform option.
This option may be selected, by pressing Ctrl+T.
Set the Blending mode-Screen for the stretched copy on the layers’ palette”
Got mac. Any help someone? =)
