Colorful Glow Text Effects
September 1st, 2009 by ART-D Posted in Adobe Photoshop, Designing, Text Effects
In this Photoshop tutorial, you will learn how to create a glowing text effects form a scratch.
Final Image Preview
Let’s create a new file (File>New) of 1920×1200px/72 dpi. Using the Paint Bucket Tool (G), give the new background layer black color.
On a new layer (Create new layer) we’ll apply a standard brush to represent a spot on the central part of the picture. The brush’s color is #007EC7
Select the next option for the layer containing the spot: Fitler>Distort>ZigZag
The layer’s parameters:
Fill 54%
Next we’ll choose the Rectangle Tool (U) to represent three white lines which must be turned over with Free Transform option.
Those three layers with the white lines must be combined in a group (press Ctrl button to mark out the lines’ layers and hold on the left mouse’s button while moving the marked layers on Create a new group selection).
Mark out the group now and then press CTRL+E. On the rasterized layer we’ll apply the next option: Fitler>Distort>Wave
On the same layer we need to apply also Filter>Blur>Gaussian blur
Set the next parameters for the layer by clicking on the same layer on the layers’ panel:
Blending mode-Overlay
Fill 44%
Blending Options>Drop Shadow
Blending Options>Outer Glow
Make a copy of the recently made layer and choose Free Transform option to turn over the copy the same way demonstrated on the picture.
Now we need to represent a new layer (Create new layer), applying here a standard brush to paint the new layer in two colors (on the top part we’ll choose the green color, on the bottom – the blue one) (Opacity 10%).

I agree with khalilzip…. What’s that font? In the screen shot is says “Aharoni”, but that’s a Hebrew font and that text is far from hebrew

This tutorial blows. I’ve done this - and checked, rechecked, and re-re-re-re checked the settings. The text looks very little like it does in the images shown. The “gloss” is completely abscent.
I learned a little, which is good - but I think it sucks that this is sold the way it is. This isn’t a tutorial that is exact by any measure.
….ok, if you were looking for a tutorial in how to be frustrated? This did the job. Congrats.
