Glowing Text Tutorial

[tacoX]

Step 1

Open a new document and fill with a black background, and set invisible by clicking the eye. Type some text like above.

Step 2

Duplicate your text layer (CTRL+J). Double click the layer and use the above outer glow settigns. Select a light blue of your choice.

Step 3

Still on your duplicated layer, use the above Inner Glow Settings.

Step 4

On your origional text layer, use the above outer glow settings. Your layer setting should look similar to this. Create a new layer and bring to front. Set the blending mode to color dodge and render clounds. Adjust the brightness/contrast to the above settings (I suggest you experiment).

Yes it can, although I picked a black background to highlight the glow much more.

Did you use a black background? because the black background really makes the difference.
