Another Photoshop trick with Fonts

Hi there! Today I’m going to write a tutorial on how to make shiny text. It’s not that difficult, so let’s get started.

Step1
We’ll begin this tutorial, by selecting the “Type Tool.” Select a bold style as the typeface at a size of about 50,and with the colour similar to my image. Type “shiny” set the blending mode to “Color Dodge”

Step 2
Now that you have your text, you can now right click on the text layer and select, “Blending Options”,then choose “Inner Shadow” and use settings at left. Do not click OK yet… still more to do

Step 3
Now click on “Stroke” and use my same settings.

Now click OK. You should now have the following:

Step 4

Now select the “Pen Tool” and draw a wavy effect like mine.

Step 5

Next, set the blending mode of the new shape layer to ‘Screen’, and turn the fill down to 75%, then go to the main menu and select “Layer” then “Create Clipping Mask”

Step6

Hey, we’re almost done! Now duplicate the text layer and move so it is under the first text layer and above the background.
Change its current style by right clicking the layer in the layers pallete and selecting “Clear Layer Style.” Now change the Blending Mode to “Color Dodge” and the color of the text to b2d7ed by double clicking the icon on the layer in the layers palette.

Next, go to the main menu and select “Filter” then “Blur” and lastly “Gaussian Blur” and use 8.8 pixels as the setting for the blur.

Okay, that’s it! Check out the final result!
