| This Photoshop tutorial will show you how to create a glow text effect. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| First of all make new Photoshop document, with a black background and then create some brown (7B4D2F) large (150 pt) thick text. I've used "BorisBlackBloxx" for this but any thick font, such as Arial Black, will do. |
 |
|
|
|
|
| Make a selection of the text, using the magic wand tool, and create a new layer below it. Expand (select > modify > expand) the selection by 2 pixels. Set the foreground color to orange (C65D29) and then use the paint bucket tool to fill the selection (image b). |
|
|
|
|
|
| Create another layer below the orange filled layer, set the foreground color to a dark brown (3E2B26). Expand the selection by a further 5 pixels and fill it on the new layer. |
|
| |
|
|
| Create another layer below the dark grown layer, expand the selection by 7 pixels and fill the new layer with a dark red color (783643) |
|
|
|
|
|
| Contract (select > modify contract) the selection by 5 pixels, feather (select > feather) it by 3 and then delete the area that's selected. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Make a selection of the original text, using the magic wand tool, and create a new layer above it. Contract the selection by 6 pixels and fill it with black. |
