Neon-Type Text

[Sketched]

Get out Paint.Net

Make the backround Black

Then, make any text you want in White

Then New Layer

Now, in the new layer, paint over in any colors in the white text, so you can't see any of it.

Now make a Gaussian Blur about 50 radius, or just experiment.

Then select the layer, and make the layer, Darkened.

And when your done, your text should look something like this.

And now your done.

Your images are too big. Please read the rules:

I really like this, though I'm sure it would be better with another font. Good work all the same.

Another tutorial to add to my "to do" list so many tutorials, so little time.

Yes it's a nice tutorial - except that if the images are not resized very soon it's going to get closed

That would be a shame. But guidelines and rules should be followed. I hope the OP resizes, I don't have time to try this today.

I sadly have no idea how to edit this tutorial. And what size the pictures should be.

david.attwell linked to the tutorial guidelines - begin there by reading 1a.

To edit your post - click the EDIT button immediately under the first post. You will need to resize the images and then upload them again before installing the new links in the existing thread.

What Font is that?

For a true "neon" effect, I think you would've been done once you added the guassian blur. At that point it pretty much appeared like the neon lights were turned on (except maybe not quite so heavy a blur).

@Sketched: You've had time to fix the images, and you haven't.
