therm Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Hey, I have tried all the available tutorials for glossy, shiny and glowing texts but none of them seem to be working. I am a noob on this matter and this might also be a big factor... Anyways what I need is a text looking exactly or very similar to the one visible on the attached picture. Could You guys help me on this one? I bet it's quite easy I just lack the experience to obtain the right effect. Thanks! UPDATE Nevermind just figured it out by myself Admins please delete this topic UPDATE Now it doesnt work anymore... 1 What I did was open a picture on which I want to place a text 2 copy layer 3 place text 4copy layer 5 click on the previous layer 6 add gausian blur But now blur applies to the whole picture instead of just text and it is not visible through layers Did I change something in the options maybe? Please help... Edited March 27, 2013 by therm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashwilko Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Welcome. In order to blur just your text, make sure that the text layer is the top one in the stack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Ensure the layer you want to blur is HIGHLIGHTED in the Layers Window Stack order is not the defining criteria for effects. The active layer focus is. Step 2 should be Add New Layer, not copy.
