silverhammer Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I hope that you can follow a tutorial without pictures! 1. Write your text on its own layer colored black. 2. Use at 0% tolerance with the flood mode set to "global" and select the empty space 3. Ctrl-I to invert your selection and make a new layer :AddNewLayer:. You should now have a text-shaped selection. 4. Make your gradient with whatever colors you like and then deselect 5. Change the blending mode of the gradient layer to "Screen" to soften up the edges 6. Ctrl-Shift-F to flatten and you're done! If you also want that faint border around the letters read on: 7. Don't flatten the image yet. Duplicate the original text layer :DuplicateLayer: 8. On the bottom text layer apply a Gaussian blur at 1px 9. Use to select the empty space again. This time tinker with the tolerance until the selection is almost right up against the letters (I used around 15%) 10. Ctrl-I to invert selection again. Fill :PaintBucketTool: the selection with black (make sure the tolerance is at 100%) 11. :Properties: Lower the opacity of that layer until you have a nice, soft outline. Here's my result: As with any tutorial, be sure to tinker with each step to get the effect that is right for you.
