Glow text effect

This Photoshop tutorial will teach you how to create a glow text effect. The outer glow and stroke blending options are needed for this tutorial.

Glow text effect

Step 1

Open a new Photoshop document with 640 x 480 dimensions.
Select the paint bucket tool and fill the background in a black colour. Then select the text tool and type your message on the stage. I have used Myriad pro font type with white colour, but you can use whatever font and colour you wish.




Step 2

Select Layer > Layer Style > Blending options. Check the outer glow checkbox and add the following settings.
For the structure: the blend mode is screen, the opacity is 100% and the colour is #D52603.
For the elements: the techniques: softer, the spread is 8% and the size is 7px.




Step 3

Now check the stroke checkbox and add the following settings.
For the structure: the size is 2, the position is center, the opacity is 100% and the colour is #851212.



**Depending on your size of your text, you may need to adjust the glow and stroke blending options.




You should now have a glow text effect.
