Glowing Gel Text
In this tutorial, we will create a text effect with a gel and glowing effect. A simple 5 step tutorial!.
 |
Start off with a new document. For this tutorial, i created a new 500x300 document with white background. Now use the paint bucket tool to fill the background layer with BLACK. (or you can use another dark color) |
 |
Use the Type tool and type in your prefered text, use a bold font and set its size to fairly large, I used "Arial Bold", and font size 100px |
 |
Next, go to Layer » Flatten
Image |
 |
Now go to Filter » Artistic » Plastic Wrap Hightlight Strength: 5
|
 |
Now, to colorize this image, the simplest way is to go to Image » Adjustments » Hue/Saturation - check the "colorize" box, and adjust the Hue and Saturation sliders. The other way is to apply Image » Adjustments » Color Balance. You have more control over the colors here but slightly more difficult. |

Here is another result, with this
one, I set the highlight strength to 15 instead of 5. |
