Adobe Photoshop
Free Tutorials » Adobe Photoshop » Fresh Gloss
Create some fresh glossy text which easily stands out.
Step 1
Type out your word, and use the font "Danube". Size 72 and "Sharp" for smoothness and font colour #ff7505.
Step 2
Bring up the blending options for the text layer, use the below settings.
Step 3
Make a new layer. Hold CTRL and click on the text layer in the layer pallet (as shown below). Then go to "Select > Modify > Contract > 1" and press ok. You should now have a selection like the second picture.
Step 4
Select the gradient fill tool, "white > transparent" as shown in the image below. Drag from top to bottom.
Step 5
Set the blending mode to "Overlay". Set the opacity to around 70% (or change it until you like how it looks). Make a back panel graphic and play around with your text. My result is below.

im struggling with this on a mac, get stuck at step 3. I assume that instead of ctrl, CMD is used, but modify is greyed out under the select menu. Any ideas?
