• Graphics TipsPhotoshop Tip #17 - Glowing Objects
    Step One Start with any background texture or color. Open a new layer, type some text on it and then save the selection (If you have a graphic draw a selection around th picture and save the selection).
    Step Two Hit CTRL+ALT+4 (This loads the saved selection). Then select EDIT / STROKE and enter a number like 4, click on the center button, and hit OK.
    Step Three Now select all (CTRL+A) and select FILTER / GLAUSSIAN BLUR and type in 3.
    Step Four Hit CTRL+ALT+4 (This loads the saved selection again) and fill it with a color or texture of your choice.
    Step Five To add a little, I applied Alien Skin's Inner Bevel Filter. There you have it! For info on this filter, goto alienskin.com
