Plasma text

This tutorial will show you how to create cool text effect using Photoshop.

Step 1

Created for Photoshop 6.0 ++

Open a new image (for example 500 x 500 px) - with black background.

Create a new layer and write with orange the text.

Step 2

Create again a new layer and set the foreground colour to black and the background colour to white (or press "d").

Use the filter / render / clouds... .

After that use filter / sketch / chrome ...

with this recruiting:

detail = 4;

smoothmess = 6;

Set the 3. layer (chrome - layer) to colour dodge.



Step 3

Go to the layer 2 (!) and rasterize the layer (klick with right mousebuttom an the layer and then on rasterize the layer) .

After that duplicate the layer 3 time . (you should have now 4 text-layers, which are between the chrome - layer and the first layer )

Go to the layer 3 and use the filter / blur / motion blur ... .

with this recruiting:

angle = 0;

distance = 100;

So, go to the layer 4 and use again motion blur ... . But now with this recruiting:

angle = -45;

distance = 100;

Finally go to layer 5 and uset again motion blur ... . But now with other recruiting:

angle = 45;

distance = 100;

The result schould be like this.
