Morning Guys,

Today i woke up and while started to browse pixel2life.... suddenly I thought to write a tutorial.

So here we go.

This is the final image i have got.

Before beginning the tutorial...

I want to remind you�that the two shades of glow used here are professionally used in many ways. Reminding you about proxicide's MKvsSF-3. He used the both glow effects in his movies to make it more catchy. But here is a quick reference to those glow shades.

Final text

�So start with a 640 x 480 document with Transparent Background and click on OK.

Now Press D*. (D to make your foreground color�"Black" and Background color "white). Use Alt+Backspace to fill the foreground color to background. Now you have a black background.

Now what you see here is�giving 10 pixel blur to Rasterized text layer.

The color we see here is due to the color balance adjustment layer above the Rasterized text layer.
