In this tutorial Ill just be showing you how to make a simple web 2.0 text effect credits go to Vectawr
Lets go!
1.
Simply add the text you want.
2.
Now select the text.
Make a new layer.
On the new layer with the text selection still intact create a gradient
with the color of the text
and a darker shade of that color.
3.
Now you will see that the gradient isn't very smooth on some sides.
Just do Gaussian Blur
you do anything between 2-10 I used 5.
Okay now duplicate
he text layer and move it up
so its in front of
the gradient layer and just use Brightness and Contrast
from the adjustments tab to make it pure white.
5.
Select the pure white text layer's text
6.
Now we are going to use the move Selection
tool to make the selection a little bit smaller and more inside the text
as you see me doing in the screen shot below.
7.
Once you've made the selection a little bit smaller you can press the delete button on your keyboard
or go Edit > Cut. Now just Gaussian blur
that pure white text layer it can be anywhere from 4-7 just see which one you like the most.
