So today I will be sharing a new kind of text effect using photoshop.
Get your photoshop ready!

Glow in the dark!
Glow in the Dark!
2. Open Photoshop, make your foreground color to white and background color
to black, now create a new document with measurements 1920 px x 1080 px
and the Background Contents option to Background Color.
3. Use the Horizontal Type Tool and click type in "TEXT" using Arial
as the font, Black as the font style and 300 pt as the font size.
4. Click on the image of the "T" in the layers tab while holding
down CTRL. You will notice that the text will be selected.
5. Now create a new layer by pressing CTRL + Shift + N.
6. Now select the gradient tool and
double click to where the colors are.
7. Now change the first color to a mild light blue color, type in the "#" box
"00c0ff" and the second color to a dark blue color as "0500d8"
8. Now use the gradient tool, start with the upper-left of the screen going to
the lower-right of the screen.
9. Now deselect the layer (CTRL + D) and duplicate
the new layer with the colored "TEXT" on it (CTRL + J). 		no image
10. Now delete the "Text Layer" and make new layer and place
that layer above the two "TEXT" layers. 		still no image
11. Now go to Filter > Render > Clouds.
12. Now change the blend mode of the new layer to color dodge.
13. Now select the copy of the "TEXT" layer and go to
Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur
and change the radius number to about 60-120.
It will look somewhat like this:
14. Now select the brush tool
and scroll down to see the downloaded brushes.
15. Now select the clouded layer and start
brushing with those downloaded brushes.

Congrats! You have finished it! Now go to the next one!!
