Easy tutorial Agustin C. Barranco in showing the way that achieves an attractive glossy text effect with PhotoShop.
1 .- To achieve the effect of this text, we create a document for example 750x200px with black background with white letters and write our text.
2 .- We moved to the Channels palette and duplicate any channel. (Eg blue) Blue copy.
3 .- Apply Filter / Blur / Gaussian Blur (3 to 4 px.), Choose Image / Adjustments / Brightness / Contrast and apply Brightness: -19 Contrast: -40.
4 .- Double the Blue channel will copy and Blue copy 2, we apply the filter Others / Horizontal Offset: +1 Vertical: +1.
5.-display the menu screen / Calculate the values Source: 1 Channel: Blue copy Source: 2 Channel: Blue copy 2 Mergers: The difference we will create the alpha channel 1.
6.-We enforce Image / Adjustments / Auto Levels and moved to the layers palette where we will create a new layer and choose Selection / Load Selection Channel: Alpha 1. and if we set the foreground color white color with Alt + Del will apply this color to the selection (hide the text layer to see the effect).
7.-We can only duplicate this layer it under Gaussian Blur and apply a few 7px. (We can duplicate this layer as well).
8.-Finally we make a new layer above all and will the Gradient tool we apply the gradient one we like I chose the Blue, Red Yellow and change the blending mode to Overlay with the result that you see in the figure below.
I hope you have enjoyed the tutorial and to another.
