Yet another great text styles tutorial 

 

I have been making a lot of Photoshop text tutorials lately, I think this will be the last one in a while unless I get really inspired. But again I needed this text style for some work and I made a tutorial about it.

In this Photoshop tutorial you will see how to make a great colorful text in just a few steps.

First off we need to type in our text I found a nice looking font from the default fonts called "Forte" and typed in my text.

Now your text should look like this, this was actually what I needed for my work, but I took the tutorial a bit further and added some glossiness.

So hold down ctrl and click the text layer to load the selection, now make a new layer above the text layer.

Hello,

First let me thank you for providing this tutorial. This is very useful for the self learners. But This Otutor Blog tutoiral is not as clear as Gold text Tutorial. And in the end it is not clear, especially after selecting the text by using ctrl + text layer, I really dont know how to select the half of the text. BBecasue of this I couldnChr(34)t learn this tutorial completely. So I kindly request you, if you give some more illustrations with pictures it will be more useful to the new learners like me.

Once again thank you for all you efforts and good dead.

God Bless you and your team.

Best Regards,
Kumar
