Animated Gradient Text, for cs3 Options

[xCUR1OUS]

So I found this tutorial-
http://www.webdesign.org/web/photoshop/ima...-text.1125.html

but I can't get it to work on pscs3.
I can't get the gradient to show only on the text.
(the tutorial says to press ctrl + g) but that doesn't do anything except make a new group. I can still see it everywhere and not just the text like it's supposed to.

Does anyone know how do get the gradient to show JUST in the text on pscs3?

Oh shit dude, I told you to add a Layer Mask instead of a Clipping Mask. Instead of adding a Layer Mask like I told you to do, go Alt+Ctrl+G & you should get something like this:




Also, can you tell me how you did the custom gradient. I couldn't get it lol.

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH <3
AHHH =)

Oh & uh. Well you just go to the gradient and double click the color strip thing at the top under near where the menu stuff is.
And you can basically customize whatever colors you want.
or you can search online for pre-made gradients. (I'd check out deviantart!)
