cute clear text

Tutorial

Click on thumbnailed images to enlarge

first, open your image and do whatever you need to do to edit it ;D

when you're ready, click on the text tool
|
v

type the text you want on your image. MAKE SURE IT IS BLACK, it has to be black for this effect to work.
(my font and size is blurred out for a reason, the size doesn't matter, it's whatever appeals to you)
|
v

now that you have your text, it's time to give it the outerglow effect. make sure your text layer is selected at the bottom right, and click the little "f" button, then click on outerglow from the list
|
v

click the little color block and change it to whatever you want, lighter colors show up better on darker pictures and vice versa. you can adjust the size and spread of the glow to whatever you pleases you. when you're done, click ok.
|
v

keep the text layer selected and click on the arrow next to the text that says, "normal", and select screen.

v

HERE'S THE FINAL EFFECT :D

I LOVE the way this comes out! This is an awesome tutorial. I've been using Photofiltre to do something similar to this, But this is WAY easier! Thanks!
