Photoshop Xtreme Text Effect

By agilius on | From photoshopxtremetutorials.blogspot.com

In this tutorial you will learn how to create the text effect shown in the picture above. This tutorial is extremely easy, only 3 layers are used (including the background layer) . Fast and easy steps, nice and smooth outcome, that’s the way I like it!

We will walk through 2 simple steps.

1) Making the text layer;
2) Making the reflection layer ;

Lets get started!

Step 1.

Create a new Photoshop document of 400x400 pixels. Fill the background in black by pressing Command/Ctrl+I while the background layer is selected. Grab the text tool, set the size of the font to 100pt (going to the toolbar just below the application menu) and write a word like “Xtreme” using “#60bf06” or another color similar to this one.
Now let’s add the following effects ( Layer>Layer Style and: )

My outcome so far is this:

Step 2.

Duplicate the text layer (Layer>Duplicate). Create a new layer on top of this duplicate. Select the two layers (the new blank layer and the duplicate layer) and merge them.

Flip the resulting layer vertically and move it (using the Move Tool) down.

Now the image should be like this:

The only thing that remains now is to mask the top layer and fill the mask with the black and white gradient.
