Electrifying text effects

Here is a tutorial on how to create a electrifying text effects in photoshop.

Start by creating your text and ctrl+click this layer to select all visible pixel, than on a new layer expand the selection by about 10-20 percents and fill it in with grey.

Use a MEDIAN filter to connect the letters together but not too much, just enough so that the letters are still legible.

Now add a layer effect with a metallic bevel effect. Now merge the text and the grey filled layer together.

Apply an ocean ripple filter, and a second layer on the panel with glowing edge filter, this will give it a electricity feeling.

Use Color Range to select the brightest area and on a new layer fill it with white. Hide the original layer.

Now apply a layer effect with outer glow with the color you want.

So I created my own set of shortcut list to print out, each grouped into smaller categories so that I can find the exact shortcut I want with one glimps. Learning shortcuts in Photoshop will speed up your work by at least 40%! ...ok ok I lied, I made that number up, but shortcut really speeds things up significantly, they will give you more time to learn and create instead of wasting it on finding the right tool on the menu, try them out.

Here is some of the more useful shortcuts in Photoshop that I use regularly. You will see a star* next to some of the shortcut names, that is because they are not part of the default set, you will have to go into the shortcut key menu to change them, but for the most part it stays the same. I hope you find my custome shortcuts useful and I encourage you to find your own set of shortucuts. Click here to download the file so you can upload them onto your Photoshop.
