Neon Text
Hello and welcome @ XiaO's neon text tutorial, here's what we're going to make:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Open a new file, size 600 x 400 pixels with a white background.

2) Press D and go to Filter > Render > clouds

3) Press Ctrl + U and use following settings:

Hue: 0

Saturation: 50

Lightness: -50

4) Go to Filter > Texture > Texturizer and use following settings:



5) Enter a large text in a nice font like I did:



6) With the text layer selected, go to Layer > Rasterize > Layer

7) Press Shift + Ctrl + N (or Layer > New > Layer) to create a new layer, call it Neon.

With the layer you just made selected, hold down your Ctrl-key and click on the text layer.
Now you should have the text selected


9) Click your Rectangular Marquee Tool and right-click on the text, click Stroke and use following settings:


10) Press Ctrl+D to Deselect your text.

11) Right click your text-layer (in my case it's called 'NiteClub') and choose Delete Layer.
Now you should have something like this:


12) Right-click your Neon-layer and choose Blending Options. Use following settings:



Congratulations, you are finished!
End result:
