Neon Blinking Text Effect


Step 1


Create
a new document in Photoshop CS 2 with a black background. Type a text

Step 2


Select the layer which contains the text and apply the next effect using Layer > Layer Style > Outer Glow. Set the “Outer Glow” settings like in the next picture:

On the layer with the text apply the “Color Overlay Effect”. To do this select Layer > Layer Style > Color Overlay. Use the next settings to apply the effect:

Open the “Animation Window” (if that is not opened) using Window > Animation. In this window select Duplicate Current Frame:

Step 6


On the frame number two, in the Layers Tab, make the layer which contains the text invisible. Click on the “eye” like this:

Step 7


Export the picture as “.gif” file and you have a blinking neon text using the Photoshop CS 2 and ImageReady CS 2:
