Here's my attempt using my own Distressed Background, and playing around with the Outer Glow. The font is the same as I used for the Plastic effect ^_^

It's nice but once again some areas are a little hard to see because there so dark.

A good rule of thumb for the outer glow is to do the opposite of whatever value the majority of your background is...

if your BG is mostly dark, go for a light glow, and vice versa.

Also, with the second sig I posted, with the glowy BG, I tweaked the invisible text layer a bit with some brightness and contrast that allowed me to use the dark glow.

Well at points mine was near white and at others near black ^^

I have a method of fixing that issue :)

I should post it... but I'm burnt out on writing tutorials at the moment.

Ahh!!
Nice..
I was just fooling around with text and the invis thing, can't believe I didn't think of the glow part!! :wall:

I just got Photoshop CS2. I did the taffy pull and the invisible text to get this.

I had Danny's problem of the light part of the background covering up the text, so I did two layers, one with multiply shading and one with screen, they lie on top of each other and make it visible regardless of background.

Oo, Sexy.

No border though?

Damn, all the images are gone. In almost all of the tutorials. Someone help me pleeeease :crybaby:

I can do invisible text, it's easy. Look -

- see?

Sorry.
