Electric Ice Text
We are going to create this electric ice text:
Step 1
Open a new RGB document (I made it 300*200px) and type your text in white on a black background. Rasterize the text layer.
Step 2
Select your text layer (CTRL + click on layer icon).
Inverse the selection (Shift + CTRL + I).
Fill the selection with black (Shift + F5).
Hit CTRL + D to deselect.
Now use the magic wand tool to select all letters of our text (hold down Shift).
Use Filter --> Blur --> Gaussian Blur with a radius of 3.
Step 3
Apply Filter --> Stylize --> Solarize
Apply Auto Levels (Shift + CTRL + L) to make it look better
It should look something like this now:
Hit CTRL + D to deselect.
Step 4
Use Filter --> Stylize --> Wind from the left.
Rotate Canvas bei 90 degree (Image --> Rotate Canvas) and do it again (CTRL - F)
Repeat until you applied wind in all 4 possible positions and the canvas is rotated back to normal position.
Now use Filter --> Stylize --> Glowing Edges with these settings:
It should look like this now:
Step 5
Last step
Hit CTRL-U to bring up the Hue / Saturation box and choose a color similar to this:
