1. Open up the image that you will be using, this is mine:
2. Now that your image is open and making sure that its the .psd so you can edit the text on it. In your layers menu, hold down CTRL and click on the text layer so that only the text is selected.
Once done right, your text should have all those dotted lines around it. If so, you got it right like so:
Once it is all selected, make sure to make a new layer.
3. Now that we have this done and making sure that we are working on our new layer, get out your paintbucket tool making sure that it is set to white or #FFFFFF. Simply fill in the text in white. Like so:
Your whole text should now be coloured in white.
4. Now, we are going to add in the shine and vut away some of the white. Get out your Rectangular Marquee Tool located here:
Once selested, drag it over part of the white text layer, about halfway or so. Once thats done, hit Delete. You should now have about half of the white text now like so:
5. This is the last tep to give it that "shine". Right click on the layer with the half white text on it and select "Blending Options". All you do is adjust the opacity so that it is faded and gives a nice look to it.
Now, your done!
