Ah, sorry, I don't know anything about Photoshop. I use Paint Shop Pro.

How do you get a font to look like it is glowing on a page or just a little darker than its surroundings, yet be transparent. Like Arwen Webmaster has done for the heading on the website. If you know, or know of a good website that could tell me how, please let me know! Thank you! |

Write yer text Duplicate layer Rasterize it Filter>Gaussian Blur Play around with settings till you like it.. |

Well, I meant rather like Thenidiel's kitten banner with the text like that, but now that you mentioned it, I wanted to get that glowy effect too, Elfenwen. Thank you much for the link, and thank you for the instructions! I shall goof around with it and see what I come up with. |

I've done that, and it's looked close, but I figured out if you use soft light or overlay on the text it will achieve the desired effect. YAY FOR ME! Oh, and what did you mean by rasterize it? I couldn't figure that much out. I got it to look pretty much like that, but I'm wondering if that would just add the finishing touch. Thank you! (about the Josh banners) |

What she means by rasterize, is you make it into a normal layer instead of a text layer. What I do to rasterize it is try to put a random brush onto the text and then it will ask you if you want to rasterize the layer. ...I think, anyway... |
