Cool Water Text Effect in Photoshop

Here is a super-simple way to make a cool-looking water text effect in Photoshop! Let's get started.

First, Click File-New. The size can be any size you want, but if you're just testing out the tutorial, you can use what I'm using- 284x150.

Fill the background with a dark color. Black is good.

Add in text. You want to make the text color #00b4ff. When using this effect, I normally use the font Arial Rounded MT Bold.

Now we want to set the blending options for the text. Then we'll be done. Right-click on the text layer and click "Blending Options".

Here are the options we want:

Outer Glow:

Bevel and Emboss:

Satin:

And now, we have our finished product. Taa-daa!
