Now hold the "Ctrl"/"Cmd" key in and click on the text layer. Now go to the main menu and click on "Select" then "Modify" and then "Contract." Create a new layer and using a soft tip brush, paint along the right side edges of the selection with white and black on the left edges. Deselect ("Ctrl" + "D" or "Cmd" + "D") and add some Gaussian Blur found in the Filter menu with a low setting. I used .8 as my setting.
