Create a Realistic Looking Glass Text Effect.

In this tutorial, I will teach you how to make the Glass Text above.

Step1: Setting up work space.

Create a new image using the dimension  800 x 600. Set the background color to white, or you can import a texture like I did above. Create a new layer, Layer > New > Layer... (Shift+Ctrl+N).

Step2: Adding Text.

Click on the Type Tool and write something in your work area. I typed "Glass Text" using the Impact font. Your work area should look something like the image below.

Right click on the Text layer and click Blending Options and add the settings below.

Now click ok, to apply the settings.

That's it, hope it came out to what you expected.
