· - New file: 900 x 900px. Black Background.
- add three text-layers: “The” “ULTIMATE” “Source”.
- Take a very bold font, that gives us a better look.
- “The” and “Source” should have a size of 35, “ULTIMATE” has a size of 55px.
- Move the 3 text-layers together (as seen on the picture below).
· 2
Merge these 3 layers. To do this select (in the layers-dialog) the text-layer thats on top of all the text-layers. Right-mouse-click and choose “Merge Down”. Repeat once.
Now the whole text should be on a single layer.
Move the Text to the very center of the picture. To do this you can either use the Alignement-Tool or just use guides. Go to Image / Guides / New Guide: Choose horizontal: 450px - then click OK, same again with a vertical guide. Move the text-layers “M” (from the “ultiMate”) to the point where the guides are crossing.
Go to View / Show guides (Deselect).
Now go to Layer / Layer to Image Size. Duplicate this layer. Now merge the layer thats above the Background-layer down with the Background-layer.
Name that text-layer “Source” and the Background-layer “Strahlen” (which is the german word for “rays”).
Click the Eye-Icon for the “Source”-layer in the layers-dialog to make it invisible. After this long step your layers should look like this:

For a blue shine take these values:
————————————
Shadow 0 | +30 | +40
Midtones: -70 | -35 | +30
Highlights:-85 | -25 | -50
For a gold shine:
———————————
Shadows 100 | +50 | -50
Midtones: +70 | -30 | -100
Highlights: +20 | 0 | -50
