In this short tutorial i will show you how to create shining text effect in adobe photoshop with simple background, i hope you will learn something new from this tutorial.

here is my final Result of this text effect:

Step 1

Create a new document, use the size you want, it doesn’t matter, (I have used 500×300) and fill it with dark gray color, #222222

Step 2

Now create new layer and name it “Text”  place your text in this layer,

Step 3

right click on this layer now and choose blending options > Gradient overlay and use colors setting which are given below,

Step4

Duplicate this Layer and name it “Dupliacted Text”

now choose “Dupliacted Text” layer and goto Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and set radius to 31.7
you will get something like this

Step5

Now choose the layer “Text”, right click on it and then goto blending options , tick on inner glow and press ok,

Step 6

choose the background layer (which you have filled with dark gray color, #222222) and goto Filter > Render > clouds and then Filter > Render > Difference Clouds,

Step 7

working on the same background layer, goto Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and set Radius to 30.0,

after setting Gaussian Blur effect, goto Filter > Stylize > Glowing Edges and choose this setting,

now you will get something like this,

Step 8

Now goto Filter > Texture > Craquelure and use this setting

Now your Result will be like this,

Step 9

Now working on the same background layer goto Filter > Render > Lense Flare , Choose 50-300mm zoom and set brightness to 77%,

if you want to create a shadow for it then simply choose the layer “Text” and duplicate it again, flip it vertically and decrease its opacity,
