two tone text

[Skyn]

Does anyone know how to make a two-tone or more font?  Like the colour will change from the outside to the inside of the font.  I only have Photoshop Elements.

There are two ways you can do this.

1. Try an inner glow, that would work the best. Make sure the font has big bold leters to really see the difference.

2. Give the font layer a gradiant overlay. Make sure to change the type of gradient to a 'center outwards' style, instead of dirrectional.

* this will effect the word as a whole, not letter by letter

I've done the gradient effect before, but I do not know how to do an inner glow.

If I remember elemnts properly, it should be one of the layer blending options, like the gradient. Maybe inner glow isn't in elements, I can't remember. There are some other people ariound here who use ellemnts a lot more then I do, perhaps they can help.

My friend used to have elements i'll ask him, but i think it had the inner glow, but i'm not sure either.

another way you could do this is add the stroke effect in the blending options, just drop the size down to 1 or 2 pixels and change the collour from that red to what ever you desire i find that having the stroke a contrasting colour to the text colour (E.g. black text, white stroke effect.) works best
