Do this by selecting the pen tool (1.) from the tool bar. Now we need to get the path down that will eventually be your ‘moving light text’. Once you have a nice dark gradient on the page move on to step 3. Finally drag gradient a line from the top of the page to the bottom (3.) I find it looks more natural if you don’t go exactly vertical, remember the effect we are trying to achieve is simulating real light movement which is hardly ever exact. You then need to make sure the gradient is set to linear (2.) and the opacity is at 100%. I have chosen a dark purple (background color) with black (foreground color). To do this first select the gradient tool from the tool bar (1.) Next select your base colors & try and stay as dark as possible. Next thing you need to do is to get the base color onto the canvas. Do this by going to IMAGE > ROTATE CANVAS > 90° CW (clockwise) Before you go onto step 2 you might want to rotate your canvas to landscape. If your into professional printing set the color mode to CMYK otherwise RGB is fine, the difference isn’t generally noticeable on your standard ink jet. If your planning on printing your finished artwork make sure resolution is set to 300dpi, if your creating the art for screen stick to 72dpi. I have chosen to work on an A4 sized canvas but you can set it up any size you wish. This tutorial is done on CS3 but the main screen should be pretty similar.

I'm using a combination of layer styles, the pen tool and colour blending. In this tutorial we are gonna create some really sharp looking glowing text effect in Photoshop, step by step explained.
