Start a new document 700x400px with blue HEX: #043A79background.
|
|
|
Switch over to the Channel's Pallete and create a new channel. (if the channel pallete is not visible, go to
"Windows->Channels".
While still in the channels pallete and with the new channel (Alpha 1) selected, select the Type Tool and type your
text. Make it as big as possible.
|
|
|
|
Pixelate->Fragment
Pixelate->Crystalize
|
|
Now duplicate this new text channel, to do this, drag the channel into the "create new channel" icon.
This will create an Alpha 2 channel, not an Alpha 1 copy.
Be sure the image is deselected. Go to Filter->Pixelate->Fragment. Repeat this step for 3 times.
Then go to
Filter->pixelate->crystalize. Enter 6.
(This depends on the size of your text. Play around.)

|
|
|
Go to Select->Select All, then Edit->Copy
Then go back to the layers pallete. Click on the Background Layer. Then Edit->Paste
|
|

Go back to the Channels Pallete. and click on the original text channel (Alpha 1) to select it.
Then go to Filter->Blur->Guassian Blur.

|
|
Go to Image->Adjustments->Levels
Input Levels: [ 0 ] [
0.15 ] [ 60 ]
CTRL+Click on Alpha 1

Go to Filter->Render->Clouds
|
|
|
|
|
Go to Filter->Sketch->Chrome

|
|
Apply Inner Glow layer style to this chrome layer. (Blue used: #39C5FF)
|
|
|
|
|
Change the blending mode of the chrome layer to overlay, and set the opacity
to about 80%
Now you are done, but what if we want to place our text on another color background?
We cant, because it is already on a colored background.
The following steps will show you how to overcome that.

|
|
|
Go back to the Channels Pallete,
CTRL click on Alpha 1 to select the original text channel,
then go back to the layers pallete.
Go to Select->Inverse, then hit delete to delete, then deselect.
Go to Image->Rotate Canvas->90CW.
Go to Filter->Stylize->Wind.
Method: Wind
Direction: From the right
Go to image->rotate Canvas->90CCW.
Now your ice text can be place on any colored background.
