People love glass effects. They also love transparent look, glowing and glossy as well. Now, we will learn how to make these popular effects. Less than 1 minute, you can get this Transparent Glass Style in Photoshop. Let's get started!
Step 1
Open any image in Photoshop. I recommended to open full color image or the real photo (not abstract) but it's up to you after all ^^.
Step 2
Use Horizontal Type Tool (T) and write any text you want. In this tutorial I used white color (#FFFFFF), 72pt for size, and Gill Sans Ultra Bold for font.
Step 3
Apply the following Layer Style to the "Transparent Glass" Text Layer (Double Click on it or go to Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options...).
Blending Options: Custom – Set Fill Opacity to 20% under Advanced Blending
Outer Glow: You may change outer glow setting if you want to.
Gradient Overlay: This is the crucial part of this step. Don't miss it!
Stroke: I used standard stroke here. White (#FFFFFF) for color, 3px for size in outside position and 100% for opacity.
Step 4
Look what should you get now ...A Transparent Glass Style Effect.
If you take a look closer, it will be like the following image. It's so cool, isn't it?
You may also change the color of the text if you like
