<div style="margin: 12px 0px; font-family: arial; color: #333333; background: #ffffff; border: solid 4px #e5e5e5; width: 100%; clear: left;"><div class="CM_CTB_Content_Wrap" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;background-color: #ffffff;"><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content.clipmarks.com/blog_embed/75806b28-44a7-4a93-9213-e716f8f93392/2BD5AFAF-02FA-481B-8D74-FAADEF8C5B75/" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop" href="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop" style="font-size: 11px;">creativebits.org</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop"><H1 class="title">Magic hat light effect in Photoshop</H1></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop"><P>First of all here is the end result of this tutorial:
<IMG alt="" src="http://creativebits.org/files/magicEffect_thumb.jpg" /></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop"><H2>Step 1</H2>
<P>Create a radial gradient, in this case from a purple to a really dark purple.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop"><H2>Step 2</H2>
<P>Add a really cool Icon of a magic hat from the <A href="http://www.everaldo.com/crystal.html">Crystal Clear Collection by Everaldo</A>.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop"><H2>Step 3</H2>
<P>Add some text and apply the Distort/Wave filter. Create two stripes of text.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop"><H2>Step 4</H2>
<P>Rotate and place the text.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop"><H2>Step 5</H2>
<P>Add some light using glow: Use different values for each line of text, the secret here is the blending option COLOR DODGE. Change the values of Spread, Size and Range.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop"><H2>Step 6</H2>
<P>Group the 2 lines of texts and with one apply a mask to make the stripes disappear at their ends.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://creativebits.org/photoshop/magic_hat_light_effect_in_photoshop"><H2>Step 7</H2>
<P>With the other group of text apply a Gaussian blur, after that delete some parts to show the non-blury text.  This will add a movement feel to the text, like they are really being magicaly created.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2BD5AFAF-02FA-481B-8D74-FAADEF8C5B75/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
