Now add a  layer mask to the “think  shadow” layer to fade out the shadow using a  gradient (or use a soft  eraser).<a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/191.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/191.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/201.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/201.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Step 12: Looking pretty good! Now let’s add some lighting effects. Press P to select the pen tool and create a Path like this.<a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/211.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/211.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Now select a brush of size of 5px with 100%  hardness. Select White as  your foreground color. Select the pen tool  again—the path you drew  before should still be there. Right click and  select “stroke path” tool.  Select Brush from drop down menu and turn on  “stimulate pressure”. You  will get stroke like this: <a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/221.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/221.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/231.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/231.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Step 13: Name the this stroke layer as “Wave  1″ and duplicate the layer. Go  to filter > Distort > Wave and  apply filter with these settings: <a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/241.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/241.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/251.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/251.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>This will give an extra wavy look to the stroke. Step 14: Create  some more waves by following the steps 12 & 13 and  arrange them  around the text. Apply a light gussian blur to some waves  to give them a  sense of depth. If everything is done correctly then it  will look like  this:<a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/261.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/261.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Step 15: As an optional step, we can add some stars to our text. Press “U” to select the custom shape tool and select 5 point star.<a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/27.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/27.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Make a new document of size 100 x 100 px  and make a star with the 5  point star shape. Fill it with black and  then ctrl + click the same  layer to get selection of star. Go to Edit  > Define Brush Preset,  create the brush and name it star brush. <a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/28.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/28.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Step 16: Press F5 to access the brush panel and apply these settings: Brush tip shape – spacing 30%Shape Dynemics – size jitter & angle jitter 100%Scattering – 578% on both axisOther Dynemics – opacity 100%. <a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/29.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/30.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/30.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/311.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/311.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/321.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/321.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Step 17: Select this star brush and keep its size to 15 px. Set foreground color to “#ff62ad“.   Create another path with the pen tool, right click to select “stroke   path”. Turn on stimulate pressure and create a wave of stars. Name this   new layer something like “Star Wave”.<a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/331.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/331.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Step 18: Now we just need to hide this  star wave layer from some places to  make it seem as if it is passing  through layers. I prefer to use a  mask, and manually filling in the  areas I want to hide.<a href="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/34.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.squadrosolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/34.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
