I have photoshop elements 2 and I wanted to see peoples best stuff they can do with text in that program. Here is one logo i did with an alright txt. It is actually 2 things that say benderama.com, one with the white outline and then the text. Also, how do you change the color of outer glows?

In the Outer Glow dialog box, there's a color box you can click as well as a gradient box you can click. Each one can be changed. Maybe it's different in Elements.

it's not like that in elements. kinda sucks, you can only get a white glow, at least thats all i can get. Could you please take screen shots of what your doing to see if im missing something. that would help tremendously. if not, thats cool. thanks, im such a ditz

Sure, no problem. Here's the standard Outer Glow dialog box (for PS6) with all the default options. Don't call yourself a ditz!

Can you get layer styles in Elements, i didnt think you could?

it brings up some really small box with mionor options, for lay ers ettings, can't change color though. you could do i the red neck way of using magic wand to select glow and add color then change hues from there. lol
thanks datameister

I'm not very familiar with Elements, but here's an alternate method that at least works in PS6. Control-click the thumbnail of the layer you want to glow. Go Select>Feather and set a pixel value of your choice. Create a new layer beneath the glowing layer and fill the selection with the color of your choice. I hope that works in Elements, because the effect is exactly identical to Outer Glow.
