OUR VERY FIRST PROPER TUTORIAL.

1. OPEN A NEW CANVAS, WITH THE HELP OF THE TEXT TOOL ADD YOUR TEXT TO THE LAYER. YOU CAN SEE THE TEXT IN THE PIC IS BLACK [I CHANGED IT LATER TO WHITE, THAT IS JUST FOR YOU TO SEE]

***

2. SELECT THE LAYER BELOW THE TEXT, GO TO FX FILTER AND CHOOSE OUTER GLOW [UNDER REFER TO UPPER LAYER]. YOU'LL SEE THE ABOVE CONTROL BOX, PLAY WITH THE CONTROLS UNTIL YOUR SATISFIED AND CLICK ON THE GREEN TICK.
