After setting the mood, crafting a bolt of lightning, and generating a block of burnt text, it's now time to add the lightning effect to the text itself. To do this we'll be duplicating the original lightning bolt and getting help from a neat little clipping trick in order to confine the electricity to the inside of the font. The result is a high-voltage, action packed Utah valley a million miles away from where the original photograph was taken.

If we're going to be electrifying our image, what with a bolt of Lightning from the Utah sky, and pulses of electricity flowing through the text, then we'll need to make the text fit into our theme. Using the Wind filter and some multi-directional (you'll see) assistance, as well as some subtle layer styles and adjustment layers, we'll have the text smouldering in no time!

In this video tutorial I’ll show you how to create a green tinted night vision effect similar to military cameras and night-shot mode on home recorders. All you need is a suitable image you want use to run the effect on and I’ll help you through the rest, adding noise and other elements that make the photo look like it was actually taken after night fall and using a night-shot camera.

Here's a technique for blurring live editable text inside Photoshop CS2 or earlier by applying precise layer effects to the type. Users of CS3 and beyond can just apply a blur as a smart filter, users of elements unfortunately can not benefit from this trick.

In this tutorial I'll demonstrate two popular methods of creating a matrix style backdrop and adding larger text to the foreground. The first method involves the use of a text editor and layer masks, while the second only uses filters and colour adjustments - and is therefore probably better suited to Photoshop Elements users. The matrix fonts can be found below in the support files. Unfortunately, the image showing the backdrop of code hasn't come out too good in the video tutorial, but I can assure you - it is there! Good luck.
