Create a new file and position your text.

Control + Click on your type layer to load the selection. Select > Save Selection > Name-It-Whatever-You-Wish (Alpha 1 is the default name). Rasterize the type layer.

Switch over to the Channels Palette and click once on the Alpha Channel. Next, Filter > Gaussian Blur > 2.

Switch to the Layers Pallet. Make sure the Type Layer is active. Select > Load Selection > Alpha One.

Filter > Render > Lighting Effects. Here you can experiment (play) to your own heart's content. Recommended is choosing Alpha One from the drop-down menu and check the "White Is High" box.

Filter > Render > Lighting Effects---and our result.

The Satin settings at left provide a brief hint of color for our tutorial.

A final Gaussian Blur using a setting of 2.2 and we are done.
