Flashing Text

I was wondering how you can get Flashing text on a banner/signature, I have the programs Adobe Photoshop cs2 and Adobe Imageready cs2

 

Flashing how?

Well basically. Duplicate your text layer and make it white, guassian blur it (Not tooo much) then move it into imageready. Simply make the white text layer fade in and out..

Should work. Unless you mean how it sort of shines, which is a masked white gradient.

 

How do i make it fade in then fade out? Sorry im new

 

look up some animation tutorials so u can learn the basics

 

Or you could help him.

To fade in and out, just take the first slide and duplicate it, then make your guassian blur layer visible (should be invisible, no eye in the layer's palette, on the first slide).

Then go to the slides palette and select tween, and play around with that; 5 slides should do the trick, the more slide you have the smoother the animation looks, and also the bigger the file.

Hopefully that helps.... I'd go into more depth/ take screenshots but I'm feeling too lazy right now.
