See bottom of page for male version.
Example resized with 75%.
For this tutorial you will need:
Any Version of PSP
Eyecandy 4000
The font I used is called Rachel regular.
There's settings for a female version and a male version.
Install the supplies for the version you want.
Tubes are made by me in poser 5 and the settings are all by me aswell.
----
Female Tube
Pink Gradient Glow settings.
-----
Male Tube
Black And White Gradient settings.
---------------------
To install the eyecandy gradient glow settings you go to your eyecandy folder
where it is depends on where you installed it. if you can't find it then
simply do a folder search in your explorer and search for eyecandy.
Unzip the settings into eyecandy/ eyecandy settings/ gradient glow.
If you chose the female version they will show up as GothNT1 and GothNT2
the male ones as MaleNT1 and MaleNT2.
Open up an image 450*450 pixels with a transparent background.
Select your text tool, set size to 150, antialias to sharp kearning to about -300.
Type in the first letter of your word. Add a new raster layer (layers/ new raster layer).
Change the text size to 120 and type in the rest of your word.
Press ctrl + d to deselect.
Select your mover tool and move the smaller text up a little bit
so it's placed just below the middle of the big letter.

When happy with the placement go to layers/ merge / merge visible.
Now go to effects/ plugins/eyecandy/gradient glow.
In eyecandy go to settings/ MaleNT1 or GothNT1 depending on what version you chose.
Now you should have something like this...

Add a new raster layer and then add the tube with the scale 55%.
Move the tube into position with the mover tool.

When happy with the placement merge visible again and
then add setting nr. 2 in eyecandy.
Add the ©info and then crop if needed, save as .jpg and you are done :o)

Hope you had fun!
Happy psp.ing :0P
