Ground texture
Water pattern image
Water splash brush
Step 1
Create a new document sized 1280px * 800px with black background. Load the Ground Texture stock image into Photoshop, and select a piece of the ground as shown below:
![1 sel 1 sel 500x155 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn6.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/1-sel-500x155.jpg)
Copy and paste the selection onto our document, use a soft eraser to remove the edges and some parts of the ground as shown below:
![1 eraser 1 eraser 500x111 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn6.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/1-eraser-500x111.jpg)
Add the following 3 adjustm
ent layers on top of the ground texture layer:
Black and White
![1 bw 1 bw1 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/1-bw1.jpg)
Levels
![1 lv 1 lv1 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn4.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/1-lv1.jpg)
Curves
![1 curves 1 curves1 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn4.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/1-curves1.jpg)
Create a new layer on top and add some cloud effect over the ground with either a cloud brush or the cloud filter – this adds some dramatic effect into it:
![1 effect 1 effect1 500x141 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/1-effect1-500x141.jpg)
Step 2
We will now add some text onto the document – I used the “Freestyle Script” font (should come with Photoshop):![2 type 2 type Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn4.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/2-type.jpg)
Apply the following layer blending options to this text layer:
Bevel and Emboss
![2 bevel 2 bevel 500x359 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn6.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/2-bevel-500x359.jpg)
Color Overlay
![2 color overlay 2 color overlay 500x359 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn6.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/2-color-overlay-500x359.jpg)
Outer Glow
![2 outer 2 outer 500x359 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/2-outer-500x359.jpg)
and you will have the following effect:
![2 mask 2 mask1 500x288 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn6.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/2-mask1-500x288.jpg)
Step 3
We add some water pattern over the text – download the water pattern pack and choose one of the images, select a portion of it with any selection tool:![3 sele 3 sele 500x241 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/3-sele-500x241.jpg)
Copy and paste the selection over the text and set it as a clipping mask to the text layer:
![3 paste clipping mask 3 paste clipping mask 500x158 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn6.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/3-paste-clipping-mask-500x158.jpg)
We will go back to the water images and select a piece again, then copy and paste the selection and put it below the text layer, use the liquify filter’s forward warping tool to make it into a pattern as shown below:
![3 liq 3 liq 500x332 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/3-liq-500x332.jpg)
This step can be a bit and you will probably need to have a few tries before getting it right. The effect below is the one you’re aiming to achieve:
![3 effect 3 effect1 500x293 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn6.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/3-effect1-500x293.jpg)
Step 4
Load the water splash brush into Photoshop and paint some splash around the text, use a soft eraser to fade the edges of the splash for depth:![4 water drop 4 water drop 500x270 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/4-water-drop-500x270.jpg)
We will fine tune the colour effect a bit with the following image adjustment layer on top:
Selective Color
Cyans
![4 sel cyans 4 sel cyans Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/4-sel-cyans.jpg)
Whites
![4 sel whie 4 sel whie Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/4-sel-whie.jpg)
Neutrals
![4 sel neur 4 sel neur Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/4-sel-neur.jpg)
Layer mask on the selective colour adjustment layer:
![4 sel mask 4 sel mask 500x274 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn4.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/4-sel-mask-500x274.jpg)
Curves
![4 curves 4 curves Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn4.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/4-curves.jpg)
Layer mask on this curves adjustment layer:
![4 curves mask 4 curves mask 500x305 Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn4.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/4-curves-mask-500x305.jpg)
Color Balance
![4 col bal mid 4 col bal mid Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/4-col-bal-mid.jpg)
![4 col bal high 4 col bal high Create a Glowing Liquid Text with Water Splash Effect in Photoshop](http://cdn5.psdvault.com/img/2012/09/4-col-bal-high.jpg)
and you will have the following final image: (click to enlarge)
