    Youtube How to create a neon text effect

    This is a video tutorial that I did some time back on how to create a neon text effect in Xara products. This is a fairly basic tutorial but for those that don't know it could be useful.

    I'm never wrong. I thought I was wrong once but it turns out that I was mistaken.

    The members must be recovering from the Super Bowl half time, Eric.

    Your video tutorial reminds me of a tutorial I did in 2001 http://www.xaraxone.com/tutorials/jul01/index.htm

    I tried to capture the reflections on the glass tubing as well as the neon glow. It was my best effort at neon. (Preview the image to see the neon effect).

    Excellent effect Gary!

    Would a neon sign not work better on a dark background, since a neon sign is rarely seen in daylight?

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
