Hello IamSam

Thanks for your welcome. Before I start this topic, I already have tried "Outer Glow". But I couldn't get the same outcome. I Would like to get this another "Outer Glow" too .

Sorry...........I'm not seeing a major difference. You may have to explain in detail what your after!

I do see some differences that you may be referring to........
Normal Outer Glow...

White Innner Glow....

Slight blur to text.....

Do any of these seem to match what you are seeing?

Actually I like all arts you have made. I just can't achieve the same outcome. How do you do that? That image attached is where I think you are operating, or am I wrong?

I like all your arts, but if you can show me the first one (Normal Outer Glow) and the third one (Slight blur to text) I would thank you.
 
First one was a normal "Outer Glow" from a layer style. Here are the settings.

The third one had a Gaussian Blur of 2.0 added to the text in addition to the "Outer Glow" from the layer style I show above.

I thank you so much for your assistence, but the colors between the font and the "Outer Glow" influence the outcome. The color I use for the text I forgot to mention is: FFD700. Based on this information, what color should I aplly to the "Outer Glow"?
You can see that on the second image I attached here (ALTA) has a font on one collor and the "Outer Glow" on another.

The same color as the font.

Depending on the effect you want you can "lighten" the font color on the outer glow.

When working with an "Outer Glow" on text/font, you just have to keep trying different variations until you come up with one that you like. Experiment! There is no one single answer or setting that's going to match an example that you like. There are too many variables to consider...............you just have to experiment!

This is my outcome. Even following your example. I didn't get the same outcome, but thank you anyway!

I think you used the wrong color for your outer glow. It's too light

My outcome using yellow colored (fcd801) font/text with same color (fcd801) for outer glow.

White font/text with lighter colored yellow "Color Overlay" (fbe24b) in a layer style. Note: The underlying font/text colors luminosity can affect the final color of the font/text.
Same color as above (fcd801) for the "Outer Glow".

More like your ALTA example......White font/text with colored yellow "Color Overlay" (fbe24b) in a layer style but lowered it's opacity to 40 so that more white would show through.
Same color as above (fcd801) for the "Outer Glow".

Ok. Thank you!
 
You could just do this: Use text in white. Then duplicate layer and set color to yellow. Then rasterize both text layers. Then blur second text for effect. Duplicate layer layer to add more effect. Instead of layer styles. Or layer effects.Screenshot 2025-05-25 110610.png

The problem with this is that the text would be non editable. You would have to repeat the process every single time you wanted to make any changes like color, size, blur or content.
