This is the tutorial about making ghost text effects.

So let’s begin.

Create a document and overlay it with some king of gradient several times, maybe changing the opacity.

Now select type mask tool and do some text.

Make a work path from the selection.

Good. Now tap (A) and stroke the path with brush preset.

 
I’ve choose this brush.

In the end we get this.

Switch to the bevel and emboss on a little bit.

Maybe a little bit color change in the end.
