Wish you all a great Independence Day. Stay cool and enjoy the bbq. As for me, work, work,work (well, in about 50 minutes anyway). Take care.

@Wallace

your banner is fantastic !

how did you achieve the effect on the red, white and blue gradient ?
is it painted with a brush or a filter ?
smudged perhaps ?

I honestly can't recall exactly how I made it.
The image was created back on Jun 16, 2013.

Here's a link to my original post:

Here is my attempt at trying to recreate this test.

It was simply done,
by creating a selection form the text.
Then using a soft brush.
Painting first with red along the top and then blue on the bottom.
Finally the painting with white in the center.
The blur this a bit,
duplicate the layer 3 times and merge.
Creating a selection for the text,
once again and invert the selection and clear it.
Then run Bevel and Emboss and give it a drop shadow.
