    Hey guys!

    I tried out the tutorial about a Glowing Text Effect on PSDTUTS. Here's the link: http://psdtuts.com/text-effects-tutorials/create-a-layered-glowing-text-effect/

    It wasn't really difficult, although the outcome is great.
    When you look at the final image you see, that the reflection isn't really right. I mean it should stretch and fit with the ground (the grid). The problem doesn't really hard to solve, just use the "Perspective Transform-Tool".

    PROBLEM:
    The effect bases on the Text-Layers and their blending mode (color dodge). I have two groups called M and L for each letter and there are approximately 20 text-layers in it. Then I put these 2 groups into one group called "Reflection". If I try to use "Perspective" now... it doesn't work. You know, the function doesn't work with text-layers.

    QUESTION:
    What shall I do now? I can't merge this to one rasterized layer because all the styles wouldn't work anymore. Do you have an idea?

    P.S.: I'm trying to get my version of the image in here. Let's see if it works! ;-)

    Convert the letters to a shape.

    Highlight all of the M layers, right click the layers, and choose Convert To Shape. Do the same with the L's. You should be able to use perspective then.

    Thank you, I didn't think about converting to shape layers.
    Everything's right now!
