Creating text effects in photoshop can be really simple, here’s a quick way to create a smooth glass type effect, the effect works well with any background and is done using layer styles

1) First you need to select your background, for this tutorial I’m using a wet texture, you just need to adjust the lighting and add some blue tones, the tones and lighting is as you like them. The blue tone that I used is #3a5b85

2) Type the text you want in any font you like, and set the size, a big size is better.
