I will not use images for this tutorial (only in the end...to show you how it looks) becose this tut is easy

Step 1:

Ok...First...open up new work...(any size)
make the background white...

now...apply this filter = Filter>Texture>Grain...

U will now see Two lines where you can set Intesity and Contrast
and one drop down menu its for Grain Type...ok

First Line (Intesity):Set it to 100
Second Line (Contrast):Set it to 100

Drop DOwn Menu(Grain Type):Set it to Vertical

and press OK.


Step 2:

Now...again go in filters and chose neon glow = Filters>Artistic>Neon Glow

You will see:
Again Two lines...
this time it will be Glow Size and Glow brightnes and under these lines you will have color...

OK...set it like this:
Glow Size:Set it to 2
Glow bright:Set it to 50(max)
And set color to whatever you want (just not black...make it be...light green becose i used that ...and i dont want you to get problems...)

Press OK.
