1)
Click on the top layer in your palette.
Now create a new layer. Leave it on -Normal- mode.
Name this layer "TEXT GLOW".

2)
Make sure that your foreground colour to white.
Use the Type tool and enter the text you want to use.
(Text size will depend on the amount of text and the font used)

NOTE: If you're using Photoshop 5, you'll have to Render your text before continuing. Just 'right-click' on the big T to the right of the layer name and from the menu choose Render.

Use the Move tool and drag your text to where you want it postioned inside the dome.

3)
Copy the Text Glow layer.
Name the new layer "TEXT HIGHLIGHTS".
Set this layer to -Normal- mode, 100% Opacity.

4)
Now activate the Text Glow layer again and apply a Gaussian Blur of 2.5 pixels. Return to the Text Highlights layer and load this layer's transparency.
Contract the selection by 2 pixels, invert the selection (Shift+Ctrl+I) and hit delete.

Deselect.

5)
Copy the Text Highlights layer and name the new layer "TEXT FACE".
Now invert the contents of the layer by hitting Ctrl+I. This will invert the white text to it's opposite colour, black. Set this layer on -Multiply- mode, at 50% Opacity. So now, because the layer is only 50% opaque, your main text should now look a medium grey.

Nudge this layer down by 2-3 pixels with the Move tool.
(This number may depend on the size and thickness of your font)

6)
We can now return to the "SURFACE 2" layer and drag it to the top of the layers palette above the "Text Face" layer; leave all of it's settings the same.
