can anyone tell me how to make a simple underline on text that is dashed? Also, is there anyway you can add gradient to text?

...can anyone tell me how to make a simple underline on text that is dashed?...

The simplest way is to do it with CSS rather than Photoshop.

.text {
border: 1px dashed #000000;
}


But, it can be done in Photoshop.

1. Click the Rectangle Tool
2. Make a very thin horizontal rectangle
3. Rasterize the layer
4. Use the Select and Cut tools to make the rectangle appear dashed.


...Also, is there anyway you can add gradient to text?

1. Right-click on the text layer
2. Click "Blending Options..."
3. Check the box next to "Gradient Overlay"
4. To edit, click the words "Gradient Overlay"

thanks a lot!

You can also make a brush from that and save it, so you don't have to redo it every time. Then simply use the pen tool to make a straight (or curved, etc) line, and stroke it with the selected brush.
