I can't remember for the life of me how to do this;

How do I make the top of the text lighter without touching the stroke. For the people who want to say "Google it!", I already have.

Try making a shape on a new layer, colour it white, turn the Opacity to like 20% and position it over the text.

No, that isn't it. I remember I watched a video tutorial on this.

Don't you use the ellipse tool, make it white, then just set the transparency to about 20% ?

Which is basically what I suggested above ;P

[Recursion]

I made that and bascically I got the flag shape put it over the top -> right clicked -> make selection -> filled in white -> turned down the opacity.

try pixel2life.com or zymic.com ;)

Or if you like, you use the pen tool, make one point then make another point then distort the two points (making the line 'wavey') then lower the opacity.

Relatively simple.
