   What font you used?

2. admin June 29th, 2006 8:09 am

   I have used “CType AOE” font

   it’s an awesome tutorial. It looks kinda metallic so can it be used with other colors?

4. admin June 29th, 2006 8:39 am

   Of course you can use other colors.
   Try change these color to these settings:

   - Outer Glow: use this color: #ffffff
   - Gradient overlay: use these colors #ffffff —> #f4f4f4 —> #ffffff

   And you will get a nice silver golden text

   Try changing the glow and the gradient colors and you will get nice metallic colors!

   Simple, easy to follow, and to the point. Really nice tutorial. I tried it with fonts such as Fuzzy Xmas, Flying Leatherneck, and Grave Digger. Really cool. I also played around with the gradient overlay and got some neat looking font. Thanks for the ideas.

   dude, im so new to this what do u mean by Right click the text layer and choose Blending Options?

8. admin June 30th, 2006 2:14 am

   In Photoshop you have your work organized in layers.
   When you make new text, Photoshop automatically make a new layer for this text.
   So go to the layer panel (if you don’t have this panel opened, just open it going to Window > Layers), select the layer where your text is, right click the mouse button and will appear a menu. In that menu you have an option called “Blending options”.

   Hope that helps.

   cool i did it, but mine is kinda diffrent, just at the end i can’t find those 3 colours

10. Newbie June 30th, 2006 6:17 pm

    I have the same problem that Pyro has, and I am kinda new. I got Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0, can I still make it. The thing that I do is that I have a little window with the layers, background and text, I rightclick the text layer and:
    Rename layer (I translated…)
    Duplicate (same)
    Delete (same)
    Simplyfy or something (same)
    And then in gray, Delete layer style or something (same)

    plz help me

    For Pyro: to select the 3 colors for gradient look at Gradient Overlay option, and you will see Blend Mode, Opacity, Gradient, Style….Just click on the Gradient sub option and will appear the gradient selector, there you can choose all the colors you want.

    For Newbie: sorry but I have never used Photoshop Elements, so I can’t help you

    Great tutorial! I’ve been looking for one of these for a while now. Thanks alot.

    I added a few more options to mine. Including “Satin” and “Bevel/Emboss -> Contour”. I just played around with those two until I found something I liked.

    Take it from me. (a graphic design student)

21. Martin September 4th, 2006 3:18 am

    Good tutorial, it doesn’t just work with text either. Try using some shapes too.

    I used this idea for a 10th Anniversary corporate event website. They were very impressed.

    Thanks!

22. Omha September 7th, 2006 3:05 pm

    The instructions were really easy to follow. I have tried other instructions and they were more complicated and some of them I could not even do.
    Great! Great! Great!

    thnxxxx

29. Skandranan March 26th, 2008 11:26 am

    Great job, thanks alot! Exactly what I was looking for!

    Also, I’ve found that if you’re using this style on a background other than black, that adding a black stroke to the text helps to bring it into focus and look a bit better.

30. adam March 12th, 2009 11:55 am

    this metallic effect is top notch. was exactly what i was looking for and then some. I’ve recomended this tut to three designers i know already.

    Great Job!

    Digital Street Quick Golden Text…

    I have seen many tutorials that make gold effects on text using channels, flatten image or rasterize. Here you will learn to make golden text only using Blending Options….
