Metallic / Chrome Text


Description: In this tutorial, i'll show you some simple steps in creating a chrome text effect= by applying just a few styles.

Start a new document and fill the background with white.

Press "D" to reset your colors to black and white

Use the type tool to create your text. Make it fairly large.

 

Then go to Layers -> Layer Style -> Satin

Then go to Layers -> Layer Style -> Bevel & Emboss (just check the bevel & emboss box since you already got the layer style box open)

Then go to Layers -> Layer Style -> Drop Shadow. (just check the drop shadow box since you already got the layer style box open)

Works, fine, nice simple and easy to follow tutorial. If you cant get it to work. READ the tutorial again CAREFULLY!

Works great. Looks better on some type than others and at some sizes than others. Just adjust settings to best fit the type and size you are working with. Great tutorial. Thank you

worked for me. I agree w/Worked great. I had overlooked Step 3 and it wasn't coming out. until I went back and payed closer attn. It is easily missed, but fixable. GREAT TUT.... Keep them coming!!

Thx for the tutorial. Had a major stumbling point (like several other folks that commented) in step 3 at Bevel & Emboss that was my own fault. Something easy to miss when changing the settings is the Highlight mode opacity (should be 100%). This is defaulted to something else, and is essential to make the effect work. I was trying to recreate the settings exactly, but somehow that was easy to overlook. HTH

Everyone...mine came out perfect. I think you just forgot that the gloss contour for Bevel and Emboss is Cone. It turned out black until i did that.
