Simple Chrome Text Effect

Thursday, August 28 2008

In this tutorial, we will look at a quick way we can make chrome text. There are many PhotoShop tutorials on the internet showing how to create metallic or chrome-looking text, and this is one of the quickest and easiest ways. We will be using Layer Styles in this tutorial - exact values may output different results on your composition, if you are using different text, fonts, images, dimensions, etc. It is highly recommended that you experiment with the help of this tutorial as a guide.

I just signed up at Server Intellect and couldn't be more pleased with my Windows Server! Check it out and see for yourself.

We start with a blank White canvas and then add our text. We'll do our text Black for now, for the sake of clarity:

Next, we will open up the Layer Styles window for the text. We'll add a Drop Shadow, Bevel and Emboss and Satin:

Server Intellect offers Windows Hosting Dedicated Servers at affordable prices. I'm very pleased!

After applying these Layer Styles, we will have something that looks like this:

As a finishing touch, we should add something to the background and maybe a couple flare brushstrokes:

Remember, the exact values above may not work for you if you are using different dimensions, fonts, etc. The key to PhotoShop is experimentation, so play with the settings and see what you come up with.

I decided it was time to confront myself.That night at home,I took off all my clothes and had a long look at the woman in the mirror.She was androgynous.Take my face - without makeup,it was a cute young boy‘s face.My shoulder muscles,arms and hands were powerful and muscular from the crutches.I had no breasts; instead,there were two prominent scars on my chest.I had a sexy flat stomach,a bubble butt and a well-developed thigh from years of ski racing.My right leg ended in another long scar just above the knee.
