Simple Chrome Text Effect

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.

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.
