| Learn to make chrome and metallic text like above in a few easy steps. | |||||
|
Create a new image: 200 x 200 pixels, background color white, 16 million colors. | ||||
 
|
Select the Text tool and click anywhere into the image to bring up the Text Entry dialog box. Choose a large, bold text ... I used Arial black, bold, 28. Set your Styles to: Stroke = None, Fill = Solid Color, click into the Fill box and choose a very light gray (Red = 220, Green = 220, Blue = 220). Check both Antialias and Floating Selection, set remaining options as desired. Click on OK. Do not deselect the text! |
||||
 |
Go to Selections || Modify || Expand, set the value to 2 or 3 and click on OK. | ||||
 |
Set your foreground color to white. | ||||
 |
Go twice to Image || Other || Hot Wax Coating. | ||||
 |
Go to Colors || Adjust || Brightness/Contrast and set as follows:
Brightness = 80 Contrast = 80 |
||||
 |
Now deselect by going to Selections || Select None. This works to make any color metallic text. Just set the fill color to a very light shade of the color you want. |
