Welcome To ProDesignHost.com Photoshop Tutorials Area - Chrome Text
Chrome Text |
Author: Nathan Ng
Description: In this tutorial, i'll walk you
through step by step in creating a nice chrome text effect.
This tutorial shows you how to apply the effect to 1 big
letter, but of course, you can apply this same technique
to a whole word or some objects. You dont have to follow
my steps exactly as described, each step can be modified
to suit your taste.
Note: I learnt this technique from robouk's tutorial and
I liked it alot, too bad his site is dead for a long time
now, so I re-create this based on what i've learnt from
his. So much of the credit goes to him |

Create a new image
(mine is 300x300) with a gray background (#64635C).
Use the type tool to create your text
and make it big so it fit the canvas. Im using Times
New Roman.
Now rasterize the text layer (Layer>Type>Rasterize
or right click on the text layer in the layer pallete
and select rasterize).
Ctrl + Click on the
text later to create a selection around the text.
Go to the channel pallete and create
a new channel. |
 |
On the new channel,
fill the selection with white then deselect (CTRL
+ D). Then go to filter > Blur >
Guassian Blur and use raduis = 10
Then apply the Guassian Blur
again, this time, use raduis = 5
Apply Guassian Blur again
and this time use raduis = 3. One more
time, and use raduis = 1
Now go back to the layers pallete
and select the type's layer. |
 |
Now with the type layer
selected, go to Filter > Render > Lighting
Effects and use the following settings : CLICK
TO VIEW
Now go to image>Adjustments>Curves
and use the following settings: CLICK
TO VIEW
Now apply the Lighting effects again
(Filter > Render > Lighting Effects)
and use the following settings: CLICK
TO VIEW
That's it, now if you want, you can
apply the following drop shadow and stroke settings,
this is how I came to the result you see to the left.
