Chrome Text Effect - Guest Tutorial
The double underlined links (or in-line text advertising) can be very annoying while reading an article or tutorial but it’s a great additional revenue stream for my site. People whom register an account and login won’t be bothered with these ads.
Intro:
In this photoshop tutorial you will learn how to create a nice looking chrome text effect just like the one below.
Step 1:
First of all make a new 300x300 images on white background. Then using Type Tool create your type and use black color for your text. I used a Book Atiqua font at 72 pt and set the font style bold.
Step 2:
go to Layer => Layer Style => Stroke or just double click on your type layer on the layer palette. Once the Layer Style box has opened then use the following values for stroke.
Step 3:
go to the Gradient Overlay box and use the following settings. You will need to get the gradient to look like the one I used.
To modify the gradient double click on it and add and change the slider to resemble this.
Step 4:
Next drop down to the Bevel and Emboss settings and set the following values.
I hope you all like the new version's redesign, the new features and what not. There are still some minor bugs those need fixing but I'll get on that in the very near future.
