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.
