Metalic Text Photoshop Tutorial

On the new year's eve we are offering you to learn to make an awesome metalic effect on any text you want. And you will like it.

Create a new document.

I have created a document with 1024 x 768 dimensions and white background.

Click above on Edit and select Fill...

In a new window set Use to Black and click OK.

Select Horizontal Type Tool (T).

Press D key and then X key to select white color.

Type any word you want.

I have used Impact font. If you want to resize the text, press Ctrl (Command on MacOS) and T keys to transform layer.

Click above on Layer, Layer Style and select Inner Shadow...

In a new window set the same values like I did and set white fill color (see my pic).

Don't close the window yet ...

Click on Gradient Overlay and again set the same values like I did.

After that click on gradient picker ...

Set the dark grey color as left Color stop (see my pic).

I have entered in # a value 58595B.

Set the dark lighter color as right Color stop (see my pic).

I have entered in # a value D1D3D4.

Press OK twice to confirm changes.

This is my example till now.

Create a new layer.

Drag the new layer below the text layer (see my pic).

Now hold Ctrl (Command on MacOS) and click on text layer's thumbnail (see my pic).

The new blank layer must remain selected.

Now click above on Select, Modify and select Expand ...

Set Expand By to 5 pixels and click OK.

Click above on Edit and select Fill...

In a new window set Use to White  and click OK.

Click above on Layer, Layer Style and select Bevel & Emboss...

In a new window set the same values like I did.

Don't close the window yet ...

In the same window set the same setting like I did too.

Than click on Contour picker and select ring contour.

Don't close the window yet ...

Click OK.

Set the dark grey color as foreground color.

Then right click on document and set the same values like I did.

The Size depends on the size of you document. My is 1024 x 768 pixels big.
