Things you will learn from here:
- Chisel hard bevel
- Ring Gloss Contour
1. Ctrl+N to open a new file. I used the following settings:
width: 450 pixels
height: 200 pixels
background color: black
2. Write the text you want. I used the font Copperplate Bold with a fontsize of 150pt, and colored it with ‘#faee2f’.
3. Make it gold. Click Layer > Layer Style > Bevel and Emboss. Apply the following settings:
Important settings are:
- Structure Technique: Chisel Hard
- Shading Gloss Contour: Ring
- Just check the Contour checkbox under Bevel and Emboss style.
If you want more shiny effect, set the Contour of your Bevel and Emboss (not the Gloss Contour) to Linear with a Range of 50%. These values are normally the default settings.
Apply white or gray Color Overlay to make it a metallic silver.
Thanks for the comments and concerns!

The picture of the settings is too small to read.
Clicking on it just reloads the same page.

Thank you for offering this tutorial. I followed it until I got to the image of the settings at Step 3 and it was too tiny to see. So I enlarged it in Photoshop and it was too blurry to read. I’d love to know how to do this. Could you please provide either the steps in words or a bigger image?
Thanks!
