CS5 Tutorial – How To Create A Gold Text Effect In Photoshop

Hi everybody. In this quick and easy tutorial I’m gonna show you how to make gold text effect in Photoshop CS5. I can say that this tut is for beginners because you don’t need any special Photoshop skills to make it. I hope that most of you will be satisfied with the final result. I have named it for myself “Casino Gold Text Effect”, because I have used it mainly in casino related graphics.

We will start with creating a new canvas. Here I’m using 520×310. Then we will apply a gradient fill on the background layer. I am using green to make it look like a playing table.

Than we have to create one new layer, fill it white, and then we will apply texture effect.

Than we have to change the texture’s layer blending options to “Multiply”. Now you will have something like this.

Now we have to enter our text. Here I’m using the Atlantis font because it gives the old casino style look.

Now it’s time to start editing our font layer style settings. Lets start with the gradient overlay.

Next is the stroke of the text.

Now we will apply some Bevel and Emboss.

As a final we’ll add some shadow.

Your final result have to look something like this. Note that the look of this effect may vary with different fonts and sizes of the text.
