Photoshop makes jewelry text effects

Use the path of the shape layer to make more changes, and then use the channel combination brush to make a complex selection, with the light rendering filter combined with the texture channel to make three-dimensional effect.

I hope this example of the production method can bring you more special effects of the production of inspiration.

Special effects production methods:

1. Create a new 500x500 pixel blank file, the foreground color is set to light gray, the text is typed, the text size is set. (as shown in Figure J-1)




2. Perform Layer/type/convert to shape (layer/text/convert to shape) on the text layer to convert the text layer to a vector layer. (as shown in Figure J-2)



3. Edit the outline path pattern of the text with the Pen tool. (as shown in Figure J-3)





4. Switch to the Rounded Rectangle shape tool, select the Trim mode on the status bar, draw a rounded rectangle and subtract it from the original text shape. (as shown in Figure J-4)


5. Switch to the path selection tool, select the path of the rounded rectangle, hold down the ALT key and drag the quick copy, and then hold down the SHIFT key to select the original rounded rectangular path, and in the status bar, choose the vertical center alignment. (as shown in Figure J-5)



6. Ctrl-click to select the path mask after the vector layer, floating selection. To the channel panel, click the Mask icon, and create a new channel. (as shown in Figure J-6)




7. Select a hard edge round brush head, the foreground color set to black, click the channel image, forming two circles. Draw a path with the Pen tool and set the spacing (spacing) of the brushes to a minimum of 1%, which will give you a smoother stroke. (Figure J-7.1, as shown in Figure J-7.2)






8. The tool for setting stroke path (stroke path) in the Triangle menu in the path panel is a brush, or you can click the Quick instruction icon under the path panel to perform the operation of the stroke path. You can try again and again, and adjust the path to get the most satisfying effect. (as shown in Figure J-8)



9. Continue to use brush stroke path method combined with brush free painting, draw more decoration. (as shown in Figure J-9)


10. Copy the channel, perform Gaussian blur on the copy, 5 pixels, then execute the Gaussian blur filter again 3 times, the numerical value is 3,2,1 respectively, get a smooth blur effect. (Figure J-10.1, as shown in Figure J-10.2)






11. Ctrl-click to select Channel 1, floating selection. To the layers panel, hide the original shape layer, create a new layer, and fill the 30% gray (as shown in Figure J-11.1). and perform the render/lighting render filter, the texture channel chooses just to perform a blurry channel 1 copy. Then the text in the screen produces three-dimensional effect. (as shown in Figure J-11.2)






12. Back to Channel 1, use the Magic wand tool to hold down the SHIFT key and select those black parts that are machined with brushes. (as shown in Figure J-12)




13. To the layers panel, a new layer, with brush tool, choose a different foreground color, in the selection process smear. (as shown in Figure J-13)




14. Perform layer style on the layer of brush processing, first is embossed. (as shown in Figure J-14)




15. The next is the improved inner glow pattern. (as shown in Figure J-15)


16. Floating Channel 1 selection, add a layer below the text layer as a shadow, fill 50% gray, Gaussian blur, set the layer blending mode. (Figure J-16.1, as shown in Figure J-16.2)






17. Perform a slight Gaussian blur on the gold-text layer and soften the text boundary. (as shown in Figure J-17)





18. Ctrl-click on the gold text layer, floating selection, add a curve adjustment layer, adjust the curve into a w shape, forming a strong metal texture. (as shown in Figure J-18)




19. Float the selection of the gold-text layer again, add a saturation adjustment layer, tick the colored check box, and make the whole coloring. (as shown in Figure J-19)




20. Add a pattern fill layer to increase the background texture to form a texture contrast. (Figure J-20.1, as shown in Figure J-20.2)





21. Create a new layer, with star brush for high light point of processing, and then use 10% or so white soft side brush gently draw star-type high light neutral halo. (The overall high light point should not be too much, enough). (as shown in Figure J-21)
