PS to create retro elegant golden font effect

@DearSalt: Like this type of embossed text, the usual practice is to copy several layers of the text layer, the fill to 0, and then add a different layer style, and finally the various graphs cascade together, so that the overall effect is out of the >>>

　　First, preliminary preparation

Create a new 1280 px * 720 px Canvas and import the background image into the canvas. In the middle of the canvas in the text, the size should not be too large, position placed in the middle on the side can be. Copy the text layer two layers, named "super_1", "super_2", respectively.

　　Second, layer style

Double-click the "super_1" layer to set the layer style.

　　Three, set layer style

Double-click the "super_2" layer to set the layer style (parameters are for reference only)

　　Four, the production of text outside the metal effect

Bring up the selection of the text, and then select-Modify-expand, enlarge the selection range, and then fill in any color block, change the fill of this layer to 0, and double-click to open the Layer style modification.

　　Five, Shadow effect

The two-layer style is set, the text of the general effect has come out, but the three-dimensional is not strong, here you can make a long shadow method of making shadows, the principle is to a certain angle constantly moving.

　　Six, add light

Drag the high light material into the canvas, and then change the layer mode to "color filter", where appropriate, and opacity.

To match the light source, we need to add a layer of white light to the edge of the text. The method is to bring up the text selection, and then perform the edit-stroke, the position is centered, the size is 2px, the color is white.

Change this layer mode to "overlay", and then reduce the opacity appropriately, and erase the unwanted part with the mask tool according to the light direction.

　　Vii. Overall Modification

Here I am adding a color balance to adjust the overall color, but also add a little cowboy hat, this will not do the demo, we can play their own imagination to decorate the whole piece.
