Gold Text for Finer Fonts

Working with nice fat, chunky text, is great for applying texture effects, but when it comes to the finer fonts, some effects just don't quite make the grade. Here is a method of applying a Gold Text effect to a finer font that works very well.

Step 1

Open a New Image.
200 x 100
White Background
16 Million Colors

Step 2

Click on the Text Tool.
Click on your New Image and enter some text.
Text Fill Color = Light Grey #C0C0C0
(Font used in this tutorial Times New Roman. 36 Point)

Step 3


Press your keyboards "Ctrl plus H" to feather the text selection.
Feather = 4 pixels

Step 5



Apply a Hot Wax Coating to the text selection.

Effects>Artistic Effects>Hot Wax Coating

Step 6



Press your keyboards "Shift plus U" keys to apply RGB color.

Red = 60
Green = 40
Blue = 0


Repeat this step for a more golden look to the text. Play around with the RGB colors to suit your needs.

Step 7



Apply a Drop Shadow to the Text.
