Open a new canvas, 500 x 500, 72 dpi, white background. Fill with black.
| |
| Step 1: Create a new layer, set foreground to a mid grey. Select your shape (works best on shapes, text depends on size and density as to outcome). This works best on a solid shape. This example is using the maple leaf from the "nature" category in Photoshop 7. |
|
|
Step 2: Ctrl+Click on the shape layer and open channel palette (Window/Channel). Click on the new channel icon at the bottom of the palette and fill selection with white. Keep selection. |
|
|
Step 3: Filter Blur/Gaussian Blur at 10, repeat at 5 and then 2. (Amount of blurring will depend on size and density of shapes/text). (Text is likely to need much less blur, say 5, 2, 1).
|
|
|
Step 4: Click back on your shape layer in the layers palette. Go to Filter/Render/Lighting Effects and enter these settings.
| |
| | |
|
Step 5: Go to Image/Adjustments/Curves and set the curve like this.
| |
|
| |
| Step 6: Almost finished. You may already be happy with the effect (should be looking something like this - needs a lighter background here), or you can play around in Image/Adjust/Hue and Saturation OR you can go to Image/Adjust/Color Balance and change the settings there. +77, -21, -100 will produce a gold effect. (It never comes out the same twice, sometimes a black background works well, at other times you might have to change it).
