Photoshop – How to Create Chrome Text
May 13, 2020There are many ways that you can create Chrome Text in Photoshop. In this tutorial I will show you one of the ways Chrome Text is created in Photoshop.
How to Create Chrome Text in Photoshop
Open your Photoshop program and let it load. Next you will need to create a new document. Click File gt; New to create a new document. Create it 450 px x 450 px. Make sure your Color Mode is set to RGB Color and not Grayscale. Click OK.
Now select your Text Tool in your toolbar. Draw a rectangle on your canvas where you want your text to go. At the top of your window you will see your Font Options. Use a big size font, you can size it down after you have finished creating the text. 100 pt is a good size to use. I used the Palatino Linotype font. Change the Font Color to Black. Now click inside your rectangle and type what you want.
Right click on your Text Layer in your Layers Panel and click Blending Options. This will bring up the Layer Style dialog box. This is where you will apply all of your effects to get the Chrome Text.
