Chromed Type Start with a new RGB image. Type some text using type tool.
Note, if you are using Photoshop 4.0 it will create a layer of your type. You must
merge it down if you want this trick to work. Just hit Ctrl-E (Cmd-E on Mac). In Channel
Palette (Window>Show Channels) drag any of the channels to a new
channel icon. |
|
 |
Now, switch to channel #4 and click that right arrow
button in the top right corner of the channel palette and choose Duplicate Channel... Go to Channel #4 copy and Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur/3.0 |
 |
Filter/Stylize/Find Edges |
 |
Select/Load Selection/#4 Edit/Copy Now switch to RGB channel, select all and fill it with color (white for example) Edit/Paste |
 |
Now the good idea would be to colorize it (using Image>Adjust>Hue/Saturation...) and drop a shadow. |

Here you go! |
