How to Create Gold Text in Photoshop 2024

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

Hi everyone, Steve here. In this video, I show you step-by-step how to turn text into gold with Photoshop. This update to my original gold text video from several years ago (and 3 million views later, thank you so much!!) includes all of the changes to Photoshop since then, especially with the brushes we need to add sparkles to the gold letters. And new in this Photoshop 2024 version, I take things further and show you how to remove the background behind the gold text, save it with a transparent background and even place it onto a different background. As always, I hope it's helpful and thank you foe watching!

[@daveinci6158]

This was a great tutorial, Steve! Thank you! I’d love to know how you did the gold splotches of light in the background that you copied to put in the front of the text as well. Did you and an outer glow to the crosshatch brush?

[@hanswi336]

Thanks for the excellent video. Is it possible to get rid of the lines on the surface - they don't look natural like polished metal ...

My gradient overlay doesn’t Apply the color? But on the gradient map it works

[@chisomezeakunne2451]

Hi Steve I have questions,after creating this effect using the word Gold ,what will I do to apply it on another word without going through the whole process again….like saving the effect for reuse in another word .

[@susanburkholder]

Can you group the two text layers? Would this help when you do want to edit the word or change the size? Would it edit both layers at the same time if they were grouped?

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

Great question! But no, grouping the text layers would make no difference. They would be still be separate, independent layers.

[@photonsonpixels]

Very nice tutorial Steve. When this is done, is it possible to simply replace the word GOLD by another and still be able to preserve the effects? Thank you.

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

Yes, but you'll need to change the word on both type layers. Also you would need to redo the sparkles since they wouldn't line up with the new word.

[@photonsonpixels]

@@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel Awesome! Thank you, Steve.

[@Baishakhiy]

What is the version number of this photoshop?

[@laskipikera3205]

Steve, can I apply this same technique to a logo?

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

I can't think of why it wouldn't work. Honestly I never thought of using it with a logo, but yes it should work.

[@romeocasanova3865]

Awesome 👍 HEYY I have 2 questions?? when adding a USB External Memory Drive to your PC. An adding it to photoshop. Is everything I’m working on automatically being saved to my External memory Drive. Or do I have to, keep saving it separately to it.thanks!! (2) can you show how to emboss super FINE Thine Detailed Lines on Images. Thank you & always much success to you & your business 👊

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

I can answer your first question quickly since I use multiple USB external drives. Saving your work on an external drive is great because if your main hard drive crashes, you won't lose all of your files. But you do still need to choose your external drive when saving. Photoshop won't save to your external drive automatically.

[@romeocasanova3865]

@@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel thank you For Replying, I appreciate it. & thank you for providing such great content on your channel👊

[@keithsomers4303]

For some reason unknown to me I do not get any color on my fonts when using the Color Picker? Help!

[@alexpaz9700]

Same here gradient overlay isn’t working for me

[@susannahperez-llaneza1797]
