I don't know if this is elementary or advanced, but here goes:
I would like to make my text into gold metal. I've found some tuts and one in particular works, but the overlay required messes up everything on the layout.
I use PSE4 and am thinking I can't rasterize anything..... What's a girl to do?
Thanks for any suggestions and this is wonderfully creative place. Thanks Kimi and sarch for bringing me here. -L

Hi! Don't mind the subject line. An old standing joke here.

Look at these styles and tutorials:
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1329
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1395
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2119&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

If you don't like any of those, there is always the Photoshop exchange:

Look up dalewin. He has nice ones.

Ohmygosh! Ask and ye shall receive! If I can't do it now....

Subject line or not, thanks a bunch! Going to get to work. IF/when I ever get finished, I'll post the layout.

Reka/hukari....you're at the sprayground too, right? Thank you again.

I know just enough in pse to make me dangerous!

Be sure you post.....Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Did somebody say GOLD text?? Sorry couldn't resist.

Hi l
Joe Kostoss has one in the Member tutorials thread. It has worked for me. Your text is on a seperate layer anyway so you can set it up with any amount of brightness or shine that you want.

No one has mentioned using Jodi's Missing Styles to make gold font. I type the font in yellow, find one of Jodi's gold frames and apply. I am using PSE5.0. The frames make great gold font. Jean

Jean, that is a great tip. I just tried it. It's great to have options available.

Well, got my gold type done using a style off the Adobe Exchange, if I recall correctly. Now, I've searched and searched on how to upload the jpg here and I'm not seeing instructions. Could someone point me in the direction where instructions for uploading are?? Thanks. -L
