Layers palette and click on the type layer.
Note: If your font is very "thin" overall, you may get a bevel in the following
step that looks too rounded - if that's the case, consider using lower values
during the multiple-gaussian-blur step (such as beginning with 6 or 4 instead
of 8).
Create some cool smooth chrome with soft blue highlights, great as a
text effect or on all kinds of other... eh, chrome stuff.
1. This technique can be applied either to text or any other "thing" you'd like
to add some cool chrome to. For the purposes of this tutorial, I'll be using
text in my example, however feel free to apply the technique to any other
shape.
Begin by creating a new image 500x500 px with a dark gray background. Set
your foreground color to white and use the Type Tool to create whatever text
you'd like to use - make it as big as possible (the example uses the Times

7. As I mentioned before, you don't have to use this effect only on text. Here
is something completely different that I made using this effect, this time
applied to a fancy shape.
5. Now that the chrome is all set, it's time to add the highlight. Go to Filter »
Render » Lighting Effects and use these settings.

by clicking Styles at the top left of the window, clicking the arrow
button to the right, and choosing Save Styles.
In this Photoshop text effects tutorial, we're going to learn how to use
Photoshop's Layer Styles to easily make text look as if it's made out of
plastic. To create the effect, we're going to be using some "contours"
that we'll be loading in, since they're not readily available to us by
default, but don't worry, loading them is easy, and so is everything else
we'll be doing.

You can now throw the text into any image you so
choose. In the following example, I’ve blurred a tech-style background,
placed the type in that document, then placed a duplicate of the blurred

Soft Light to serve as reflections off the type, or making the type

Layer Styles, Drop Shadow, Bevel and Emboss, Stroke
The first part here is optional. I include it just to give you some ideas 4
for the options you can consider when working on a project like this.
Layer Styles will give us the chrome look we want. Let's begin with
I'd like my text to be a bit more angled than the font provides, so we'll Layer->Styles->Bevel and Emboss. Use these settings:
fix that ourselves. We'll use the Distort transformation, but this
transformation only works on pixel data, not text. So we first have to
rasterize the text. Therefore, select Layer->Rasterize->Type. Then
select Edit->Transform->Distort. Grab the middle handle on the upper
edge and drag it a little ways to the right. I also raised it a little to
increase the height just a bit as well. Stop when you get the look you
want.
Now let's get things nice and centered. Make sure the layer containing
the text is still selected and choose the Move Tool and use cmd-A
to Select All (cntl-A on Windows). Now go to the toolbar and click the
Align Vertical Centers button , then the Align Horizontal Centers
button . Then Deselect (cmd-D on Mac OS or cntl-D on Windows).

Now we'll add a Contour effect. The effect this gives is a matter of

overall effect: effective. What's happening is that the Contour setting is causing a gap
in the effect that lets the background show through between the text
and the drop shadow. This makes you think it's a reflection, even
though it really isn't. The trick is to keep the Spread at zero and the Size
small. This makes it seem like the shadow is at the base of the raised

out a nice rectangle around the text to form a frame. Don't worry if it
isn't centered; we'll fix that in a moment. Just get it to be the right size
for the text. Since you're just drawing a path, you'll only see a very thin
line.
