Create a new document by going up to the File menu in the Menu Bar and choosing New: And in the New Document dialog box, set the Width of your document to 1600 Pixels, the Height to 800 Pixels, and the Resolution to 72 pixels/inch. Then in Photoshop CC, click the Create button, or in CS6, click OK: The new document appears:
To help the gold letters stand out, change the background color of the document from white to black. Go up to the Edit menu in the Menu bar and choose Fill: Then in the Fill dialog box, set the Contents to Blackand click OK: Photoshop fills the background with black:
Then in the Options Bar, choose your font. For this tutorial, I'll keep things simple and use Times New Roman Bold, but you can use any font you like. Set the Size of the type to 72 pt. We'll resize the type once we've added it, but this will give us the largest preset size for now:
To see the text against the black background, set the initial color of the type to white. We'll add the gold colors later using layer effects. Click on the color swatchin the Options Bar: And in the Color Picker, choose white by setting the R, G and B values (Red, Green and Blue) each to 255. Then close the Color Picker by clicking OK:
Click inside the document and add your text. I'll type the word "GOLD". Don't worry that the text is too small. We'll resize it in the next step: To accept the text, click the checkmarkin the Options Bar:
To resize the text, and move it into the center of the canvas, go up to the Edit menu and choose Free Transform: Then resize the text by clicking and dragging any of the corner handlesthat appear around it. But this is where we run into a difference between Photoshop CC and CS6.
Now that we've added the text, we're ready to start turning the letters into gold. In the Layers panel, make a copy of the Type layer by dragging it down onto the Add New Layericon at the bottom: A copy of the Type layer appears above the original: Clean up your Layers panel in Photoshop with these essential tips!
To turn the text into gold, we'll use Photoshop's layer effects. And the first effect we need is Gradient Overlay. We'll use it to add some gold colors to the letters. Still in the Layers panel, make sure the "GOLD copy" layer is selected. Then click the Layer Stylesicon (the "fx" icon) at the bottom: And in the layer effects menu, choose Gradient ...
Photoshop opens the Layer Style dialog box set to the Gradient Overlay options. First, clear away any previous settings you may have used by clicking the Reset to Defaultbutton: And then edit the gradient colors by clicking the gradient swatch: In the Gradient Editor, double-click on the color stop below the leftside of the gradient:
You'll need this gradient again, so save it as a preset. In the Gradient Editor, name the gradient "Gold", and then click the Newbutton to save it: A thumbnail for the Gold gradient appears in the Presetsarea: Click OK to close the Gradient Editor, but leave the Layer Style dialog box open. Here's the text with the gold gradient applied:
