    Default How to do "movie-style" golden titles (LotR etc)

    Making a "Movie-like" golden title text

    NOTES:
    a. I have a Swedish version of Photoshop (corrections welcome).
    b. Many effects are resolution dependant and dependant on the size of the text! I have used a 70pt text. I always use CMYK documents but the tutorial work good on a RGB as well.


    1. WRITE THE TEXT
    Important: Use 100% black color on your text.
    Note: I think this tutorial works best on all capital letters but could be used on any graphic elements (as long as you use black).

    2. SELECT TEXT LAYER
    Select (click) the text layer (advanced option: put all text layers in a layer group and add the layer style to the group)

    3. BEVEL AND EMBOSS
    Layer> Layer style > Bevel and emboss
    choose: Inner bevel (?)
    Choose: Chisel Hard (?)
    Bits: 250%
    Size: 20px
    Angle: 120
    Height: 40
    Highlight: 100% raster / white
    Shadow: 70% multiply /dark redbrown

    4. Then pick "texture" Choose: Gray granite (?)
    Scale 100%
    Depth: +25%

    5. COLOR OVERLAY
    Layer> Layer style > color overlay
    Pick " Color overlay": I used C:0 M:28 Y:96 K:0 (or RGB: R:255/G:190/B:30)

    6. SHADOW
    Layer> Layer style > Shadow
    The shadow: 100% multiply a very dark redbrown color.
    Size: 43 px
    Grain: 18%

    I always liked that text effect in the LotR title. Thanks for sharing this.
