    Hi there ~ THANK YOU. And I really like the first font under “Applied texture:” Can you tell me what that is?

    Best, KL

    @KLM
    Sure, the font is “Sofachrome”.

    nice tuto, where can i download the contours that you used for the glow effect? Thats not standard these flie

    thx for link

    @mike
    What do you mean by “glow effect”? I didn’t use any Inner Glow or Outer Glow. I just added some sparkles with sparkles brushes. You can download them from this place: http://www.obsidiandawn.com/glitter-photoshop-gimp-brushes

    thanks admin, i mean the contours that u used on this picture > https://alt-web-design.com/text-tutorials/images/chrome02d.jpg

    Looks like a flie or something like that ^^ I´ve searched google for a while to find new contours but didn´t find any contour that looks similar to yours 😀

    thx

  6. admin says:

    It is a custom made contour. You can download it here.

    awesome tut. I’m new to Photoshop. What is the best way to merge the adjustment layer with the base layer? I’m trying to add the chrome font I created to a business card I’m working on and it seems to invert the rest of the images when I do this?

  8. admin says:

    @tom
    I’m affraid that merging the adjustment layer with just the base layer won’t work. You need to merge everything together with the background layer. It is the easyest to do by going to Layer -> Merge Visible (or Shift+Ctrl+E) or Layer -> Flatten Image.

  9. mike says:

    thank you very much for the contours!!

    awesome tut 😉

    Nice tutorial indeed. I’m also new to Photoshop so please let me know how to install the plug-ins/filters you link to.

  11. admin says:

    @Esben Slot Sørensen
    Photoshop must be closed when installing new plugins.
    Download your plugin/filter and unzip it. Then copy and paste it to a corresponding folder.
    Find folder on your PC where Photoshop is installed, probably something like: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop.
    There you will find a folder to install plugins: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop \Plug-Ins.
    Presets should be installed in the folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop \Presets, each in its own subfolder.
    The contour I offered for download in this tutorial should be installed here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop \Presets\Contours.

  12. Esben Slot Sørensen says:

    cool thanx. Now, I’ll lean back and wait for a tutorial in glassy fonts 🙂

  13. Jay says:

    Hi. I was just wondering what font you used for “the final result”?

    I used to have it and lost it and cannot for the life of me remember the name.

  14. admin says:

    @Jay
    The font is “Magneto”.

  15. Diana Zinn says:

    Great tutorial. Where can I find the contour you used? it does not appear to be standard in photoshop cs4.

  16. angelo says:

  19. Kristin says:

    I loaded the contour, but it looks nothing like the tutorial. Mine looks nothing like the end result. I’m stumped!

  20. German Jake says:

    Whats the contour that looks like a couple of butterflys?

  21. admin says:

    @German Jake
    As I have already said before, it is a custom made contour. You can download it here .

  22. Nustyl says:

    I downloaded the contours from your link and can’t seem to find the image shown in the “satin” step, am I just missing it or what is the name in the list?
    if it’s custom how can I create it?
    also I can’t seem to get the sharp clear image like you have as a final result.
    I’m new to photoshop and I’m learning as I go all help is greatly appreciated

    Thank, Nu

    Hi. I see that you don’t update your blog too often. I know that writing
    articles is boring and time consuming. But did you know that there is a
    tool that allows you to create new articles using existing content (from article directories or other pages from your niche)?
    And it does it very well. The new articles are high quality and pass the copyscape test.
    You should try miftolo’s tools
