Welcome to this week's technique from Deke, in which lynda.com author Deke McClelland shows you how to create gleaming gold from ordinary type. And being the noted Photoshop trainer that he is, Deke manages this alchemical feat in under ten minutes.

The details could be a little smoother like the top parts of the letters are kind of unrealistic. I think the best way to make a gold out of letters is Cinema 4d that way it looks more detailed and realistic. Good tutorial though
