Chrome
Before I started making sig tags, I would play with fonts and apply effects to them. This is the first tutorial that I did way back in 2005 that taught me how to chrome text. Eye Candy has a nice Chrome Filter, but I still often use the settings from this tutorial when chroming text. It was written for PSP7, but I was able to adapt it for PSP8, and I would think you could adapt it for higher versions of PSP.
I've done a few examples using various fonts, so you can see the difference between thin and fat fonts. If you like the results of this tutorial, then I recommend saving the Inner Bevel and Curves settings as a Preset for those two filters. Read Using and Creating Presets for more information.

I used the same two presets, inner bevel and curves, when I wrote my Gold Bling Text Revised Tutorial. So if you're looking to create color variations for the chrome, you can check out that tutorial.  |

Thanks for this tut challenge, timber. I tried it with a font called Koushin. I colored the fill and ouffset separately using the Adjust/Color Balance/Manual Color Correction using the Woods preset. It gave it a coppery look.

I love  the font your chose, Judy, it's one of my gothic faves! I see you added texture and noise  also. The colorizing looks very pretty! I had another play with this and used You've Got A Point font and the Metal Steel gradient set to Overlay. I really wanted to animate it  but when I did some of the color of the gradient was lost so I left it as PNG. The coloring of the gradient is very subtle but it lightened up the chrome due to the overlay blend mode.  |

 Where do you find the tutorial for the Chrome effect??
Please help...I would love to learn how to make this one.
I have PSP X7 but I don't use it much, mainly PS.
This would be a good start to learn how to work with PSP!
Thank you
