...S02E06 - chrome effect...

...this last tutorial im gonna make a chrome effect style using font or logo...

...1st of all...open the path layer on to the wallpaper that u like...ctrl+click the path...

...alt+backspace to fill the color with white...

...go to edit > stroke for 2 copies of the layer and displace them using displacement...

...then use gaussian blur to smooth out the edges...

...go to image > calculation to combine both layers together...

...to make the chrome like effect, go to the channels and with the layer selected, open the curve pallette and make an M curve...u can save it if u wanna use it later...

...this is wat it looks like after the curve adjustments...

...copy and paste it on the layers pallete...


...using any picture as a background...edit the background and mask it out with the logo...


...go to the path layer, make a copy of a new one...free transform and displace it to make a shadow...

...go back to the channels palette, hide all layers except the shadow and the BG...to soften the image...

...using lasso tool, create a shape and use feather effect...


...the use motion blur to give the shadow as real as possible with the lighting positioning...


...the final view after a few adjustments...
