wow, that's beautiful!

I used a font called Questar

Nice work cecilia! Any font will work of course, but I like more "squared" fonts, especially if you're making smaller chrome letters. The angles tend to alias a bit on the smaller stuff more. Really nice work, congrats.

had some time to give this a go...nice and easy with a fancy schmancy result! The Font is called dodger. I can see how different fonts will produce slightly different results, which is pretty cool.

I saved the color curve in so I don't have to remake it every time I do this: Chrome-Warrior

Hmmm

My precious we need to try ...
The tutorial looks good teaching and rich in images, we should manage to do it, oh yes, we need a time for this, but we have already downloaded the gradient.

The results are also very good, we have to downloading the fonts and try some!

We can not resist my precious ...

Thx The Warrior! :clap :bigthup

By the way, as Oregonian has demonstrated, you can do pretty much anything that's black and white.

Inverted it, got rid of the stem, changed the rose to chrome, then colorfied it red. Reloaded the image, and got rid of the rose, changed it to chrome, and colorfied the stem green. About it really. Nice work btw Wallace.

Aaaa, I see, nice results. You meant colorized, didn't you?

Thanks, I'm familiar with creating this text effect, but never thought to use those Color Map options. They work great! :bigthup
