What do you mean by this? Not sure what you're trying to say.

ohh sorry I think I posted that in the wrong thread in any case, but I was talking about Gmic

well if you didn't solve yet, open a new topic in Help

Trying to copy nixnine's style.

I beveled and used Multiply layer mode for the bevel layer. It comes out dark but the Metallic filter shines it up.

I've attached my zipped xcf file. The paths for every other letter are in the file so it's quick to select whichever letters you want for the metallic filter. It's something to play around with for different settings, etc.

My settings in the metallic filter: Strength: 0.51, Smoothness: 0.37.

Very nice Oregonian

should work well also with Fencepost "lord of the ring" script

Good idea, PhotoComix.

Here are my results. The top one is Fencepost's script which is great. The bottom one I darkened the default text color before taking over to the metallic filter - I used the bronze color there.





Get the script and font:

I'm always interested in metallic look effects, it seems to me there are so few that really work. I'll give this a serious going over later. I have to leave to the optometrist as soon as I post this because I'm an idiot and lost my glasses in the yard.

As soon as you get the new ones, you'll find the ones you lost. Murphy's Law.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I don't now how you guys have your default image set up, but over the years I have discovered that bigger is always better. My default image is 3600X2700 and the font size I use when creating a logo is 1000px. The text used in my earlier posting was just shy of 1000px, effects applied, then scaled down. My strength is set at 1.00 but I don't have an option for smoothness. What gives?
