Wow...great offer, Chris! :)

[ldg40]

Very generous Chris! C'mon Lexus, finish your homework and make up an avatar! I wanna see the tutorial too! :)

[Dave]

Step 1) Take one King Midas ....

Ages ago I remember seeing one on gold embossed lettering (in PSP 5 or 6)!

[Maiden]

I'm interested in having a look at such a tut should one ever come about, so hey Lexy...get that av happening dude ;)

[Lexus]

Im on it

Ok, done, its a temp till my ipod is done updating

[Chris49]

Cool, Lexus your now one step closer to a shiny new tutorial ;)

[Lexus]

i have entered a contest, the freestyle one

[Chris49]

[QUOTE=Lexus]i have entered a contest, the freestyle one[/QUOTE]

Well I suppose I better get started then. :)

[ldg40]

Awesome avatar Lexus!

[Chris49]

[color=red]Warning[/color] The following is a preview

I'm coming up with some real good stuff. It's looking more and more like a one of a kind tutorial by the time I'm done, Well at least I hope so :D
so this is where I'm at so far-

[Dave]

keep your hands of me Midas!

[Jaygre]

Lookin good, Chris - Dave, we could make Marvin gold - hmmm. Can't wait for the tut. :)

[Chris49]

[QUOTE=Dave]keep your hands of me Midas![/QUOTE]

you stole the thought right out of my head Dave :D

[ldg40]

Oh Chris you are sooo good & over-the-top generous!

[Lexus]

Aahh, what brilliance, can't wait for the tut, in the mean time, i'll just try and attempt it again

Here is a half and half of Gold and silver that i have tried, using 'Curves' and 'Hue and Saturation'

the gold doesn't work, but the silver i feel is on the right tracks, but i feel its just not right

[Chris49]

Yeah the silver is on the right track but That gold looks a little bit like butter :D :D Your probaly only two or three stepes away form it. It's all ways fun to try and figure a way to do it on you own IMO :)

[Lexus]

[QUOTE=Chris49]That gold looks a little bit like butter :D :D [/QUOTE]

Well, thats one more thing i now know how to do! :D

How did you manage the gold then? Or will i have to wait untill you have finished the tutorial

[Dave]

mix #dece64 with black in a metallic effect .....

[Chris49]

WAIT MUHHHAA HAHAA

basically it has to do with a specific type of curve and using a color adjustment tool to your advantage

[Maiden]

I'm looking forward to having a go at this tut Chris....so far lookin good TY!*cheesy grin*

One fantastic thing about this site is one can learn so very much on the way :)

[Rupuze]

Have you tried this:
1 make your selection
2 Ctrl/J to copy selection on its own layer
3 Image>Adjustments>Gradient Map
4 Click on down arrow next to color box and select “gold”—(if gold isn’t there, click on the right arrow and a drop down menu will appear, select Load Gradients. Choose “Metals”)
5 then go to Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast—play with the settings until you like the way it looks.

Hope it helps.
