Gold Gradient Text Effect

In this gold gradient text effect Photoshop tutorial, you will learn how to create a stunning rose gold text effect using gradient map and rose gold gradient. This Photoshop effect is fully editable so you can customize fonts, text, and color in seconds!

Use this gold gradient effect as a template to use any time you need a super shiny metallic effect. Make sure to scroll down to the yellow box below to grab the rose gold gradient I used in the tutorial. If you’re following along you will need to install this Photoshop grd. file.

Set Up Layer Styles

In section one, you will learn how to set up the base text so that you get the maximum shine possible. Here we will add a gradient overlay that will be the base for the gradient map color we will apply later on.

Create Texture

In section two, I’ll show you how to create a texture and how to apply it to specific areas of the text to give you more control of the design.

Apply Color

Finally, this is the icing on the cake! We will apply a gradient map over the base text effect and watch the magic happen! I’ll also show you how to adjust the base text layer styles to apply color in specific areas so you get the exact details you want for your rose or gold gradient text.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON SOFTWARE AND TOOLS:

To get the same effect I achieved in some videos you will need a drawing tablet. You can get some inexpensive tablets. These are the two that I personally own, both are very good drawing tablets.
