How to turn type into gold with Photoshop! This stepbystep tutorial shows you how to create gold text using Photoshop's layer effects. I also show you how to save your gold text with a transparent background and place it onto a different background.

This update to my original Gold Text video from several years ago includes all of the changes to Photoshop since then, including the brush we need to add sparkles to the gold letters. If you're using Photoshop CS6 or earlier, you'll want to watch the original video:    • Photoshop Gold Text Effect
