This is lowkey the best Gold tutorial to ever exist on the face of internet.

The most underrated photoshop tutorial channel on the internet.

Not gonna lie this is the Best tutorial on GOLD effect, i searched a lot for this. Thank you

[nakleh]

You’re a goddamn genius. I’ve been a professional retoucher in NYC since 1999 and I’ve never even thought of half of this stuff!

Speaking as someone who has been using Photoshop since version 3.0, I have to say this is one of the cleanest, most versatile, most effective approaches to gold and metal effects I have ever seen. I also appreciate that you don't waste the viewer's time with a bunch of self-aggrandizing personal branding, get straight to the point and keep the tutorializing lean and concise. Very nice work.

Man, I've been using Photoshop since the early 90s and I gotta say that's the most convincing gold effect I've seen so far.

This IS YouTube's absolute best and most useful Photoshop Channel. Period.

[tonyhoward]

I've done gold text before from watching videos, but, and I'm not trying to put anybody down, this by far is the best gold font/text that I've found

[heroino]

Holy crap! I have just started getting into Photoshop and I've basically been absorbing every tutorial youtube has to offer, but this channel brings me to my knees. I should thank the algorithm for bringing me to you, but I would much rather thank you for making such amazing content!

[RealWizardry]

Spectacular tutorial! This is the best gold I've seen done in 28 years of using Photoshop!

[Dr-Mo]

even after 3 years of sharing this video, it still looks new and flourishing.

[gutobernardo]

Gold tutorials are basically everywhere when we're starting to learn PS, but this is absolutely the ultimate one! Amazing work ❤️

[AlphaProto]

It's wild how solid these text look.
No 3-D modeling required. Just some really cool FX to 2-D text.

Wow! There's quite a number of tutorials on that matter, but yours is the best ever!
