To create the gold text, we’ll use Photoshop’s layer styles, and we’ll create our own custom gold color gradient! We’ll even add a few sparkles to the text using one of Photoshop’s brushes to make our gold letters really shine. I’ll be using Photoshop CC but every step is fully compatible with Photoshop CS6 and with earlier versions of Photoshop.

🔥 WHERE ARE THE ASSORTED BRUSHES IN PHOTOSHOP CC 2018, 2019 OR 2020?
Adobe made changes to the brushes as of CC 2018. If you’re using a newer version of Photoshop, watch https://youtu.be/ZcpkttU1qLY to load the brush you need for this effect.

  2. Wouldn't it be easier to click on the color box for the black background while in the "New Document" window? Also, shouldn't the document be converted to a "smart object" to be able to make changes without recreating the effects all over again?
