Are you clinging to your seat for the thrilling continuation of our interface tutorial? You
are? Great, then lets go. If you remember last week, we made the shape of our
interface. This week we are going to add depth and texture. We will transform the
boring flat shape to a new and improved chrome one.
Part 1 – The basic Shape
Begin with the shape you created last week.
Make a selection by Cmd/ctrl+clicking on the layer thumbnail
Now open the dreaded channels palette. Don’t worry I will hold your hand and you will
come out safely. (Actually channels really are not that terrifying, they just sound scary)
Click on the new channel button and your shape should appear in an alpha channel.
This is how your shape should look in the main window.
Deselect
If yours is inverted (shape black and bg white), press cmd/ctrl+I
Otherwise lets go on… you did remember to deselect, right?

Filter>blur>Gaussian blur
Click ok.
Now go back to the layers palette and click on layer 1.
Important! Even if you think you don’t need to click on layer 1 do it. (that way, will
make sure you are working in all channels and not just in the alpha channel).
Lets add depth
Filter>render>lighting effects
You will see this big dialog box.
Here is the trick… Under texture channel, choose alpha 1
You should now see some depth in the preview.
Adjust the light in the thumbnail preview by clicking and dragging on any of the 5
points. Try to achieve a pretty even lighting effect without any extreme shadows or
highlights
Click ok

Your layer should now look something like this
We now have a 3d look. Making it chrome is very easy, in fact so easy we are going to
do it now.
Open the curves dialog box. The quickest way is to press Ctrl/cmd+M
If you are totally opposed to keyboard shortcuts then go image>adjust>curves
You will see a diagonal line Click about a third way from the left and drag up. Click
about a third from the right and drag down. Make fine adjustments until your chrome is
looking good. You can see the artwork as you are making the adjustments. If you can’t
see any change on your image check the preview box in the curves box.
Make a quick little color adjustment.

Make a quick little color adjustment.
Image>adjust>hue/saturation cmd/ctrl+u
Click colorize and adjust as shown to produce a slight blue hue to the interface to make
it appear more like chrome.
Add a quick drop shadow and you’re your shape should look something like this.
Yeah, now your getting excited.
Tune in next week for more of my corny humor, I mean for the thrilling continuation of
the interface tutorial. We will be creating a screen and display.
