How to Turn Anything into Gold in Photoshop

In today’s Adobe Photoshop tutorial I’m going to show you how to turn anything into gold using this simple combination of Photoshop filters and tools.

  1. Wow. So many steps, I can’t remember 10% of them. How long does it take to be this good at PhotoShop?

  2. Nice! I was just wondering how to create a realistic metallic effect for objects. I have a client who wants his face to be turned to gold for his album cover and was having a hard time achieving the look and finding a tutorial. Thanks Chris! Cheers!
