That's what you should succeed.
Step 12.In the same tab (embossing), skim up and change The size (Size), pull the slider to the right, while the edges of the letters, not bombard in the middle (the author stopped on 16pix.(For its work, I increased to 18 pixes.)).
Step 13.Now change the depth ( Depth) To increase the lighting effect in the letters (the author stopped at 171%).
Now our text, I began to look much better.
Step 14.Then check the checkbox in the tab ContoursThis will give the text an even more metallic look (in the circuit parameters you do not need to be changed).
That's what happens.
Step 15.The last thing we will do before you exit the layer style from the dialog box. This is added Inner glow (Inner Glow.).

Select - Stroke (Stroke.) And set there such parameters:
Step 17.Click the gradient preview area.
In the gradient editor that appears, set the same colors that we set on a duplicate layer with text ( #
F7.EEAD and #C1.AC51.).
As a result, that's what you should get:
Step 18.Now go to the tab Embossing (Bevel and Emboss.) And set these settings (do not forget to put a tick - contours (below embossing)):
You must get this result.
Step 19.The last thing we will do in the dialog box Layer style, I will add External glow(Outer Glow.).

* Exit the diolet window style layer by clicking yes to save all changes *
Around your text, a slight glow will appear.
Step 20.Above all layers, create a new layer Ctrl + SHIFT + N And name it, for example, "shine."
Now we have a new layer in the palette, on which we will draw shine on our text.
Step 21.In order to draw shine. We will need special brushes that are in the standard PhotoShop set.
Select a tool Brush (Brush Tool. (B.)). Right-click anywhere on your document to open the kit set window, click on the loose arrow, right at the top of the window. In the dropping menu, select a set Different brushes (Assorted Brushes.).
After pressing the selected set, Photoshop will ask you: Replace current brushes? Click AddSo that you do not disappear all previously loaded brushes, replaced by a set of different brushes.
Step 22.. Take the tool Pipette (Eyedropper. (I.)) and click on the brightest area yourself on the text to select the color for our glitter (also, with an active brush tool, you can hold the key Alt., and click on the place of which you want to use the color.
Step 23.In the hand tool settings, select, from a previously loaded brush set - Cross strokes4 (Crosshatch).
Step 24.After you have chosen a brush and installed the desired color, being on a new layer, click in several places with a brush. After each click, change the size of the brush using the keys Ctrl + [ or ]
To add more chaoticness.
It turns out an interesting effect, but it is not necessary to get involved in it, since, overloading the image with sparkles, you can spoil the picture as a whole.
If it seems to you that the shine is very bright, then you can reduce the opacity of the layer, as the author did, lowered it to 50%
.
That's what we did in the end:
I hope you liked the lesson, I wish good luck in execution.

Step 2: Make Gold
1. Press the FX layer layers at the bottom and select the Gradient Overlay. Click once in its color to edit. A window will appear with a color school. If you have standard colors (black and white) on the toolbar, then the gradient will be black and white.
On the scale you will see the sliders, it is control Points colors. Click two times the left left slider and select Yellow on the palette (# FFFF00), Fig. 3, in the same way change the ultimate color of the gradient by clicking on the second bottom slider on the right. Set the shade closer to the gold (we took # CC9900), Fig.4. Click OK. In the window with gradient styles, change the style to "Mirror", opacity and scale. Put 100%, Fig.5, click "OK". It should be approximately as on here, Fig.6.
2. Press FX and "embossing" again. Change the method for "hard cut", depth 195%, size 90, Fig. 7, select "Double Ring" for the shine contour and check the box next to the "smoothing" next to the contour, Fig.8. Already similar to Nuboloto. You can still increase the depth of taste.
3. But do not rush to close the styles window, on the left under the "embossed" check the box opposite the "contour".
4. In the same place, in the style window, put a check box before "gloss" and highlight it with the mouse by going to the settings. Select the "Basics Light" mode, register approximately 50%, and the color is bright yellow (# FFFF00), Fig.9.
5. Now select "Shadow", the overlay mode "normal", opacity 100%, color # 999900, offset and scope \u003d 0, size \u003d 6, contour "Double ring" plus "smoothing", Fig.10. That's what happened, fig.11.

2. Activate the "Pipette" tool and take the color sample from the brightest section of the letters.
3. Switch to "brush" with opacity 100% and adjust the tool size.

In this lesson, we will learn how to create gold letters, working with styles in Adobe Photoshop.
As a result of our work, we get such a gold sparkling text:
Step 1. Create a new document in Photoshop: File Menu / New, or Ctrl + N, We specify the size of 640x480 pixels and OK. Background color - black.
Step2. Choose Type Tool. On the toolbar and insert the desired text. The author chose the word Gold. Font "Times New Roman Bold". If the text size does not suit you - edit using the menu Free transform or Ctrl + T.
Step3. Create a duplicate of the Gold text layer using the context menu or combination Ctrl + J. . We will continue to work with a copy of the layer. Gold Copy..
Step4. We ask the Gold Gradient for Text. In the layers window ( Layers Palette) There is a useful button in Photoshop Layer Styles. (Layer style):
Select the overlay of the gradient.
Step 5. The created gradient must imitate gold overflows, so there must be a transition from light gold to saturated gold. In the window editor of the gradients, we set the color of the left marker as in the figure - R: 247, G: 238, B: 173, which corresponds to light gold color (# F7EAD).
For the right marker, specify R: 193, G: 172, B: 81 (# C1AC51). Then click OK, close the editor window.
The result should look something like this:
Here is the result:
Style editor window Do not close, it is still useful.
Step6. The text must be volumetric, for which we use other layer effects. In the style editor window, set the following parameters for Bevel and Emboss (embossing)
so: change the technique (method) on Chisel Hard (rigid cut),
Gloss Contour (outline of gloss) on "Ring Double"
and select the Anti-Aliased option.
Set the size of 16 Pixels and Depth (depth) 171%:
Now the letters became gold.
To enhance the effect, you can add Contour (Contour).
Step7. We will continue to work with the style editor dialog box. Choose Inner Glow (inner glow)
and install such parameters: change the color to orange (R: 232, G: 128, B: 31),
On this we will finish working with a duplicate of the text layer.
Step8. We will continue to work with the original text layer. Click not this layer in the layers palette to make it active.
Click on Layer Styles to get started with the styles of this layer.
Select STROKE and set such parameters for it.
Create a gradient for stroke. To do this, open the gradient editor and for the left marker, set the color R: 247, G: 238, B: 173 for the right - R: 193, G: 172, B: 81. OK.
STEP9. Now you need to configure Bevel and Emboss (stroke) for Stroke.
To do this, in the Stroke Emboss Stroke Emboss dialog box, you need to select Stroke EMBOSS and other settings to configure as in the picture: 
The result should be like that. 
Step10. Now you can add in the Outer Glow style settings dialog box (external glow), R: 183, G: 145, G: 79 color.
Step11. And now we will make the text with sparkling and shining. To do this, add a new layer Sparkles. This layer must be over all layers. Use the brush similar to x, which will choose from Assorted Brushes Adobe Photoshop. 
Color for drawing Select the brightest of all that is in the image. In some places, add a few sparkles, sparkling glare in the Sparkles layer. We make a layer translucent and enjoy the result.
