Adjusting the light is especially tricky and depends heavily on the geometry. To use it maximally one must understand every setting. Photopea hasn't custom edge contour curves like Photoshop, but there are still many usable presets. It makes the borders between color and transparency look extruded to 3D and rounded or chiseled.

Of course this works with any shapes, it's not "text only". Whitening and darkening opacities are turned to much less than 100% to keep the colors visible. That color was pasted as a new layer and it got Bevel&Emboss. Here the selection was used to cut a piece of color. One can make a selection with text by clicking the text icon in the layers panel and holding Ctrl at the same time. Here's an attempt to cut the text from a blurred colored piece and apply Bevel&Emboss: Even some blurred random gold samples can be good. For better results cut the text from a golden gradient or from a photo of gold. Turn it to more red, then it looks too orange. We can try to make gold with it:īevel&Emboss for fake 3D appearance works well, but this single yellow text color doesn't make it. There's (still) free web service which imitates slowly but otherwise succesfully many Photoshop's functions.

Photoshop costs money, but that's no problem. With strong chiseled Bevel&Emboss it has quite extreme contrast which jump out on a greyish background: Bevel&Emboss itself can create enough lightness variations for many purposes - just one example: Here's white text. In small items one doesn't expect visible reflected environment details, gradients are often enough. Highly polished gold needs as well color and reflections. But to make it glossy it needs heavily distorted environment reflections. In addition they insert color variations for greater plausibility - gold gradients or even a photo of gold to be used instead of a single solid color fill. You'll find easily numerous gold making receipes which use that effect. Metallic writing is easiest in Photoshop because it has layer style Bevel&Emboss which your examples seem to use.
