In this movie we are going to take the word SPIDERS, which looks like it might…have been carved out of wood, and we are going to transform it into this kind of…chain metal type, and we will do so by adjusting a few settings of course, as…well as adding a texture to our Bevel & Emboss effect.…I will go ahead and switch back to the image at hand and zoom it on it until we…get to the 100% zoom ratio.…The first we need to do is imbue our letters with a little bit of blue.…And so I am going drop down to the fx icon and choose Color Overlay, which…allows you to paint a layer with a solid color.…
By default, its set to paint your layer red, so it just completely replaces the…contents of the layer, which obviously is not something we want.…I will click of the color swatch in order to bring up the Color Picker dialog box.…And the color I came up with is this one here, a Hue of 215, Saturation 20%, and…Brightness 70%, click OK.…That's still not what we want, because we don't want to just whole-hog replace the colors.…
