Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 10:41 pm

Gold texture can be used for various purposes in Photoshop. You can use it to add a gold effect to an image, or use it as a background for text or other elements.

You can also use it to create a gold textured brush.

To create a gold textured brush, first create a new Photoshop document and add a gold texture to the canvas. Next, select the Brush Tool from the Tools palette.

In the brush options bar, select a soft round brush and set the size to 100 px. Then, click on the button next to the word “Mode” and select “Multiply.” Finally, paint over the area you want to be gold with your brush.

PRO TIP: Gold texture in Photoshop can be tricky to use. If you’re not careful, it can easily end up looking fake or overdone. Here are a few tips to help you use gold texture in Photoshop:

1. Use a subtle texture. Too much gold will look gaudy and fake.

2. Use a light hand when applying the texture. Again, less is more.

3. Avoid using gold texture on large areas of your image. It’s best used as an accent.

4. Be careful with the colors you use alongside gold texture. Too much contrast can make the gold look unnatural.

To add a gold effect to an image, open the image in Photoshop and select the layer you want to work with. Then, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation.

In the Hue/Saturation dialog box, move the Saturation slider to the right until the image has a golden hue. You can also experiment with the Hue slider to change the color of the gold.

If you want to use a gold texture as a background for text or other elements, open the image in Photoshop and select the layer you want to work with. Then, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels.

In the Levels dialog box, move the middle slider to the right until the image is lightened. Next, go to Edit > Fill and fill the layer with white. Finally, add your text or other elements on top of the gold background.

Gold textures can be used in many different ways in Photoshop depending on what effect you are trying to achieve. You can use them as brushes, backgrounds or even as adjustments layers to change colors. With so many options available, experimentation is key in order understand how best to use them in your own projects.
