Tux, your instructions are great! But the only 2 tons gradient I ended up was #2, so I used that one. I could not figure out how to make it hue-shifted to get the engraved look but I got the rest of it down! Thanks so much, here is what I have so far! Any and all hints and helps are welcome, I still have to add more text and graphics to it.

Looking good, 2-ton! The hue shift is basically a color change toward more a darker copperish gold, rather than a lighter yellow gold. As far as getting an engraved -vs- embossed effect, that is normally achieved by inverting the Bump Map. To me though, it seems the result is dependent on the colors used and the size & shape of the image. More often than not, if I stare at the bump, it becomes an optical illusion, sometimes looking like it's embossed and sometimes looking engraved, kinda like the old wire frame box effect. At times, I can a better engraved effect by creating a darker inner shadow on one side and a lighter outer shadow on the other side (or an overall glow). In the following, I hue shifted and added an inner shadow to the bump mapped text.

I love that wow. How do you get that checkerboard bumped? Or is that a pattern? |

Thanks, Molly. I filled the BG with this pattern.. Attachment: Colorized it, then Bump Mapped it with itself in the Lighting Effects filter . I think I can get better color and shine on the coin with a different emap and extra lighting effects. Silver or copper should work good too.

Well thank you for that. I was trying everything. I put a gradient on to a transparent layer and tried bump mapping it and when I saved it, it wasn't there, of coarse cuz it was transparent. dumb me.

very good... I was working on a copper one but the ridge didn't go around the outside but I was able to stroke the dots, so I am still struggling. Better go get some more coffee first. BTW, I like the second one best. |

Blur the outside edge of the black circle for the bump map, the same as you did with the black rectangle bump map, except maybe not quite as much. |

Thanks Tux, here is the best I could get so far. Not happy with the curve on Canada and I would like the leaf more subtle. Anyway, still working on it.  This is more real so far  |

Well, I originally started my attempt at Gnutux's copper coin image, but.... Somehow, my brain went haywire and I ended up with this...

I have been trying all afternoon to do a nickel. I haven't had any luck finding a suitable enviromap for nickel that is shiny. It just doesn't have the zip that shiny metal has. I used tux's graybackground pattern but I shore don't know how to bump map it. I tried over and over.  Edit: does anyone have any suggestions on how I can achieve this nickel type gradient. The actual nickel wasn't that blue but it did have a very blue cast to it.  I did a little antiquing to see if I can make it realistic but there is still something missing, maybe the text. It is still too new looking.  |
