Brushed Metal Texture Photoshop Tutorial
Man a brushed metal texture in Photoshop
There is a little nostalgia in this tutorial for me. This is one of the first tutorials I ever wrote and it was the effect that inspired me to start writing tutorials. Read about it here on the PhotoshopCAFE history.
I have recently updated the screen captures, but the effect still works today the same way it did 25 years ago!
Step 1
Select the gradient tool by pressing “G” Now set the tool to linear gradient in the Gradients Palette. I chose the copper preset. Take your mouse to the top left and click and drag to the bottom right.
Step 2
This has now created a gradient fill
Step 3
Filter>Add Noise your image should look grainy like this. Select Monocromatic so that strange colors are not added.
Step 4
Almost done, now go to filter>blur>motion blur. Set angle for 0 and distance to taste.
Step 5
To change the color: Hue/Saturation, Ctrl/Cmd +U. Slide the Hue slider to get differant colors.

Thanks for this tutorial! Instead of just applying the hue/saturation, create a hue/saturation adjustment layer. This gives you the ability to go in and adjust the effect later if you need.
Thank you!
