Brushed Metal Texture Photoshop Tutorial - PhotoshopCAFE

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 13 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.

drag

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.
