Step 17

Now we’ll do the same for group “3″. Create a new group called “3d shading 3″ and place it in group “3″ between layers “base 3″ and “3d 3″. Cmd/Ctrl + Click on layer “3d 3″ and apply the selection as a mask to “3d shading 3″. Create a new layer called “shading 1″ within this new folder and set the Blend Mode to Overlay. With a large black brush paint some shadow along the bottom edge.

Create a new layer called “shading 2″ and with a large white brush paint a highlight as follows.

Switch the Blend Mode to Overlay.

OK at this stage this is how your image, and your layers should look.

Step 18

Now go back to group "1" and duplicate "base 1" by dragging it to the New Layer button at the bottom of the layers palette.

Open the Layer Styles window for this duplicate layer by double clicking on Gradient Overlay Effect. In the Layer Style window, uncheck the Gradient Overlay and add an Inner Shadow with the following settings.

Right click on the effect itself in the Layers Palette and go to Create Layer. This will separate the effect from the layer, so it will cease to be a layer style and will be a pixel image on a layer of its own. Name this layer "highlight 1."

Now you can delete the "base 1 copy" layer. Nudge "highlight 1" 1px left by pressing the left arrow key, then Cmd/Ctrl + Click on the thumbnail of "base 1" and apply that selection to "highlight 1" as a layer mask by pressing the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of the Layers Palette.

The with the layer mask in place, nudge the layer 1px up and 2px left using your arrow keys. This is to position the highlight right over the corner of our lettering – where the light would be reflecting from. You should now have something like this.

Group the "highlight 1" layer (Cmd/Ctrl + G) and name the group "highlight". Give the group a Layer Mask by clicking on the Layer Mask button. We could work on "highlight 1"s layer mask, but this way it will be easier to correct errors and fine-tune the mask.

With the layer mask selected, using a medium soft, black brush, mask out areas of the highlight folder. Mask any areas that are not on a top-left edge. Here’s how it should look.

Step 19

Repeat this last step for groups "2" and "3" – duplicating the "base" layers, applying the Inner Shadow, then creating a layer from the style then masking it necessary.

OK, we’re getting there, now we want to add some more colors. Create a new folder at the very top of all our layers/groups, and name it "color overlay". Create a new layer within this new group and call it "overlay 1". Set your foreground color to #7c21c8 and select the Gradient Tool (G) with a foreground to transparent, circular gradient. Add a large radial gradient in the bottom right corner, and then set the layer Blend Mode to Color.

Step 20

Now create a new layer called “overlay 2″ and draw another gradient in the top right corner with the color #fee409. Again switch the Blend Mode to Color.

Step 21

Now we want to load a selection that includes all our "base" layers. We do this by Cmd/Ctrl + clicking on "base 1", Cmd/Ctrl + Shift-clicking on "base 2" and Cmd/Ctrl + shift-clicking on "base 3". (editor：photoshop1)
