Hi guys and girls, today im showing you how to make metal interfaces so that you can apply them anything you want desktops backgrounds or youtube backgrounds.

This is pretty easy to do once you know what to do after a while.



First what you want to do is make a shape to do the metal interface.

Open photoshop and make a new file.

Make sure the size is reasonable I would say 500x500 and use a shape or pen tool your own shape.

If you pen tooled yours then right click and click fill path then click ok.

You should have a shape or a pen tooled shaped that is filled like this.

Then you want to go to fx and pattern overlay. Find your metal background and apply it to the shape, it should look like this now.

The scale I used was 30%.


Now you want to go back to fx then gradient overlay and use this gradient colour.

Click ok and then turn down the opacity to 75%. The shape should look like this now.

Now you want to use a inner shadow. Go to fx then inner shadow and use the settings I used .
