.PSD request

[zonguy]

Anyone experienced enough with PS7 that can help me with a project file?

I need a realistic "Brass" plaque. I was asked by a friend to create an award collage with some photos, and we want to place labels under 2 images. If we were to spring for some real matting and framing, we would purchase 2 eched plaques, but there is no budget for etching.

I did make an ok blank, using a rectangle and a gradient fill and a translucent layer of gold. I am stuck on how to simulate the eching.

If someone could email me a small .PSD or type out a simple solution, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Inner shadow
Bevel/emboss

all on a layer of text

TRUST me...play with the settings..you shall get it. Im going to bed now...maybe when i wake up i'll show you an example

Thanks for your suggestions. I think it came out quite nicely. I can upload a sample if you would care to critique it for me. I can not seem to do it in this forum though. Let me know how to post/send it, if you are interested.

Thanks again!
