Using Curves Menu for Plastic Photoshop Text

All right, let's finish up our plastic tutorial here. As we can see, we have it up like so, and with our plastic wrap, it added just that little bit of dimension that we're looking for. So let's go ahead, and first you know what, let's select on our background here, so let's open up our layers, select on our background, and let's hit, let's fill that background with black, oops. Let's deselect that. There we go. Now as we can see, we can see it pop up just a little bit more. So now let's go back up to our, our letters here, and let's go into our curves, and we'll just go into, we'll hit command M and bring up our curves, and we can just play with this just a little bit; see if we can get a little bit more plastic feeling out of this. There we go. Kind of like something along the lines of there. Just a little bit, not too much. Just these fine little adjustments that really bring our piece out, and there we go. I like it like that, and we're going to keep our plastic text there. So there it is, quick and fast. So play around with it, have fun, and enjoy.
