Is there a way to create metallic text?

[miss_6329]

This is my first time posting and hope this is the correct section to post regarding A/E.

1. Besides the gradient feature, is there a way to create METALLIC text ?  
2. Secondly, unless I missed it, I want to drop a background into an alphabet frame mockup? Is it possible and if so what are the steps?

Thanks in advance, SHARON

Hi 

@miss_6329

,

Welcome to the community! Thank you for reaching out!  You're absolutely in the right place to ask questions about Adobe Express. For your first point, I'd suggest you upvote and add your comments here- https://adobe.ly/4jSlrzp as this page is being monitored by our product team.

Also, when you say "alphabet frame," do you mean a letter-shaped text frame where you want to insert an image (like masking a background into a letter)? If not, can you please elaborate more on this?

Regards,

Tarun

an alphabet frame .

Hey @miss_6329, You can use the Gen AI features of Adobe Express to create the metallic effect alphabets and also an Alphabet Frame. 

To generate metallic text, go to 'Text' on the left side panel > 'Generate Text Effects' and enter your desired prompt. I've used 'Silver metallic texture'; hit 'Generate', and you'll get multiple options to select from.

To generate an alphabet frame, go to media on the left side panel > 'Generate Image' and enter a prompt. I've used 'frame made of colourful English alphabets', hit generate to get options. 

Once you select the image, you may need to use the Erase feature to remove the center part of the generated image to place an image of your choice.

I've attached screenshots for you to look over. 

Let us know if this helps!

Hi Amitej

I knew about the AI feature however the images and text come out terrible
so I am not going to mess with AI at all especially for logos. Canva has
the frame feature that allows me to drag/drop in a background and I was
hoping A/E did too.

I thank you very much for taking the time to respond
