利用PS制作军功章

新建图层，并命名为“饰带”，使用举行选框工具，在顶部状态栏设置样式为“固定大小”，宽“100像素”，长“75像素”，在图层正中建立选区，并填充颜色（#D70000）。

按照上述方式分别创建蓝（#000FD7）白（#FFFFFF）两个矩形，效果如下。

编辑 >> 定义图案，将纹理文件导入成Photoshop图案。双击“饰带”层设置混合模式。

将得到如下效果：

创建新图层并命名为“吊杆”，设置前景色为“#9F9F9F”，选择16像素铅笔工具，设置不透明度为“100%”，硬度“100%”，在如下位置绘制两个圆。

用10像素的直线连接两个圆。

设置吊杆层混合模式：

Extra shadowing can be added with the Burn Tool (O). Use a 15px brush set to highlights at 20% exposure and brush along the outer edges of the bar. It should now look something like this:

The Medal

We finally get to the medal itself. Create a new layer and name is "medal." Open up the Custom Shape Tool (U) and select the "Sherriff's Badge" from the shape dropdown menu.

Again using the foreground color of 9F9F9F, hold Shift, and draw the background of your medal.

Position the sherriff's badge shape a few pixels below the metal bar. Now go back into the bar connect the two objects using a pencil of 3 or 4 pixels.

At this point your layers window should look like this:

Open up the medal layer's blending options and use the following settings:

Gloss Contour settings:

Now open up the Burn Tool (O), set the brush to 50px and an exposure of 20%, and burn the upper right half of the medal. Now switch to the Dodge Tool and, using the same settings as the burn, dodge along the lower left portion of the medal. If done correctly, this will give the medal a nice shiny gleam:

Zoom out and burn/dodge to taste. From there you can add whatever emblem of symbol your heart desires, or just leave the medal as flat metal. Here's what I came up with:

Final Thoughts

You can use this method with other colors, shapes, and patterns to create any type of medal you want. Here are some examples:
