Create a 3D Appearance for a Key Hole - Photoshop Tutorial

For this tutorial I'm using my "Door Handle" template which can be found in my stores.

The image is 300 DPI and the size is 428x989

If your image is different them mine you'll need to adjust the settings I have to suit your image.

First open the image you're working on.

Draw out yourbasic shape of your Keyhole (1)

Rename your Layer to Key Hole (2)

Make sure your Key Hole layer is active in the Layers Pallete (1)

Go to your Fill and lower this to 0 (2)

You'll notice that the Key Hole has disappeared (3).

We wanted this to happen. It will be back after the next couple steps.

Double click on your Key Hole layer to bring up the Blend Options.

Go to your Bevel & Emboss tab and use the settings I have.
