chrome look ...
(OP)
... I really don't know how to do this. Bascily, I can imagine my design in my head, but trying to get it into PSP is proving a little more difficult 
Basicly, I want to do some chrome lettering, but how doI go about this? Can anybody recommend a tutorial? I certaily don't want to copy anybody's designs, but if you have a look at http://www.laserlines.com and go into the enhanced site, you'll have a bit of an idea of what I'm after. I know that it's done in flash, but I'm sure it's possible to do this in an ordinary image too?

Here is one that uses Eye Candy which come bundled with the latest version of PSP or can be downloaded for free.

It hasn't been updated in about 2 years, but the tuts are still quite good!
RE: chrome look ...
as it happens, I already found that one after I done a search on google. I have to say, although I didn't know it wasn't updated in 2 years, I thought it was pretty good. It's the one I'm using right now and I'm pretty pleased with the result. The only thing is that some of the menu items have changed slightly, but I was still able to find them easily.
RE: chrome look ...
1) Start with a 16m colour. Put some white text on a white background (large font sizes work best - make sure floating an antialias are selected).
2) Go to Selections|Modify|Feather- Set feather to 10. Then make the foreground colur red 255, green 0, blue 0 and the background colur red 0, green 0, blue 255.
3) Flood fill the selection using Linear Gradient with the direction set to 180 degrees.
4) Change the foreground colour to red128, green 128, blue 128 and the background colour to white. While the text is still selected choose Edit|Clear
5) Go to Effects| 3d Effects|Cutout with the following settings
Fill wih interior colour - yes, Interior colour set to foreground, shadow colour set to background, opacity 255, blur 0, offset horizontal 4 vertical 4
6) Go to Selections|Select None. Then change the foreground colour to white.
7) Effects|Artistic Effects|HotWax Coating then Effects|Sharpen More then Effects|Sharpen
