  1. Conditional Hue/Saturation should do the work fast and easy.

    That's what I thought so I downloaded the plugin, but I don't know how to use it. I played with the color wheel and increase/decrease the different levels, and it changed everything except the clothes. :cry:

    If you had posted the image earlier I whouldn't have suggested that plugin, that's because the clothes you want to change the color of was white (the plugin can only change things with color).

    Well, good it's solved at least...

  2. duplicated image

    made it top layer

    drew "shine line"

    filed it with white

    That step will work only with one colored shapes.

    I got another idea that might work:

    I'll start with this, to show how you do with non rectangle shapes (and shapes with more than one color):

    Button01.png

    Duplicate layer, and go to Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast (Ctrl+Shift+C).

    Turn the brightness all the way down and contrast all the way up.

    You shold now have a black shape on the top layer (with the same shape)

    Button05.png

    Invert the layer (Ctrl+Shift+I).

    Now, you'll have to select the part of the gloss you don't want.

    (Draw a line on a new layer and select the area below)

    On the layer that's mostly white by now, delete.

    Then delete the layer you used for the selection.

    The edge will be a bit jaggy, so select an area around the edge (just be careful, you don't want to have the upper corners in your selection), and blur or feather it (don't too much though, just make sure it's kind of smooth).

    Button03.png

    Then adjust the opacity.

    Hope this will help you!

  3. Test this:

    Open the image and add a new layer.

    Button1.png

    Make a white line with antialiasing disabled like this:

    Button2.png

    Fill the upper area with white. Open the "layer properties" and adjust the opacity to your liking (higher opacity=glossier, but it'll be harder to see details if you set it too high).

    Button3.png

    Apply a gaussian blur at about 3-4 pixels to make the edge a bit softer.

    Button4.png

    Hope it'll help!

    This is quite similat to Down's way but I like this better (gives better control of the transparency)
