Shiny and glossy

[Magda]

How do i make my picture look shiny?

Duplicate Layer, use Glow (adjust it until you're satisfied) and erase the parts you don't want to be shiny.

Hi @Magda and welcome to the forum!

 

You can also make a new transparent layer above your image and set the blending mode to 'Color Dodge'.

 

Select the Brush tool and set the hardness to 0%.  In the Palette, select a color between white and gray; the lighter the color, the more 'shine'.

 

On transparent layer use the brush tool (with a selected brush width) on spots that you want to shine.

 

In this example,  I used this technique to highlight all the ridges and make them shiny.

 

                                               

 

Hope this helps!
