1. Add a new layer and use the line/curve tool to draw a white line where the boundary of the gloss will be. Make sure your line goes all the way across the image. You can delete the extra later.

2. Use the paint bucket tool to fill in the area above the line with white.

3. Use the gradient tool set to transparency mode to make the gloss fade vertically. Make sure the boundary is still visible.

4. Adjust the opacity of the layer as needed (in the layer properties)

5. Select the original layer and use the magic wand tool to select the area outside the object, then select the gloss layer again and press the "delete" button on your keyboard.

Dear pdnnoob can you please do me a favor if you can provide me with any of the one sample PSD file for it as suggested will be more helpful.

 

Thanks in advance

Try this:

 

1. Set primary color to white.

 

2. Set secondary color to fully transparent.

 

3. On a new layer above the text, drag a thin reflected linear gradient out over the text.

 

How does that look?
