B1-66ER Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Is there any effect that will give my photos gloss finish? I can kinda do it w/o an effect but it's not quiet as good though. Could someone make an effect to do such a thing or link me to it if it already exists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Can you provide a "before" and "after" example of what you want the effect to do? Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1-66ER Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Here's what I mean: I want an effect that will turn a simple image with a basic matte finish like this...: Into one that look's Glossy or should I say shiny like this when it's used on the photo.

I'm sure a lot of people would love it. If I knew how to make plugins i'd definetly do it but I lack the knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1-66ER Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Okay...you see the difference of the 2 red photos I posted above right? One of them has a matte finish and the other with a gloss finish which makes it look all nice 'n shiny. I don't know how to do it myself & I would be very very, VERY happy if someone could take the image in my signature and add the same effect. I assume it can be easily done with Photoshop. Can someone do it for me please. .....Ummm...pretty please with sugar on top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1-66ER Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Could you make it w/o the black border & I want it to be rounded on the lower corners as well as the top ones like the glossy red pic I posted above. Please & Thanks again, Ash. I very much appreciate it. Also did you do it with Paint.net or Photoshop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yata Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Please don't use that many exclamation marks. Open the image Make a new layer. Draw a rounded rectangle that's filled in with black on the new layer. Use the magic wand to select the black rectangle. Switch to the picture layer Press ctr I to invert the selection Go back to the rounded rectangle layer Select it using the magic wand. Switch to the picture layer Select the gradient tool Set your primary color to white and give your second color a alpha value of 0 Draw a linear gradient from the top to the center Done.
