1) Create a new Layer on top of the image.

2) Select the area you want "shinny."

3) Fill it with a White-to-Transparancy Gradient.

4) Drop the Opacity to (I'm guessing) around 10-20%.

hehe, yeah, pretty much the same way as in psp then

[lostsoul]

howd you make amazing bakgrounds like that? do u use PSP cos if you do i would love to know how you make things like that

[admin]

Thanks, lostsoul

Yeah. I made them all in PSP. Basically, they are done with brushes and different effects. Mostly playing around with effects until I get the desired results. Here is a tutorial that Mahud made that helps with different effects. Hope that can help you out, too.

[lostsoul]
