Hi experts

I want a dark green gloss door with a brass knob.

I have got the right colour geen but don't know how to make it look gloss.

I assume I do the knob a brass coloured yellow but how do I make it shine like metal?

I'm using Photoshop 3 elements

Thanks 

Jane

Hi Jane,
  can you post a  picture of the door? I'll have to think about this one. A very interesting challenge indeed.

Hi Jane,
Wow, that’s a mighty tiny bit of door you’re talking about. The brass knob is no big deal. With this tiny size the best we can do is use the curves adjustment layer and push and pull those curves till you get the desired effect.

As far as the glossy door goes, you really haven’t got much to work with there. What I suggest is look at the PM’s front door and you can see distorted reflections. If you place another image over the door and reduce its opacity and add a slight gaussian blur also adjust the brightness you should start to get that high gloss look.
