How to replicate this...

Well, first time poster and new to PS. As if it wasn't obvious. I use PS 5.5 and have done VERY limited work with it. Most of the stuff that I have done is off of a tutorial on this site.

Now to my reason for posting. I'd like to replicate (both with different shapes and colors) the image below.



Being new to PS I don't even know what to call the effect (aqua???) or even where to begin. If someone could point me to a tutorial or be willing to get me started I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Welcome aboard JoshN

I think that you'll find this tutorial to be what you're looking for. I call the effect "shiny plastic"...

Good Luck! And don't forget to post your results!

How to replicate this...

I don't think I'm doing something right, even though I've redone this several times.

When filling the object the color is in grayscale, not the actual color. I've changed colors and even tried to use the reflected gradient tool (which is what I want). All are in grayscale. (Under the Reflected Gradient Options tab, the colors showing are the correct colors. No grayscale.)

Also, in Step 5, when you Hold CTRL and click on "Layer 1" to select it, I get the error No pixels were selected. At this point I stopped.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong.?

JoshN make sure that you are working in an RGB colour format. From the sounds of it... you're not.

Hi JoshN and welcome to the board

I'm not so familiar with that tutorial, but I bet that you're working in greyscale. Go to image / mode and make sure that RGB color is selected. I have to look at the tutorial first to help you with the other problem.

Too funny G-Man! I've not done that tute myself, but I might be forced to if JoshN runs into more problems...

Now quit shadowing me!
