I dunno how to make an animation.   :ouch:

Here's a little tut for ya:

 

1. Open a 256px by 256px transparent backgrounded document.

 

2. Make a perfect circle of any color by either using Elliptical marquee Tool (M) or Ellipse Tool (U).Name this layer as Cirlce.

 

3. Go to the Blending Options of Circle layer and set these values:

4. Now Ctrl+Click on the Circle layer to load its selection and go to Select>Modify>Contract.Type 2 and hit enter.

 

5. Without deselecting, create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) and name it Gloss.Select Gradient Tool (G) and make White as your foreground color.Set these settings in the Option Bar:

6. Now make two radial gradients.One from top and other from the bottom.

Reduce the opacity of Gloss layer to 75%.

 

7. You will get an image like this one:

8. Place any picture or icon (Tux G2 for instance) below the Gloss layer and transform its position/size according to the size of the document.Here is my final result:

My result,on the tiles of two color, looks like this:

and Im sure that it will look better on multiple color wallpapers.

 

Im waiting for your reply and cool results as well :wink:

 

Quick question for Asher....

 

Which version of PS are you using? I tried this tut and couldn't get the settings the same, when I checked the color overlay box it always shows up RED. I double click on the red square and nothing happens so I can't change the color. I'm using Photoshop CS2.

I used PS7 for that , I don't know why CS2 is not letting you to change the color but you can fix it by the method as follows:

 

In the 2nd step , make the circle of white color and in the 3rd step , reduce fill opacity to 20% and not (0%) , after doing this you don't need to enable the Color-Overlay option for Circle layer :wink:

I use CS2 also and I have no problems with the gradient overlay... Sometimes though, if you do not reboot your PC for a while, it can get... (for lack of a better word) "tired".  If you tried that after running your computer for a while, try rebooting it and doing it again.

The problem exists with the Color-Overlay option which I mistyped as Gradient-Overlay in my last reply :he: but now I have fixed it :smile:

Lol well that either... Might need a good rebooting still.  I can use the Color Overlay just as well.
