Hey guys,

I'm wondering if you could help me with something? I'm looking for a filter for photoshop 9.0 CE that will make buttons and etc look glossy. I'm sure you've all seen them some place or another, but web buttons that have that glossy/glass look to them.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!
 
Well there is the gradient map in adjustments but, you may have to make your own custom map. So you might try that.
 
those effects are achieved with no filters. it's a combination of a white, transparent layer above a shape with an inner glow. obviously, the effect can vary with different settings, but that's the basic idea.

 
if your lazy, you can always try the plastic wrap filter, but it's not going to be as nice as the aforementioned methods.
