    NOTE: THIS IS NOT LIKE THE SHINY IMAGE BLENDING TUTORIAL SINCE MY WAY IS A BIT DIFFERENT AND INVOLVES ONE LESS STEP TO MAKING THE IMAGE SHINY SO I AINT COPYING, BUT ID LIKE TO THANK AVENGED BECAUSE HE REMINDED ME HOW TO MAKE IMAGES SHINY AGAIN!

    1. Open photoshop and open the image you want to make shiny.

    2. Duplicate the picture layer.

    3. With the duplicated filter selected click on filter>blur>gaussian blur.

    4. Set the blur to anywhere between 2.0-4.0 pixels and press ok.

    5. Now change the blend option to hard light. our image should now be shiny!

    6. Press ctrl-E to merge the layer with the original picture layer and you are done!

    Hope this helps some of you. Since its my first tutorial its very very simple. Might fool around with photoshop and come up with some new techniques i hope and write tuts on those. Well enjoy this for now!

    Here is an example of what the picture looks like before and after! Oh and i got the render from a pack i dwnloaded from gr. The person whos pack i got the pic from has been reped by me alread so ya..
