How to create shine effect with out photoshop
 

or... Is there someone out there that has photoshop and can.
I have attached a work in progress and the original file.

I am trying to create a shiny button type banner to go in a site that might use this template. http://www.trial.mlweb.co.uk/1stcall/

Since I don't have photoshop only fireworks I'm struggling with creating a nice effect. One for Jon or BR methinks...

Can't work out how to just use the shape of the first one yet...

Do you mean a bevel? Or a nice, shiny effect? I'll see what I can do with my gradients. :)

Err... what size do you need it to be? The same size as the third image you attached?

Same size as the thrid image, struggling to find a good example pic to show you.

I was also thinking of having a flash effect similar to the one showing the picture here http://www.castlegreen.co.uk/ where the picture is 3/4 wited out moving and becomes clear ion the final 1/4 of the header .

And yes its the same size as the 3rd image in the OP.

Coggy, the first 2 images are the parts i'm using to create a header the size of the 3rd. I do have bevel and emboss functions but its the multi gradients that create the gel/ glass effect that I'm looking for.

A bit light (Refferring to the 1st image), Its the material effect I'm trying to get. Like its under a sheet of glass or clear enamel. Latest working attached.

Here it is in its glory, need to work on the logo a bit more. I think the client might have one I can use.

Personally, i like the second and third ones, but the rest are closer to your original spec.
