Dude, fuck my cursors man this is awesome! I see you've found the gradient tool....lol. Addicting ain't it? If you need some gradients lemme know I got a poopload of awesome metals from adobe xchange. It looks really good, my only one sug would be to throw in a bevel behind the red bars and stuff. If you want to have a bevel under the glass but not on the rest of it here's a quick learn me. Make a copy of the object you want to bevel, and add the feature to it, then mask off within that bevel and invert it. then copy the layer with the mask active, and you'll copy only what's selected by the mask. Then paste it, and if done corectly the only bevel you'll see is under the object you wanted. Another technique is to select the object you want the bevel to be under, and expand the mask by 1 or 2 pixels depending on how clean you want the bevel. Then make a new layer and bucket the new one with a light to medium gray. Then you can bevel that. Also to get a really clean bevel I usually set it from 5 to 2, at an angle of 120, then i select down. Make sure you uncheck "global light" or you could run into some probs. If you really wanna be a masochist you can hand paint the bevel in, which is actually essential when dealing with really small images. Anywho I hope this helps you abit. It's truly amazing work to be honest, and an equally amazing feat in the time you've taken to learn the app. FUCKIN OUTSTANDING!
