How To Make Chrome In PhotoShop

Submitted by 3DArty on

This is how I Make something look like its done in Chrome
The steps here where done in just over one hour in PhotoShop.

1:

The background is up to you but to show what ive done
it makes it ezyer to see.

2:

Most Chrome that you see will change as you know depending
on the reflection. So thats one of the things that I found
hard to get around, but if you keep the light blue, the brown,
gray, and white,in there its hard to go wrong.

3:

Now the one thing you can do when you get to the
end of what I have done here is add a photo over the top
of it and bring the-
( Opacity ) of that layer from your photo from 100%
down any where to 5%/10% as a overlay. It can be what
ever you like that would look like it would work in
what you are doing. But do try and find a photo that is
close to your scene,

tools used: BLUR,SMUDGE,PAINTBRUSH,ELLIPTICAL MARQUEE,LIQUIFY,ERASER.

I hope this helps some of you this may or may not be the right
way for this to be done but I find it works well for me. and if you
can see how I have done it. It may work as well for you to.
