    Hi all,

    I need to turn a skull and a guitar into a shiney metal guitar and skull. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial on this or give me some pointers? I have scoured the web and it’s all creating metal textures or typeography, going nuts!

    Thanks!

    Annie

    This is much easier than it sounds. Just take your image make it grayscale, then put a color correction curve on top of this. Draw about 3 to 4 tall waves on the curve and it will look like a shiny chrome. If you do not make your image grayscale first, it will look like a thermograph.
