    Redofcolor got a reaction from John Rostron in Making Metal Shiny - Editing Tips???   
    It's for marketing purposes/ what my boss wants me to do. If we had the space I would be able to set up a proper studio to photography the items with that shine naturally.  But I don't so I work with what I have, editing software and a backlog of old photos I need to edit.  
    Either way it is not a waste of time for me and I appreciate the help from others in learning new skills in editing rather than being told not to bother.  It is never a waste of time to learn a new skill and gain knowledge.

    The best way to achieve a shiny surface IMHO is with a conical gradient using a mix of lighter and darker bands against a silver background.

    Hi,
    You can use different adjustment layers to accentuate some parts and get some light areas lighter and shinier.


     
    Using a brush and painting in black/grey on the mask of the adjustement layers will help you to decide wich part need to be highlighted and which don't.
    Another trick is to use the blending mode.

    Hre some rought examples, done with more finess you can achieve better results.
     
    Have fun
