Glossy thumbs?

[LynkX]

ok, I'm new here at GFY. so my apologies if I step wrong or say wrong.
I run a few adult sites, and notice on some of the high traffic TGP's, some have some very erotic glossy like thumbs. how are these created?

I know about cropping and such, but the look of these thumbs are absolutely beautiful.

anyone want to share the secret?

thanks

Perhaps some effects in photoshop, such as bevel and emboss, or using other techniques with graphics programs. Attached is a bunch of photoshop tutorials showing you how to create such effects. However this would take alot longer than other methods.

Yes I'm thinking it is effects in photoshop. I appreciate the link to the tutorials, that is definately a handy page to bookmark.
If you want to see a sample of what i mean, or am asking, just look at the link "How do they do this" in my signature

Thanks

Is this the same thinking as those "Candy" thumbs? Yeah.. I'd like to know how to do that in PS as well. Thx for that link.
