Should any of you want some tweaks made to these user bars, please let me know.
Tyler, thanks for appreciating what I do in general. As for the gloss effect, the tools I'm using to create these either don't have that ability, or I'm not aware of them. I do some blurring or sharpening from time to time, but that's just about it. It's part of the reason I slapped "Moderate Quality" into the title. I saw ones like GMG|, OSI-, RoS, etc. then made a few of my own and for others when people started wanting them, but I'm not quite able to reproduce those.
"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
