Phil Sutters' photos with the keyword: chrome

I have often used the Photoshop Elements 'glass button' effect to create a chrome finish. This is usually done near the end of a picture. This time I wanted to see what would happen if I made an initial shape and then chromed it, made copies and reshaped them. The rectangular grid was made by making a long thin rectangle and copying it and connecting the copies together. That was then chromed and copied. The copy was then given the wave form in 'Distort/ Sheer' A second copy was turned into the fan shaped in 'Distort / Polar Coordinates'. The three parts were then aligned and the layers merged, copied and the two copies placed facing each other. The chrome effect seems to have come through the process OK although some of the shading and reflections are technically in the wrong places.
