I would like to use a black layer as a background. The black I used to fill the layer has a dull finish. What do I do to give it a bit of a shine.

Thanks

You may want to be a bit more descriptive concerning what you need. Maybe an example photo that shows something like you are looking to achieve. Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

You are right but I just can't seem to duplicate what I'm looking for. Yesterday I moved a layer with a black background and expanded the background. When I filled the new section with black it had a slightly different shade, gloss, shine than the original. The only way I compensated for that was by cutting and pasting over the new section. I know that there must be a way of putting a slight shine on the black background but I can appreciate that this request is hardly as clear as it might be.

Thanks for you timely response.

black backgrounds absorb light unless gloss to reflect, or hit hard with light, really need an image to work with
