Photoshop CS3: How Do I...

[JustinRiney]

Do any Photoshop experts know how I can get this glaring effect?

Is this manually done or is there a comparable effect in Photoshop CS3 that might do the trick for a logo I'm designing? Also, can anyone suggest a great niche forum for developers and designers that I can refer questions like this to?

Thanks in advance.

I like the plastic effect, but it puts the spotlight in one specific area and the light source shows up on the logo. Is there a way to move the light source with the plastic filter? If I could move it outside of the logo and just use its light, that would be great. I tried simply using a lower transparency for the duplicate layer to phase it out, but it still shows the light source or diminishes it so much that you can't see the effects.

Thanks for your help.
