    How could I add glassy effects to gradients. I have:
    Fireworks CS3
    Photoshop CS2
    Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9.

    I love that Web 2.0 glassy effect, so could anyone give me a tutorial....or example PSD?

    Thanks,

    BP

    im not sure if it's exactly what you mean, but to get a glossy effect on user bars, i always make a bg layer. then above that layer i add a white oval across the top half of the picture, and set that white oval to a lower opacity. i'm not sure if you understand what i mean, so look at step 8 on this guys tutorial:

    Take the marquee, select a region on the gradient
    Select the gradient tool and at the top choose the gradient that fades from white to transparent (obviously select white in the color pallete first) then just drag it. Play around with the opacity.
