Does anyone here know a good way to make images shine/bulge like the iphone icons do - or something similar. I am currently using GIMP, but can use other programs.

Thanks in advance.

Jasc paint shop pro has 3d effects that do what you're asking (if i'm understanding correctly), such as buttonize, cutout, inner/outer bevels among plenty of other effects that could easy transist the graphic into a highlight.

Unfortunately, unlike gimp, it's not a free piece of software, but cheaper than a lot of professional media editing software out there considering its capabilities :)

I've always found it hilariously strange that the GIMP has a built-in filter for adding a coffee stain to your image but no inner bevel support at all.

This tutorial might be what you're looking for.

I think your referring to it as "shine/bulge" may have hindered your own google search :)

Yes, that last one is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks
