Hi Homer, Welcome to Carrara. What you'll actually need to do is create some multiple photoshop files to be used in different channels in the Shader Room. For example, the full color label that you've already done would go in the color channel. However, you'll need another photoshop file for the foil that only reveals what is shiny and reflective. Just like masking in photoshop, you create masks for use in Carrara to reveal certain visual aspects of the shader. The same mask that reveals the highly reflective foil would probably also be used in the bump channel to help push the foil off of the label just a bit. It's pretty fun to do. You can get as sophisticated or as simple as you want. Post back if you need more clarification. Mark
