Okay, so we have a lot of watch photographers here and I want to offer some cool info to all my peeps. Here is a way to simulate stainless steel in Photoshop. Let's say you've shot that great photo, but you're clasp is scratched or you need a section of stainless to fill in somewhere else.
Easy peasy.
Open up a new document in photoshop.
Step 1: Go to FILTER - NOISE - ADD NOISE and bring the amount to around 95% or so. You'll have a grainy colored background. Now click on the MONOCROMATIC check box and everything will become gray.
STEP 2: Go to FILTER - BLUR - MOTION BLUR and set the distance to about 40 or however much is needed to give it a streaked look.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT.
You can also add lighting effects to it to help light it properly. With some practice, you can get quite good at this.
I hope I've been helpful with this and that someone can use this information.
