In some magazine ads and advertisements, I see that the subject has a nice glowing effect. Can anyone tell me how this is done?
Thanks

Buck,
The "glowing effect" is caused by the reflective nature of the gold or silver jewelry, as seen through the translucent (dye) sublimated image.
Unisub makes jewelry with a white background, which, although the image is much more opaque, doesn't offer the radiance of either gold or silver backgrounds.
The same holds true for sublimated images on gold or silver alum. plates.
