Here, mine. Not that hard.

What i did, was when you press the pink box to get the selection from the channel, you invert it, cause it just selects blank space if you dont >_>

Did you apply the gradient before or after you merged the layers? The reason I'm asking is this. You see that little box under your canvas where it says 'Selection Mask copy'? It looks like you don't have the tube selected, but the mask.

Okay, I'll try it again from scratch...

This time, I'll add the Gradients BEFORE I merge the layers, and I'll take Shockdrop's tip under consideration...

I'll edit this when I'm done...

Do your merge first. Alpha to selection. Add new transparent layer. Apply gradient on the new layer.

Yeah, thats right.

And i made a black line, then a white line beside the black one on a new layer, and set ti to overlay, then duplicated it and changed opacity by 25.

Looks like you're on the right track, now! Instead of dragging from left to right to apply your gradient, go up and down. Start about two thirds of the way down the selection and drag down to the marching ants.

D'oh! Had to shift brain cells for a minute. Add another shine layer just like you did the first one. Put your text underneath this layer and play around with the opacity for both of them. That's how I got Wilbur in the glass here:

I'm gonna have to leave you on your own now. I gotta go make a Dr. Seuss hat! (Don't ask)

Your results look great! Not just for tubes either, but anything shiny and smooth I guess...
I will be trying this one out tonight!

To post pics, you need to register for an account (its free) with Imageshack or Photobucket.
Upload your pics to thier site (thats easy.. you just click BROWSE select the picture you want from your hardrive and SUBMIT it
then when you post here, copy and past the Image URL that the host supplies you with.

Bingo! Your image should appear!

This was my first Attempt..Didn't turn out so well. =\

Anywho, You might want to mention the fact you need to downlaod that Script-fu at the beghinning of the tut, because you have to restart gimp to get it to work, so I lost my first attempt at the tube. -.-

Very nice tut. However I hit a small bump. I'm just trying to get the same "curve" on both sides to be the same. You said use the "move" tool and put in on the opposite side. I cannot do that. After I cut the area on one side, the selection I had dissappears so I cannot bring it to the other side. I know I must be doing something wrong, so can anyone help? Thanks.

Never mind, I got it. Here are my results

I'm not sure which one I like better. (I realize I mess up on the top a little, but I'll change it later, too late right now).
