    Will someone schooled on Photoworks decypher this instructional phrase
    for me please? This is in regards to a "Trick for rendering chromium"
    tutorial, by M. Wilson, posted on another Forum.

    "Model, Set to black the color of the Chromium parts".

    Thank you,

    I haven't looked up the tutorial but chrome would be black in color
    with a very high reflectance of >90% - if it weren't black it would be
    too bright I think?

    - if it weren't black it would be
    If it weren't black, it would show some of the color you applied.
    Black = absence of color.
    Real chrome is like a mirror - to make good chrome, set material color
    to black.
