Create an empty layer and place it underneath the barrel layer.
Fill the layer with a light-grey color using Shift + Backspace.
Add a Filter Layer > Adjust > Desaturate above the barrel layer.
Add another Filter Layer > Adjust > Curve Adjustment.
With the "Curve Adjustment" selected, press F3 to open the filter layer and adjust the curve. The darker areas of the roughness map represent a shinier result, while white is more glossy.
If you're happy, Export the image at the same location as the barrel_albedo file. Disable transparency since we don't have any.
