help creating a carve?

[cabman67]

i down loaded a couple harley pics and was looking forward to carving them but i have a problem:all the chrome gets carved deep and makes parts disappear namely the forks and handle bars any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,Dan

thanks but i tried that and the chrome still shows up white so it gets carved to deep so it looks like a bike with the front wheel just sitting out front.
i've also tried inverting the colors
