Wonderful POTD, Mike! Great sharpness and depth of field. I, too, am interested in learning about the graduated filters in PS. What version of PhotoShop do you need to use these filters? Congratulations on your excellent POTD! #3486103Michael Wehrman October 22, 2006
Hi thanks for all the interest. This is how I made the simulated graduated color filters first go to layers and create a gradient fill layer I used a Linear from black to clear then changed the black to a dark color of your choice. Second change the mode to overlay and change the opacity to suit.Hope this helps #3486333Deanna L. Nichols October 22, 2006
yes, that helps. thanks! #3486764Sherry Karr Adkins October 23, 2006
