Duotone Sepia Image in Type Glowing Type

Isolating Highlights and Shadows in an Image

Working with Select > Color Range

I selected two photos with blown-out highlights,

one photo in which I worked with the midtones,

and, finally, of course, one in which I worked on the shadows (and the highlights, too).

Understanding Levels

Creating Duotone Images

I'm not sure that I understand the attraction of Duotones, outside of a print environment where you can choose exactly one spot color. Nonetheless, I worked through, but when I got to adding the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, I had to reconvert the image to RGB (without flattening). Here's the result:

Quick and Easy Sepia Images

The biggest problem with this one was finding Color Fill on the Adjustment Layer menu. In CS3, this is called Solid Color on the menu and Color Fill when it gets to the Layers palette.

Using the Texture Grain Filter to Create a Paper Texture

Some effects I've gotten with this, notes are for me to remember later.

Just basically following the directions in Lesson 3.
Following the directions as above, with Filter>Sketch>Notepaper 25/10/11 on a layer above; blend mode set to Multiply.
Filter>Texture>Grain soft/43/50 Add Gradient adjustment layer ForetoBack/Linear/90/100; blend mode at Color Burn On Layer Mask of adj layer, apply ForetoBack gradient, bottom to top
Noise 13/Gaussin/Monochrome New Layer; Texture/Grain/43/50/Clumped; blend mode Darker Color Hue/Sat adjustment layer Colorize/0/25/0
As above, but with adjustment layer at Colorize/291/81/-1
As above, but on the Texture Grain layer, apply Filter>Brush Strokes>Crosshatch 9/6/3 and change blend mode to Multiply. Alter adjustment layer to 291/17/-1.
