[DaveyBoy]

Or Desaturate

[thebassman]

Yeah, you'll get a better looking photograph if you play with the saturation levels rather just just converting to grayscale...

[DaveyBoy]

i just answered how to get to b/w from colour

[thebassman]

True enough... I was just enhancing your method with further options.

[DaveyBoy]

True enough.

[Pipeline-Webdesign]

thanks everyone :-)

another "should be" eash PS question. I want to watermark a layer of text within an image... how?

[Pipeline-Webdesign]

pweeze *sniffles*

[DaveyBoy]

If you mean like this :



Then here's how to do it :

1. Type the text as normal

2. PASTE the image into a new layer

3. Hold CTRL and left-click the txt layer in the layers palette :



4. Next, hold CTRL, ALT & SHIFT together, and press I to invert the selection. Then press 'delete'




Hope that helps, if it isn't what you wanted, try and explain more...

[DaveyBoy]

haha that definitely isnt what you wanted, but still a cool effect

Sorry, am still asleep...

[thebassman]

Try taking a look at this tutorial on my site. Is that what you were looking for?

[Pipeline-Webdesign]

that spiderman tool was awesome, wish i could incorporate that in what i need somehow but i'm more looking for kind of like semi-transparent text. I have a picture and I want a text layer on top of the picture, but to be transparent and at the same time visible... make sense?

[DaveyBoy]

thats pretty easy, simply create the text...

[Pipeline-Webdesign]

totally forgot about the opacity tool... you're the man once again... thanks!
