zoom on the orange to see it.

you should be able to see the paper texture through the orange now right?

Yellow layer is normal
Brown layer is multiply
Orange layer is linear burn

I see paper coming through the brown

huzzah!

Set YELLOW... i repeat YELLOW to DIFFERENCE

it should allow for the paper texture through.

So for future if I do a simialr sequence of layers with the burn, multiply and normal I can get textures to come through?

You can use whatever BLENDING STYLE you want. you can click in the box and then use the arrow down on your keyboard to scroll through to see how it looks.

On the opposite side you could always put a copy of the paper texture as the top layer and then use one of the Blending styles to get an overall blend. That way you dont have to put a different style for each one.

You can also change the opacity to let the bottom layers peek through too. It all depends on how it all looks and what you prefer.

k so lets put the MGM logo on the bottom next then. I found a PNG here:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe..._Grand_logo.svg/1280px-MGM_Grand_logo.svg.png

save this to your folder. I drag and drop.

PNG have invisible backgrounds if someone made them so we dont have to manually take it out. So i googled MGM logo and went for the PNG.

JPGS always have solid backgrounds.

GIF can also have an invisible background but their colours are limited to 256 colours.

PNG is like JPG but with the ability to have an invisible background.

cool let me know when you have it in position. You can turn the POSTER layer on and off to get it right.

yup when you drag and drop the image from your tutorial folder into Photoshop it should create a new layer automatically for you.

 

[lookoutawhale]

unless you used file open and all that stuff. I just drag and drop everything. saves time.

I'm not going to bother making it white unless teacher says to.

 

[lookoutawhale]

alright now double click that MGM lion layer so the layer effects pop up.

Go to COLOUR OVERLAY and choose white in the colour picker.

The logo should become white like the poster.
