I'm an occasional user of PS CS3 to put stuff in dreamweaver but I am short on skills. I want to put a photo image on my new web site as a background image in the banner. I want something mono colour and slightly diffused like a water mark on paper. The image I was going to use is a photo of the Forth Bridge and I want it to go unobtrusively behind my text. I can't find much on the web because I probably am not using meaningful key words so can someone please point me in the direction to start.
Thanks, -- (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") |

Use Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation and move the Saturation slider to the left to remove some of the color. Move the Lightness slider to the right to make the image lighter, like a water-mark, so that it won't intrude on the text. -- Mike Russell - LINK |

Those are indeed Datura and the pure white grow wild in parts of the Mojave |
Desert. This one was shot south of Kelso (SE of Baker on a rough road).
I've also found them -=in=- Death Valley. |

If you can time your visit to one of the rare wet Spring years, even the |
floor of DV is covered with flowers - a physical 'carpet' of blooms.
Hidden in seeps, springs and shaded valleys, the desert is full of surprises - excellent material for PS help as the contrast ration is often uncaptured by a single exposure ...
I've a shot of a rotted telegraph pole beside the abandoned Ludlow & Southern RR, the took three exposures to capture, layered and married in PS. Perhaps I should put that up in the California section. <G> |
