The top header I created in PS.
The header below is what I wanted to achieve but could not find any instructions on adding a stroke to text, so I created this image in PSP (as an example)
I cannot find in the Adobe help files how to create text with a stroke. I did find some information about using layers but it was too confusing to waste more time on for this assignment :) Is this type of information going to be in a later lesson/assignment?
 Peppers - Original Image |
 Peppers - New Adjustment Level I chose Auto as the best option |
 Laura Example - Original |
 Again with this image I chose the Auto setting. After many attempts I could not find one that better suited this example |
 My New Rainbow Gradient |
|
 Gradient Balloons with Gradient Background and Gradient Text |
|
 Original Gradient Text experiment - Another example is the Header at the top of this page |
|
  Using the original color image - to Greyscale |
 After Greyscale I used a Gradient to go from Black and White to Color |
 Original Vignette Image |
 Vignette with a Gradient and Frame added as described in the lesson. |
 Original Scenery Image |
 My lame attempt at improving this image :( |
