Once you established the values, copy all the layers then make a flattened layer. Get the brush tool, turn the mode into 'color' instead of 'normal'. Then work your color on the flattened layer. The color brush keeps the integrity of values on the layer. Try it and let me know.Armand Serranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745661067399158046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25094409.post-11545042734134711862007-02-03T09:19:00.000-08:002007-02-03T09:19:00.000-08:00One quick question.

I love that misty mysterious mood you put into it and that actually goes for the castle as well. Both very storytelling images. I like the composition and placement of the birds, it somehow adds to that mood.<br />I hope you get a presentation together for a new pitch for the "Bird Kingdom" movie. I'd like to see more of that!:)<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />HansHanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991471941821193929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25094409.post-38081422540162167422007-01-30T03:07:00.000-08:002007-01-30T03:07:00.000-08:00Gorgeous!
