The PSD link was broken. It is ashame because I was thinking this could have been remade a different way {Smile} But I cannot test it.

I find this interesting, that it was done completely out of effects. It's not uncommon. But it is uncommon to see a whole tutorial out of it {Smile} I guess it's easier for people newer to the field to learn from it. As for the blending options, you could change that to bring out different affects.

OVerall not a bad tutorial {Cheesy}
