Step Eighteen

Step Nineteen

Step Seventeen

Step Seventeen: Once
again, remove the color
using the Gradient Map
trick we used in Step
Twelve, and then use
Levels (Command-L [PC:
Ctrl-L]) to boost the dark
contrast until most of the
background behind the
cracks is black. In this
example, we dragged the shadows slider to 168. Click OK to
close Levels.

Step Eighteen: Using the
Move tool and holding the
Shift key, drag this texture
into the main image and posi-
tion this layer just above the
text layer in the Layers panel.
Go to Edit>Transform>Rotate
90° Counter Clockwise. Press
Option-Command-G (PC: Alt-
Ctrl-G) to clip the texture inside
the text.

Step Nineteen: In the Lay-
ers panel, set the broken glass
layer to Screen. Add a layer
mask, and then use the Gra-
dient tool like we did in Step
Fourteen to hide a couple of
areas of the glass texture to
vary the look.
