[ 27 ]› › DOWN & DIRTY TRICKSStep Eight: Add a Color Overlay
layer style to this layer but give it a
different color. We’re using a blue
color to contrast the sepia-colored
background image. Notice here
that we also lowered the Opacity
to 90% and changed the Blend
Mode to Hard Light. Again, by
itself it’s an interesting result, but
we want to blend it with the rest
of the image, so we’ll be using a
vector mask. Click OK.Step Nine: Click-and-hold on the
Rectangle tool (U) in the Toolbar to
access the Shape tools, and then
choose the Ellipse tool in the menu.
Make sure the Tool Mode is set to
Path in the Options Bar. In the canvas,
hold down the Shift key as you drag
out a circle over the main subject.
Tip: If paths are hard to see in your
document, go to Guides, Grids, &
Slices in the Preferences and change
the Path color in the Path Options
drop-down menu.
In the Options Bar, click on the
Path Alignment icon (a vertical line
with two bars) to open the panel,
and make sure the Align To drop-
down menu at the bottom right is
set to Canvas. Then, click the Align
Vertical Centers and Align Horizon-
tal Centers icons to center the circle
path in the canvas.
