What a neat effect, Kimi,
A lot easier to use than the spotlight filter (at least easier for me)
You hit another home run with this assignment.

oh Smiles... what a sweetie! I love that one.
This being said as the teacher... I am finding everyone is leaving too much black. It is meant to be an accent not the whole thing. But hey, in kreative homework, anything goes.

Sorry, teach......mine is pretty dark, too.

Thank you Kimi, that's my nephew. He is so precious.
Kimi this is a really effective lesson. Instead of lowering opacity, it could be used to exclude unwanted things in the image. Hey, I thought it would be a quick shortcut!

What's a day without a Duesenberg?




I took a liberty with the instructions. Rather than using the white/black gradient set to multiply, I copied the background, set that to multiply and applied the gradient to a layer mask. Thanks for the tip Kimi on Ctrl+T to adjust the gradient into the needed size and shape.

Thanks Kimi for another great tut.

I used transparent to my color for the gradient. My kitty likes to hang out in my dog's (german shepherd) food bowl. Tempting fate?

Great lesson; my red passionflower has started blooming. Thanks Kimi,
