“Ok so im not going to go on a rant, or get all political on this issue, you the reader, just step back a second and forget about treaties agreements and what not and look at the faces of the bloody and injured and hurt the scared the dead, now all i would like to see is a list of crimes each and every single individual who died or was horrifically injured for the rest of their lives, maybe its just me but doesnt sound too hard to explain your actions does it?, hmm or how about TELLING the country your going to bomb the fuck out of them before you do it, i mean US did for Iraq and well Afghanistan knew it was coming  the second cnn changed its programming to 9/11 all day 24/7″

This week’s lesson is on how to add image highlights and shadows in Photoshop.

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 3

Launch Photoshop and open the image you want to modify. We used Stockxpert #13936211 by haveseen, described by the photographer as an “Antique brass compass over old Canadian map background.” Press F7 to show the Layers palette. Drag the Background layer to the Create New Layer button to duplicate it.

Choose Filter > Other > High Pass. Use the options in the resulting High Pass dialog box shown below, with Radius set to 8 pixels, and click OK.

Set the Layer Mode to Hard Light and you’re done. You can experiment with the Layer Mode of the Background copy layer to create alternative effects.
