Hi folks,
just got psp x. I'm quite new to digital photography, got my first digital
slr a couple of months ago. Is there anyway of using psp to create the
effect of a graduated filter. I used to use a graduated tobacco filter alot
on my old film slr to make grey skies look a bit more interesting and wonder
if i can do the same with psp. Sorry if this is a silly question but as i
said i'm a bit new to the digital darkroom.
Many thanks in advance
Mike

Add a new layer and fill with a gradint of Tobaco to nothing then change
layers blend mode to Overlay.

Using a mask will give more controll but need more practice
