Are you nuts?! I think he's got enough filters. And brushworks? I don't even think you and I can do that yet. Look, Dude.. Nemo. I can see your a beginner so if I were you I'd first get used to the filters and then play with layer modes. And if its bugging you THAT MUCH, find some tuts. Not much but thats how I started off.Wangster said:well, get rid of the ugly emboss effects, and add some other things, not just layer styles, but maybey some filters, and some brushworks, mixed with some radial blur.
