What that combo does is turn your graphic/photo "inside-out". Compare a before and after, and you might be able to see it.

Kai Krause laid down the foundation for this kind of thing a lot time ago. It boggle my mind that his tricks are so enduring. Many times I have discovered something cool, only to find out later that Kai did it first.

hey bud

Much better, me lad. Now try putting a little vertical spherize in there!

There are two things you can do to reduce Jaggies ... one is to install ATM (adobe Type Manager) which, IIRC, is available free from the www.adobe.com site. Two, if you don't want to do that, then turn the text into Outlines before you mess with it. (now that I think about it, you might have to have ATM installed to do that; I'm not sure atm)

What's Bravo Sierra mean? (non military type here, just a wannabe)

Good job Ranger! [righton]

Quick & dirty way to clean up the jaggies:
1. Load the selection as an alpha channel and then deselect it.
2. Give it a slight Gaussian Blur (Filter->Gaussian Blur)
3. Open up Levels (CTRL+L) and move the right & left sliders to crisp up the edges
4. Click on the selection to activate it.
5. Back to your layers palette, create a new layer and fill the selection with colour.

Did this in 2 seconds...
