A nice Visual Effect

A nice Visual Effect

Today I wanted to get a headline image for my site, with a Gantt chart. I started from:

Pic-001

which is a bit dull. I created then a photo filter layer with the following attributes:

  • Filter: warming filter
  • Density: 25% (I think that's the default)
  • Blending mode: Screen

The result was this pretty image:

Pic-002

To add a bit of oomph to it, I added an exposure layer:

  • Exposure: -0.28
  • Offset: +0.0882
  • Gamma correction: 0.34
  • Blending mode: Color burn, Fill 35%

Lo and behold:

Pic-003

HTH,
