I’m an occasional user of PS CS3 to put stuff in dreamweaver but I am short
on skills. I want to put a photo image on my new web site as a background
image in the banner. I want something mono colour and slightly diffused
like
a water mark on paper. The image I was going to use is a photo of the Forth
Bridge and I want it to go unobtrusively behind my text. I can’t find much
on the web because I probably am not using meaningful key words so can
someone please point me in the direction to start.
Use Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation and move the Saturation slider to the
left to remove some of the color. Move the Lightness slider to the right
to make the image lighter, like a water-mark, so that it won’t intrude on
the text.

sir r
didn’t know you had any flower pics
where did you see the white trumpet flowers?? I have never seen all white ones, I have parti color pink to yellow and all yellow
seen them in dark purple out west, at night it has a wonderful fragrance datura (jimson weed) angel’s trumpet
one of my favorite subjects I took many images of them
Those are indeed Datura and the pure white grow wild in parts of the Mojave
Desert. This one was shot south of Kelso (SE of Baker on a rough road).
I’ve also found them -=in=- Death Valley.
I have never been to the desert
I hope to one day
I live in a most tropical lush environment (FLORIDA) so to see the opposite would be novel
If you can time your visit to one of the rare wet Spring years, even the floor of DV is covered with flowers – a physical ‘carpet’ of blooms.
Hidden in seeps, springs and shaded valleys, the desert is full of surprises – excellent material for PS help as the contrast ration is often uncaptured by a single exposure …
I’ve a shot of a rotted telegraph pole beside the abandoned Ludlow & Southern RR, the took three exposures to capture, layered and married in PS.
Perhaps I should put that up in the California section. <G>
