Step Seventeen: Once<br />

again, remove the color<br />

using the Gradient Map<br />

trick we used in Step<br />

Twelve, and then use<br />

Levels (Command-L [PC:<br />

Ctrl-L]) to boost the dark<br />

contrast until most of the<br />

background behind the<br />

cracks is black. In this<br />

example, we dragged the shadows slider to 168. Click OK to<br />

close Levels.<br />

Step Seventeen<br />

Step Eighteen: Using the<br />

Move tool and holding the<br />

Shift key, drag this texture<br />

into the main image and position<br />

this layer just above the<br />

text layer in the Layers panel.<br />

Go to Edit>Transform>Rotate<br />

90° Counter Clockwise. Press<br />

Option-Command-G (PC: Alt-<br />

Ctrl-G) to clip the texture inside<br />

the text.<br />

Step Eighteen<br />

Step Nineteen: In the Layers<br />

panel, set the broken glass<br />

layer to Screen. Add a layer<br />

mask, and then use the Gradient<br />

tool like we did in Step<br />

Fourteen to hide a couple of<br />

areas of the glass texture to<br />

vary the look.<br />
