Another great week of instruction! I am thrilled
to learn the "trick" with alpha channels and tif's in MS Office products.
I do PowerPoint presentations all the time and I absolutely hated trying
to blend the background of an image in with the slide background. This
lesson will save me LOADS of time on my presentation creation and will
make them look even more professional. Thanks! |

I split the image into its Red Green and Blue channel. Then, on the
red channel I applied a colored pencil effect at the following settings:

To let the instructors know what I think of them and the great lessons, I
created this using the alpha channel. The effect on the text is Eye
Candy 3's chrome using the metallic preset. I then added an inner bevel to
it.
