I'm not familiar with the term, "highpass filter." You are speaking about Photoshop aren't you? CS3?

Thanks all, I used Highpass filters to accent edges and increase the contrast in a vivid light layer, then used a color layer with highpass filter with the use of an unsharpen mask filter to get the full effect.

I get everything up until that last section. Can you post a screenie of the actual layers with the last layer step selected? This is the part I'm not understanding you on.

I did something I have with similar lighting and got very close. I think I have it, but I'm not sure. Are you lowering the opacity heavily on the color layer? I don't think I'm understanding where you are sliding the USM in and exactly how the color layer is done.

Sorry, I will post exactly how it is done tomorrow after noon.

but yes, I adjust the color lvl opticity to around 40 percent, but it is unique par each image.

Okay, that answers my question. I was having to take it down to around 25-35 or so and just wondered if that was correct. No need for the screen capture unless you want to help some others. I got it figured out and thanks for the steps! It'll come in handy!

No problem,. be sure to "post what you process"!!!
