Many thanks for this great thread Darth Brooks. This is really helpful! Last year I was looking for something like this and stumbled over the Davidson templates and used them - trying to find out how they work. Poor thing that your thread wasn't up by that time. One thing that he has got in his templates that you have not talked about are two more layers with a greyscale uniform that utilizes "Overlay" (hope that this really is in the english photoshop version). I think that those are used to retain the original color. When you use multiply and screen there comes in the shadowing and there come in the highlights. Sometimes the original color gets lost a bit. At least that is what I feel about it. By adding an "overlay" layer the original color seems to be conserved a bit better and the showed areas have more depth. Here is an example of what I am talking about: When you have that Overlay layer in it, the Multiply layer can be a bit brighter. All the best wishes Daniel
