What's the style on the left? I think I need to get it!

Thanks for sharing this. It looks great.

This is great!

Did you composite the two halves externally or did you do all of it in the same fcw?

I've been working on this off and on for a few days. I appreciate all the help and input.

I experimented with matrices, and I think a scaled unity matrix (contrast) and adding brightness is exactly what I needed.

The multiply blend mode gives the texture underneath. This is a success.

Now to actually finish the text. That's another story...

Thanks again.

I mean something like a contrast and brightness adjustment effect. I need to look at the list when I get back into CC.

Again, this is doable in the GIMP, I know. I simply love the idea of moving a symbol, then saving as jpg and I'm done. CC3 is so easy, and that makes me want to do all this in one UI if it's possible.

OK, done. Here's a screenshot.

It looks similar, but a little darker. I'm going back and forth between thinking that lighter text glow is better, and then thinking that the darker glow looks more "realistic." I then tried disabling the RGB Matrix, and this makes it look even darker but with more contrast.

I actually like this! Do you know of a way to decrease contrast so that it looks a little faded and not just sepia?

Thanks for the ideas! I appreciate the help.
