Gradient Overlay

What is meant by creating a world?

This means that the graphic you will create will resemble that of a world.

How do I add a world to my graphic?

1)From the menu bar, select File/New, and make the file size about 200 pixels by 200 pixels. Make sure that the file is in RGB mode.

2) Select a light blue for the foreground color, and a darker blue for the background color. Of course, you can select any colors that you prefer, but for best results select two colors that constrast.

3)Select Filters/Render/Clouds.

4) Behold! The heavens appear within your file. The clouds filter uses the foreground and background colors you have chosen to create the clouds in your file.

5) Return to the Filter menu. Select Render/Lighting Effects.

6) In the Light Effects menu, change the shape of the ellipse to a circle that is centered within your file. Drag the Focus setting to about 15, then apply.
