\"FIRE!\"<\/div>\n

I came up with this trick while playing with Photoshop filters, and since I don’t use plug-ins or have the latest version of Photoshop, this came in pretty handy for me. Who knows? It might come in handy for you, too.<\/p>\n

          \"6.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
            \n
          1. Colorize with red and increase contrast.\n
              \n
            1. Adjust Hue\/Saturation, Colorize with a reddish hue. [Ctrl-U\/Command-U, make sure Colorize is checked and Saturation is set to at least 45]<\/li>\n
            2. Adjust Curves to increase contrast. [Ctrl-M\/Command-M, lighten the highlights and darken the shadows]
              (              what your curve should look like<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              2. Adjust Hue\/Saturation to make the top layer yellowish. [Slide the Hue option until you get yellow tones.]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
