If you use overlay instead of multiply it keeps the colour and still looks like its imprinted. Thanks for the tutorial though it helped a lot

Hi! Great tutorial! I love this filter! I use it mostly to make credible shadows on compositings, works great! But there’s something that always puzzles is that everyone is using it with Black and white images. It can be used with color ones hence the effect can be used in relation with the green and reds channels only (the channels from the source image). I’d like to explore this filter that way and for the moment the acutest explanation I’ve got is in the Katrin Eismann book “compositing” I’d like to have a more technical approach on this instead of having to copy a step by step example (which is good anyway!). to make the long story short, I’d like to know how Photoshop handle the source file (the internal tech)…HOW IT WORKS. Does anyone knows about this? Can anyone point me to another resources. Thank you very much!

PS I can’t even see explanations on the Adobe Help files.

Did I miss something? Because I just don’t see it! In step 2, you tell us how to prepare the image for making a displacement map but you end it there. I duplicated the image and converted it to grayscale. Clicking on the Filter>Displacement Map just asks you to import the map that you�ve already made. You said to save it as a PSD file, but you never really said how to make it in the first place. This tutorial assumes that you already know how to make a displacement filter and everyone who commented seem to already know, so it�s not much of a tutorial it seems. : (

Dave, I attended your photoshop cs4 class in Nashville (Great!). It would be helpful if you would go over the method you showed us where you painted letters on a rock mountain and then used an underlying layer to make it contour to the rocks (the “he loves she” message).
