<rip> Image 8 at http://www.5thpower.com/tutorials/perspective
<rip> a few things......
<rip> the linear gradient, works best with colors that have to components in common
<rip> like the 2 we used
<rip> less banding that way
<mac18> What do you mean by two components?
<Keya`> the top and bottom  colors
<The|{id> components = red,green ,blue
<Keya`> they should complement each other
<mc-bird> A good one though--now I can see thst the shadow creates the illusion that the text is standing up.
<The|{id> Example: 0,175,200 and 175,200,200
<Lilly----> except my skewed text doesnt align with the with the other one
<The|{id> froegrond and background have two numbers in common
<rip> use the mover tool on that layer to align tham
<Keya`> you can move it a little more Lilly
<The|{id> it seems to band less (true color machines won't see this)
<The|{id> Resize All Layers Unchecked
<mc-bird> When the shadow was resized, Lilly, the Horizontal had to be 100
<rip> those deformations have alot to offer
<Keya`> that's the beauty of the multi undo also
<rip> oh yea!
