To add a
Solid Fill Layer
, we click the
Fill Layer Icon
at the bottom of the
Layers Panel
.
Next we click on
Solid Color
at the top of the pop-up menu. When the
Color Picker
Panel
appears select Black. This is usually a good starting place and easily changed later on.
Our final step in this project is to sharpen the image. An easy way to do that is to use a
High Pass Filter
.
First, we have to create a new layer for the filter. We can do this by right clicking on the
Flower Layer
in the layers panel and then choosing
Duplicate Layer
near the top of the
pop-up menu.
So, with the new layer highlighted, select
Filter > Other > High Pass
This will change the appearance of the flower to a gray color and an adjustment window
will pop-up, as shown on the left side of
Figure 74
. A good rule of thumb is to start with
the slider all the way to the left and then slowly move it to the right until you can just barely
see the details in the sample window of the adjustment panel. You may want to experiment
with more pronounced details to see the difference.
