Hi Rosy,
Thanks for getting back to me. I tried turning my patterned paper to black and white and then bringing in a coloured paper. Then I put the coloured paper under my black and white patterned paper. In the end everything was black and white but when I turned the eye off by the black and white layer it worked. I am going to keep trying this out. I am onto something now. Thanks for your help. I have some questions about the line drawing tip too but I will work this one out first. Thanks.

If you are using the method of turning your paper to black and white that duplicates the layer first, you may have to delete the colored layer underneath the black and white one. Check your layers palette to make sure that you only have a solid paper underneath a black & white paper. Let me know if you still have questions.

Just starting out with this digital scrapbooking and with photoshop so can’t always follow directions easily. I always seem to be missing something. I would love to be able to use this technique but …. when I change my second paper to black and white and then use the blend mode the paper turns back to the patterned paper, same colours and all. My plain coloured paper was sitting there at the bottom of the stack and seemingly had no effect. Do you have any idea what I did or didn’t do wrong? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this tip! I loved it and went in and made a ton of tone on tone papers. LOL Thanks again!

Me too, a new technique is kind of like a new toy to play with :)

Thanks, Ashley! I’m just beginning to realize the potential that it has in photo editing, but it’s definitely a great digi-scrapping tool!
