VCC Template 20

 New Template today...

**EDIT: I accidently left the PTU tube as a closed layer when I

zipped this file. If you have already downlaoded and it has the tube, PLEASE DELETE THE TUBE.

It is a PTU and can only be used IF YOU PURCHASED IT FROM PFD YOURSELF.

I have removed the tube, re-zipped the template, re-uploaded, and have updated the

links. So sorry for this and again, please DO NOT use the tube if you got the file with it included.

Thank you so much!!

*When working with templates, I use the Manual Color Correction Tool (MCCT):

Highlight template layer

Click on the MCCT

Set top box to original layer color

Set bottom box to new color

Click OK

If you want to use the same color with different shades, simply click each template layer and apply the MCCT

WITHOUT changing the bottom color. This usually works giving each layer a different shade of the same color.

Occasionally you will find a template that this will not work on tho, so in that case simply change the colors each time.

This works great on templates with different shades of Gray and Black.*

There is a great mini-tut on how to use the MCCT by Justfi HERE

Another way to color template layers:

When working with templates, always Shift+D to duplicate, close original,

then on each layer, select with magic wand (or Select All, Float, De-float), ANL,

close/delete the original, do steps required in tutorial, select none

Try it out and see what works for you.
