Thanks once again for another great tutorial. I’m not sure if I have a use for this but it is still much appreciated. I especially like the application of this effect to the flourish and text.

Thanks a lot. Just play with it. Try different blending modes. Try it over a video, photo, illustration, color and grayscale, try in on 3D generated graphic. You’ll me amazed how often it helps to sell the final effect.

Cool. There are some techniques with using High Pass Filters in Photoshop in creating the “Dave Hill Photography” look. Now that you’ve come up with this cool Filter.. I wonder if we can pull off this look in Motion?? I’ll have to tinker :)
