719 Infusing an image with the color of money

- [Instructor] In this movie,…we're gonna take that faux engraving effect…that we created using contour mapping inside Photoshop.…And we're going to infuse it with the color of money,…using a gradient map adjustment layer.…And so I'll go ahead and switch over to my image so far.…Notice that the cash layer,…which is that horizontal line pattern,…is currently selected.…At which point I'll go up to the layer menu,…choose new adjustment layer, followed by gradient map.…And I'm just gonna name this layer green,…because that's what it's gonna be.…And I'll click OK.…Now as you may recall, a gradient map layer,…goes ahead and maps the luminance levels across an image,…with the various luminance and color values…associated with gradient itself.…

So if I switch to this default gradient right here.…Blue red yellow.…Then I would map the shadows to the first color…in the gradient, which is blue.…And then I'd map the mid-tones to…the second color, which is red.…Then the highlights to the third color, which is yellow.…Obviously that's not what I want.…
