Preparing text for commercial output
I have saved this final magazine cover that I have created before you as Alternate ending.psd, so called because it does differ in a few ways from that Pout magazine.psd file that I created before I began recording this chapter. And among the slight variations, I should point out that this circle layer right, that we just got done creating at the end of the previous exercise, that I had decided to set the Mask value last time to not 4 pixels or maybe as high as 6, but I went ahead and set it to 10 that first time around. So I have a bigger burst in the center of that fake pearl than I do now. So it's really up to you, I guess, what settings you decide to apply. I am going to go ahead and close this panel and switch back, notice as I switch back that this little sparkle here does diminish slightly, it gets a little sharper as you can see. I am going to switch back to the Alternate ending.psd file. All right! So now it's time to talk turkey. I've been telling you that the great thing…
