what is your idea ? you put hand sign on flag !

looks way too simple, but it looks like a nice selection of the hand.

Edit: Ohh wait! After lookigbn at your steop by step[ guide i understand what you were trying to do, however it doesn't really show toow ell. What you should do now is move the displaced flag on a layer on top of the hand and set the flag to something like 'Overlay' or 'Multiply. This will really help sell your effect, and earn you MUCH higher marks. (try it with full opacity as well)

ponti55 layers were arranged as per your comments i have now tried changing the blend mode from multiply to overlay and at full opacity. Not sure how successful this has been, Believe the effect maybe weaker than it should be due to the diplacement map as the hand was fairly smooth. Will try to look at this.

author, log on to youtube and do a search for Gavin Hoey , he has a tutorial on exactly this type of work and it will help you greatly. GL

RayTedwell Thanks for the heads up will look later and see if i can improve on the effect
