  1. I got lost pretty much step 8 then i tried to follow until step 16 then gave up as you make it quite complicated.
    "Duplicate the top layer that you just put in screen mode. Remove the layer styles, we just want it to be white. Now set the layer blending mode to “Linear Dodge” or “Add”. Now you should see major highlights like below."
    At what point did you change a blend mode to screen mode on one of the layers? I didn't see any step for that.
    The tutorial may be ok for regular users but for novices, it's just confusing.

  2. DON'T TRY THIS TUTORIAL. SPENT TOO MUCH TIME BEFORE GETTING STUCK ON STEPS 19/20. THERE IS A MISSING STEP OR ERROR AND THE PSD DOWNLOAD LINK IS BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Sir I am unable to understand the step no 20 as after invert the color from white the black the result is quietly different so plz help me.

    1. Select the top layer then duplicate it by pressing Ctrl/Cmd+J. Remove the layer styles by going to Layer > Layer Style > Clear Layer Styles. Now, in the Layers panel, change the blending mode to "Linear Dodge" or "Add". Hope this helps!

    1. Step 21 is simply a repeat of step 20. You just duplicate that top layer one more time and then change the opacity from 50% to 100%.

  4. yo whadup your thang worked greaaat pardner.aye the feirce wind gods blow and wail outside yonder window

  5. First of all, thank you very for this tutorial. With the help of this, our presentation looks more shiny. Thank you.

  6. i did this work in photoshop CS but it did'nt work completely. very hard because i could'nt group it neither turn it to 40 degree or delete it.....so hard

  7. Which layer do you duplicate on step 20? The one with the “Linear Dodge” blending mode, the one with the mask or the one with the inverted mask colors?

    i duplicate the layer in which we inverted the colors (step 19), but i, on step 21, get a completely different result than you do.

    Any help please?

  8. Too complicated procedure to create Colorful Retro Poster, actually it was confounding way to make it sans instances.
