Step-by-Step Instructions:

3 - CRAZY COLOR CHALLENGE (Optional): You can take this tutorial one step further and create a colored high contrast image if you would like! They can look super trippy or remind you of a really dope movie poster depending on your color choices. If you would like to pursue this option try changing the color of the gradient in the gradient dialog box. You do this by clicking on the colored slider boxes and then click on the box below it that says color. Use the color picker to choose your colors!
