Thanks so much for the tips! I downloaded a trial of Photoshop and have played around with it but haven't produced anything very good-looking. I shall follow your guide the next time I try to make something. :)
I have a question: when you do the gradient overlay, how do you make it change the picture? Whenever I try to add one, it either just gives the colors of the overlay, or if I make a new layer and then add the overlay, it doesn't seem to do anything to the image. What am I doing wrong?
Ok, I'll try help out the best I can - if this doesn't help I'll try make a vid of me doing it ;)
Firstly I always keep the brightness layer selected when I add the gradient layer - that way it should become apart of that layer and not a separate one - it doesn't work as well as a separate layer IMO.
Maybe if you take a screencap of what it looks like when you are doing it and I can see what is going wrong, but hopefully that should work ;)

I use CS4 so if you use a different suite some things might be different but generally everything should be the same ;)
