Neverside

photoshop 7

hey everone i am using photoshop 7 and whenever i try to change from grayscale to color indexed it's merging all the layers, i try hiding a layer and it discards in the process. Does anyone know of a work around for this?

Why not switch to RGB, then just save as Indexed when you need to? I don't mess with color modes much :X

You could probably do the same thing with Gradient Map. Just pick a fiery gradient..

I'm not on a machine with PS, else I'd help :X

Did you bother to read the entire thing? He explains the process further. Or is it deleting your hidden layer completly as well? If it is doing that, how hard it is to re-create the text?

It is deleting the hidden layer also, once i switch to indexed color mode, i am unable to create a new layer.

Sparky i am going to try your suggestion.

I tried this, i am attaching the result, let me know what u guys think.

Not bad, not bad. I'd add a new layer on top of it with some glows maybe to make the text itself stand out more. I'm just glad my hack worked alright
