@Alexa: What I’m doing whenever I make a new layer beneath a layer and then merge that layer down on top of it, I’m removing all layer effects on that layer, while still keeping them applied. For example, say I was to add a color overlay to a layer. By making a new layer beneath it and merging that layer down on top of it, it removes that “Color Overlay” layer style, but still keeps the blue color. Sometimes layers won’t react properly with the rest of the image when they have layer styles applied to them, or I want to be able to apply a NEW layer style to it that doesn’t merge well with the first one. It’s for that reason that I’ll remove them like this.

Hope this helps!

Awesome tutorial. I admit I had to read it several times before getting it all. I’m still confused at some point tho, do you need to ‘merge down’ other layers as well? Other than the first color layer, with the black one. What is the difference between merging two layers, or just leaving them one on top of the other, un-merged?

Sorry if my questions sound stupid. I’m just so close to understanding 100%

Thanks for this. I’ve had a bunch of grey flower brushes for ages and hadn’t really used them much because colouring seemed too difficult. This works great.
My first flower needed an extra “black layer” at the bottom to really make the detail of the flower stand out, but didn’t need one at the top.

@sine: If you’re wanting to do light colors, you may have to erase a bit of the top, black layer in order to do so – use the eraser brush on a low transparency and go back to that top, “black” layer, and start erasing over the parts where you want the lighter colors (yellow) to show through better. You can keep doing using that low opacity brush until it shows through to the amount that you desire.

Good luck!

@Mari: If you know enough about Elements to “adopt it” into that program, yes. The exact steps may vary a little, but you should be able to give it a try and figure it out unless you’re a beginner. Good luck!

Does this technique work in elements?
