"Now to the final part of our bloody, gutty text. If we look over here onto our screen, we can see that we already have it set up the way that we want to. This is looking really good. Now what we need to do is, we need to give it a little bit of colorize. So, if we come over here, we can go to "Image." Let's go back into our Photoshop program. Let's go to "Image, Adjustments." And we're going to go over to "Color Balance," down here. There we go. This is going to give us our options to play with here. So, what we're going to do is, we're going to start with-start with our shadows. Let's bring our shadows up, let's say-we can key this in if we want to. So, let's key it in at eighty, to zero, to, let's say, negative twenty-five. There we go. And then I'm going to key this other part in at our midtones to about the same ratio here. So, we're going to go to eighty, to zero, to negative twenty-five. And the same thing with our highlights, to negative twenty-five, since we're already here. Let's add this negative twenty-five, and then to eighty. There you go. Look at that. It's crazy, crazy guts here. So let's go ahead and maximize that, Command-0. And, as you can see here, this is how it works. And, if you want to, you can come back and you can actually change the color of this, if you want this a little bit darker, or a little bit-maybe a different color, if you want to go to green, blue, you know, anything you come up with. But this is how it is right here. So, that's our gutty, bloody text. Play around and have fun and enjoy."
