"Now let's add a grading overlay to layer styles. We'll look up in here, we'll go ahead and click on our grading overlay, like so. Let's go into it. Here we go. Actually let's turn our pattern overlay. You can turn it back on in a second. Let's say, we're going to set our grade overlay at normal. Let's put this down a little bit. Let's take us down to fourteen. Alright. Of course we're going to go black to white. That looks good. Style at linear. Looks great. Angle at ninety. And scale of one hundred. We're going to go ahead and say OK to that. Let's double click on this again and we'll go ahead and bring our pattern overlay back up again. Of course it'll fall right back into place. There we go. And what else we're going to do, let's go ahead and add stroke to this as well. So if we click on our stroke here we can see. Let's take our size up to ten pixels. Put our position, put our position in center like so. Let's take our blend mode to normal. We'll leave it like so. Capacity to a hundred. And fill type, we're going to go to gradient this time. What we're going to do is we're going to click in here and see what we can find the quickest or the simplest one that looks more like a gold color. Or goldish color. See what we think about that one. Not quite, but we can always change the colors by clicking in here. And let's see, click on user color. And it will pop up here and we'll just come over here and select a gold color of preference hit OK. Click here as well. Let's get another yellowish color, like that one. Let's go ahead and change this one as well. We'll take this one to a dark gold color. Which is pretty good right there. And of course we'll bring this one up, back to the lightest gold color. So bring down a little bit, a little bit more to our gold here. Alright, we're going to go ahead and hit OK. That looks alright. And we hit OK here. And let's see here. Our style is at linear. That sounds good. Ninety and hundred. We're going to go ahead and hit OK. And there we have it, we're on our way. Let's pause it here we'll pick it up in the next part."
