Hey Guys,

I’m trying to make a few images similar to the header image here:

[http://www2.alpinestars.com/clothing/archives\_template\_clothing.php](http://www2.alpinestars.com/clothing/archives_template_clothing.php)

You can see the red and blue “Moto” and “Auto” header images. I’ve tried a host of things in Photoshop and haven’t been able to get anything like this.

It looks like a filter may have been used on the original image, and then something was done to blend it in with the solid red and blue colors, but I cannot figure it out.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
