More photoshop doodles. I was playing with ways to make very dark, deep, saturated color. Also playing with the transparency aspects of the blending modes (the semi-transparent "glass" on the right). If you go into the layers palette and choose "Blending Options" in the layer effects menu, there is a slider named fill opacity. You can lower the opacity of the layer, yet the layer effect such as bevel and emboss remain at 100% strength. This allows you to make something look transparent, like glass (or stained glass). Cool. Hope you enjoy.
