I did some pretty cool text on a pic of mine. It had a "noisy" drop shadow filter on it. The text itself was yellow, but I added a gradiant map and somehow got the shadow of the text to turn red, while leaving the yellow alone. Now, I want to do it again, but I can’t figure out how I did it the first time! Don’t ya just hate that?
Anyhow, I’m stuck with black shadows until someone bails me out. PS- If you haven’t tried this with text, it really rocks! Thanks for the help.

Man, I just couldn’t take it anymore. After frantic clicking, I finally figured it out. It was a gradiant map / dissolve which did the trick. SWEEEEET!
