You must have been reading my mind. I was just looking at something like this the other day and wondering how to do it.
Thanks!

Happy you can use it. Believe it or not, I don't really use Photoshop to do scrapbooking or edit my family photos. I have my own business training people to make worship graphics for use in their churches. This tutorial is one I use to show people how to use filters. We then add some text like "Living Water" and put it in the lower right corner.
