This was a great tutorial! I hope you still check these comments because I have a question... The image looks great when I have it open in Photoshop, however... If I try to save it as a .jpg, or flatten the image, the image changes and becomes less defined. All of the contrast in the text kind of evens out and becomes a lot less noticable. Any suggestions?
