I realise that, however I want to edit my image not in order to print but to upload to flickr, so unfortunately the effects possible with this are not much use which is really frustrating.

@baxcarias ?? When you have done an image with the changes and effects you want, Maybe looking like the one i created in this Tut with the Layers etc.. all you do if File - -Save, Svae the image as whatever file (JPEG/PNG/TIFF)

So get you PSD open, make sure all layers are visable and if thats the image you want no just save as JPEG!

[baxcarias]

I'm trying to save it as a jpeg from psd, and losing all the effects when doing it. Fpr some reason this only happens with this set of steps before hand..

[HiroKun10]

@baxcarias Thats BECAUSE of the flattening of the image it will change the blending modes as the object is to compile the image to one layer, if every layer had the same blending mode OR none then it would be fine, but if you have multiple it will not be able to flatten and tbh you dont need to do that for this Tutorial at all.

The only problem is that you get a lot of white clipping, especially in the nose.
