Although I work with Photoshop quite a few years already, I stil haven't got 'the trick' of how to create a separate layer with the graytones, like darker parts, rivet rows and shadow lines. When lucky, a white textureversion is available, but then what? Most repaint tutorials skip this specific phase of layer creation.
The best solution I found untill now, is setting the selection wizard at a certain value and select and cut out the lines and rivets. This layer I put above the layer with the colours I wanted to give the plane. Then I set the 'rivets an lines layer' at a half transparent setting, but this also 'bleaches' the rivets itself. Parts that smoothly go from white to grey are even very hard to select this way and the result after setting an amount of transparency is horrible.
I probably take the wrong procedures.
I have been searching in this site for a instruction how to do the rivets and lines in a proper way, but I failed to find it.
Or is there somebody who knows were such an instruction is found or who is so kind as to explain me how it is done?
Thanks for the help !
