Hi guys.I've noticed that alot of you really know your work and I was wondering if you might be able to help...I did an image recently in Photoshop 7 with embossed letters and gradients, but as beautiful as it looks, I can't get it to keep these qualities when i convert to jpg or print it out.It kinda flattens out and loses its qualitites.
