Cliff, I threw together a little tutorial last year to help folks with basic techniques using two images (surface & proms) in Photoshop. I don't know if you've seen it, so will attach it below.
Keep up the good work.

I will use my 174mm-cool but probably won't plug it in but may do it.
How do people put in images? I use IMGUR.com as I don't see any other way to insert an image except with a 3rd party hosting site OOPS JUST DRAGGED AND DROPPED AND IT DID IT TWICE
