Just went 'image>desaturate' (on the satin)
then went CTRL+L to mess with the lighting levels (think its 'image>levels') to darken it a bit.
I made sure the new black and white version of the satin was a layer above the flag, then I set the blend mode to 'multiply'
Thats it

Cool. I'm not sure which version of Photoshop i use at school...
I think its CS2, considering thats the Illustrator we use...
But Thanks for the help Bravo!

It's so easy I think I'll knock up a little tutorial ...

we use Photoshop CS2.
Is it still do-able in CS2?
|
Bravo

yes, just set the black and white version of the satin over the flag and set the layer properties to 'multiply'

I had a go at following your instructions and I also managed to fix the problem your flag had.

Now that looks way better than Bravo's I don't know what it is...I think it's the text 
Btw it would prolly look even better with Aston Villa on it

Not Feyenord? PSV?

Feyenoord is my team indeed, but my mom is from Birmingham, so I have always supported Villa as well. Have to honestly say, I don't follow em as well as I used to. Been to the Villa Park once. Match against Arsenal, unfortunately 0-0.

I did also think bravo's flag looked a bit too dark so I made mine a bit lighter which I think makes it look slightly better.
