Hey guys! So I'm working on a little banner here, and here's what I've got going on.

Here's the original banner - I like pretty much everything about it, except for the fact that it's a big too dark on the left hand side and makes it tough to read.


Here's the second banner which is a bit lightened, but this is where I'm having a bit of trouble.


The second image is good brightness-wise on the left hand side, and here's what I did to get it like that:
Went into gradient overlay, set opacity to 7%, angle to 180, and scale to 10%. The style is set to linear.

If you look closely, you'll notice that though the left side is good in the 2nd one, the right part of the image was dimmed a bit. I'm wondering how to brighten just the left side part, up through the 2nd "s" in the word "mass".

Thanks all!

Duplicate the background layer and set this layers blending mode to screen.

You could also try 'bevel and emboss' or 'outer glow' to make it stand out.
