slowly!took the picture and overlaid the text (pure black) as a text layer. Duplicated the text layer 7 times and then lightened each layer to the shades I wanted.
Then used the Select Colo(u)r tool to pick the areas of the original picture that matched the shade of the text layer. Inverted that selection and removed it from the text layer. Repeat that for each text layer.
I normally then just add a single colour layer as the background, but it didn't work with this image, so I masked out certain areas and made a solid fill with 4 shades, giving a VERY rough picture with the text overlaid on top.
I can post up a composite picture showing each layer building up to the final image if you want :)

thank you muchly.
I'm currently having the Paul Newman one framed, along with one of my music ones (rolling stones lips with lyrics from my favourite 'stones tracks), both A1 sized. This might well get framed as well :)

the following fileis an animation of the picture building up from scratch. The first frame is the original picture, the second is the new background layer, consisting of 4 shades. Then each layer of text is added in and finally you get to see a single colour background and why it doesn't work with this image.
