    I am not quite sure what I just did but, you have to play with the selection/ image and inverse in the color range adjustment step. It turned up as a black burst, then when the color grad is applied it turns out. It was the only way I could get the free transform to act properly. Ill report back after I practice this step again. Thanks of rthe lesson I had been looking for this very technique.
