Fragile Porcelain Stat
I am using PSP 9, but other version will do.
MATERIALS:
- A graphic of choice
- Filter FM Tile Tools, Blend Emboss
- Filter Toadies, Glasswork Colours
- Filter Xero, Porcelain
1. Choose a nice graphic, taller than wider if possible. Make two copies. Minimize one copy and close the original.
2. Let's work with one of the copies. Promote it to background layer. Resize the image to no more than 300 pixels wide. Tick: Resample using Bicubic; Lock aspect ratio; and Resize all layers.
3. Adjust < Blur < Gaussian Blur, radius 5.
4. Effects < Distortion Effects < Pixelate.
5. FM Tile Tools, Blend Emboss, with the settings below:
6. Effects < Distortion Effects < Twirl, 720 degrees. Apply twice.
7. Adjust < Blur < Gaussian Blur, radius 5.
8. Repeat steps 4 and 5.
9. Effects < Image Effects < Seamless Tiling, default setting.
10. Open a new transparent image, 1280 pixels wide, and give it 50 pixels more than the actual size of your image (from now on,'the pattern').
11. Look for the pattern in the Patterns palette and floodfill the new image.
12. Activate the copy and choose two colours (a light and a dark one) for your background and foreground palettes. Now, look for your foreground-background gradient. Arrange the gradient so the lighter colour is on your left.
13. Open a new layer and floodfill it with the gradient. Lower the layer opacity to 50 and change the Blend mode to Luminance.
14. Layers < Merge All. Effects < Image Effects < Seamless Tiling, default setting.
15. Repeat step 5.
16. Activate the second copy. Copy it and paste as new layer on your working image. Move it to your left and use the Raster Deform tool to stretch it till it reaches the same height of your image.
17. Apply the filter Toadies < Glasswork Colours on your copy of the graphic.
18. Using your Selection tool, select the image.
Helvetica Light es una fuente fácil de leer, con letras altas y ceñidas, que funciona bien en muchos sitios.
19. Selections < Invert. Edit < Clear. Deselect.
20. Effects < Image effects < Seamless Tiling:
Poppins es una fuente creada para resaltar, que se inspira en la escritura a mano. Seguro que captará la atención de tus lectores, especialmente en párrafos cortos.
21. Apply a drop of shadow: V & H: 1; O: 55; B: 3; Colour: Black. Do not forget to tick 'Shadow on New layer', please!
22. Repeat Step 20.
23. On your background layer, apply the filter Xero, Porcelain:
24. Add your credits and watermark. Export as jpg, compression 25.
Cute and really delicate. Did you pay attention to the result of Step 17? It would make a beautiful tag, wouldn't it?
