Blinky Tutorial
by Felicia Benoit |
|
|
|
Well, here's one I've been meaning to do for a
while, just to see how I liked it. I hated it. I had the devil
of a time with the color replacer tool. (Hint if you do this
tutorial yourself: reset the color replacer tool's tolerance
level to something that actually works, I suggest 40-50.) And it
just seemed to take a long time to do such a small thing.
However, I know they're a rage, and they aren't all that hard,
and I figured someone who saw mine might appreciate knowing
where I learned it. |

Another problem was that I chose a
"complimentary" color, not a bright and off-the-wall
color. Trust me, try it with something ODD and BRIGHT. It'll
look more like it's "blinking". Enjoy! |

I had the devil of a time figuring out how to
manage the border here. It still didn't turn out like the
tutorial one, but I liked it anyhow. I'm just a sucker for
orange, peach, and puffy edges. |

Intermediate Tutorial
Dimensions
With Masks
By Whispers Corner |
|
|
|
Well, I had a very simple problem with this
one. "FILL WITH INTERIOR COLOR UNCHECKED" wasn't in
there for the "cutout" steps. I ended up with some
freakish black and white blob. So, I backed up and looked again,
and figured it out. Must say, liked it a lot better the second
time. LOL. |

Wish you could center masks on the part of the
picture you want. So, I tried again with a different subject,
but it still was a little off. Oh well. They're both pretty
anyhow. |

I turned the panel to a gold emboss by going
to: Effects: Texture Effects: Sculpture. I
used the default "GOLD"
setting, but changed the setting "DEPTH"
to a higher number until I got the effect I was after.
Note: This setting
will color the entire thing gold, no matter what color you
started with.
The one in the last panel is done the same
way, but I used "COPPER"
setting, increasing the depth again. For some added fun, try
changing the default color (Not pattern, the color on the upper
right hand side) to blue or red or green. It makes some fun
effects. |

Well, this was pretty simple, since I could
see going in that I knew how to make the border. Turned out,
while it was easy, I learned some stuff, too. I liked how they
manipulated the selection tool, getting a good square without
having to try to draw it on the picture.
Obviously, mine has some changes. First, I
leather-textured the outside border to match the inner bars.
Second, my leaves don't look quite the same, which was fine with
me. Less "lined up" the better. |
