Before we
start, you should open the masks, and store them into your Easy
Palette. In case you need to freshen up your memory on how to save
a mask into the EP - you can take a look at one of my other
tutorials, where I explain a little bit more about how to use a
mask in PI. You'll find the tutorial here.
Important - in my tutorials my masks fit the chosen
background/object ... you achieve this by right clicking any mask
inside the original category Mask Library in your Easy Palette.
Now you choose the option Fit Mask.

Set
the Background color to Black (red arrow), and the Foreground
color to a nice light shade, you pick from the image. I used
153/153/168 (white arrow).
Open
your Easy Palette/Libraries (white hand) and double-click the mask
193MaskkelsWWA-invert (1), which
you've downloaded, unzipped and stored into the EP.
On the screenshot you can see that the mask applied on
the image (2).
Push 1 x
the Delete button (alternatively - go to Edit/Fill/ Color and
choose the Background color.)
Deselect (spacebar).
|
|
 |
Open
the tube (1),
copy (Ctrl+C)
it and paste
(Ctrl+V) the
copy on our main picture (2).
Close the original tube.
|
|
 |
Activate
the tube on the picture, choose the Transform Tool (white
hand)/Rotate and flip, and Flip Horizontally (red arrow).
Keep the tube selected. |
|
 |
Right click/Properties/Position&Size (white hand), and go to Size (1).
Check that you have crossed the box Keep aspect ratio
(red arrow) and change the Width to 320 (2). Now we can change the
position of the tube:
Left: 278 and Top: 28 (white arrows).
Click OK and keep the tube selected.
|
|
|
 |
Change
the Soft edge to 4 (red arrow), right click the tube/Duplicate,
and open the Layer Manager.
Activate the tube below - in this case you just click on the
second picture from the top (1). As soon as you have done so, the
blue marks will occur as you can see on the screenshot. Now while
the tube below is selected just right click the blue line and
choose Properties (white arrow).
That will open the usual Properties window, and you can choose
Position & Size/Position. Change the position to:
Left: 332 and Top: 28.
Click OK.

Here
on this screenshot you clearly can see the changed position (red
ring) of the below tube. Change also the Transparency of the below
tube to 50 (white hand).
Deselect the tube (Enter).
|
|
|
|
Open
your Easy Palette/Libraries (white hand) and double-click the mask
mask-border01 (1), which
you've downloaded, unzipped and stored into the EP.
On the screenshot you can see that the mask applied on
the image.
Make sure the Background color (red arrow) is as you wish - in
this case Black,- and push 1 x
the Delete button (alternatively - go to Edit/Fill/Color and
choose the Background color.)
Deselect (spacebar) and merge All.
Expand sides equally with 1 Pixel in your Foreground color, add
some text and your picture is finished :)) |
