IMPORTANT NOTE:
The masks are from CAZ - you can find these and others here.
The background picture and the tube are mine - I've made
them from royalty free pictures.
They are only for your
private use - you are not allowed to claim them as yours,
offer them for sale or download, or use them for your own tutorials.
Do not change the watermark of the tube.

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.
Very important:
Do NOT merge the picture
before I tell you
to do so!

Open the background picture, background_0034.jpg.
Open
your Easy Palette/Libraries (white hand) and double-click the mask
CAZMask14-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).

Go
to Edit/Fill/ Color (red arrow) and
choose the color 91/108/125 (1).
Change the Transparency to 40% (white hand).
Click OK and deselect the mask (spacebar).
|
|
 |
Open the tube woman_0043_tut, copy (Ctrl+C)
the tube (1) and paste
(Ctrl+V) the
copy on our main picture (2).
Close the original tube, the tube on the main picture should still
be
activated.
Right click the tube/Properties/Position & Size (white hand), and set
the Position to:
Left: 297 (red arrow) and Top: 1 (white arrow).
Click OK and deselect the tube (Enter).

Open
your Easy Palette/Libraries (white hand) and double-click the mask
CAZMask61 (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).
Check that your background color is White (red arrow), and push 1 x
the Delete button (alternatively - go to Edit/Fill/Color and
choose White - 255/255/255.)
Deselect the mask (spacebar).

the tube on the background, right click and choose Duplicate
