DESCRIPTION:
Make a stylish Sig Tag with PI and different 3rd
party filter.
|
 |
Open a New Image:
White canvas
and 500x300 Pixels.
Go to Edit/Fill/Gradient (1) and choose the 4.alternative (white
hand).
Fill color/Two-color. I used:
0/32/64 (red arrow)
196/225/255 (white arrow).
With the filter we are using afterwards I recommend that you
choose one very dark color and a lighter (not too light) shade of
the same color as second color.
|
|
 |
Effect/ECWS
(red arrow)/Tile Maker 1.0 (white arrow), and use this setting:
Edge Width: 144.
Using FU, you can hold down ALT and click apply, because we are
going to use the same filter one more time, but have change the
Edge Width to 108.
If you don't have Filters Unlimited, you just apply this filter
twice ... the first time with the setting mentioned above (Edge
Width 144), and the second time with the setting Edge Width 108. |
|
 |
Selection Tool
(white hand), and choose Fixed size (red arrow): 250/250.
Make the selection and try to make it in the middle of the
picture, as you can see it on the screenshot. (You can also move
the selection into the middle afterwards by using the arrow keys
on your keyboard.)
Right click/Convert to Object and keep the object selected.
Go to Edit/Fill/Gradient and fill with the same gradient as you
used before.
Keep the object selected, and go to ECWS/ Tile Maker 1.0, and use
the setting: 30.
Drag the object aside, as you can see on the next screenshot. |
|
 |
The
object is now our little picture (1).
Activate the main picture (2), and go to Edit/Undo, until before
we created a new selection (red arrow).
Effect/FM Tile Tools/Blend Emboss and use the default settings.
|
|
|
 |
Copy
(Ctrl+C) the object (1), activate our main picture (2), and paste (Ctrl+V) the
copy of the object on it.
Right click the object on our main picture/ Align/Center Both (red arrow). |
|
|
|
Right
click/Shadow, Color: Black (white hand), and choose the 1.alternative
(red arrow). Use these settings:
4/4/50/100/10.
Click OK and keep the object selected.
Effect/FM Tile Tools/Blend Emboss and use the default settings.
|
|
|
|
Open
the tube and resize it to a Width of 249 (Height: 242).
Copy (Ctrl+C) the resized tube (1), activate the main picture (2), and paste (Ctrl+V) the tube on it.
Right click the tube/Properties/Position & Size (white hand)/Position:
Left: 124 (red arrow)
Top: 39 (white arrow)
Click OK and close the original tube ... your tube on the main
picture should still be activated.
|
|
|
|
|
Go
to Photo/Hue&Saturation/Colorize (red arrow), and color the
tube to fit your background. Here I used these settings:
Hue: 34
Saturation: -48
Lightness: -13
Click OK and keep the tube activated. |
|
|
|
|
Choose the Pick Tool (white arrow)
and set the Transparency to 30 (red arrow).
Deselect the tube (return key).
Go to Effect/Bordermania/Frame #2, and use these settings:
4/4/110/130 + Notch Corners.
Merge All.
