DESCRIPTION:
Make a beautiful picture with PI.
Tutorial:
Copyright © Inge Klement
PI
Version:
12 (but you can use earlier versions too)
Level:
Intermediate
Featured tools:
None
Additional filters:
None
Additional files:
2 tubes, 1 goldfill and 2 masks.
You'll get them in the zip-file.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The tube I'm using is from a tube group - Top
Design Tubes, (tuber: Yoka).
Tubes: you are allowed to download
them and use them for your
private use,
but you are not allowed to change the name of the tubes,
delete the watermarks, offer the tubes for sale or download
or use them for your own tutorials.
The copyright © belongs ALWAYS to the original artist/designer!
No copyright infringement is intended. |
Before we
start, you should open the mask, and store it 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!
