PI
Version:
12 (but you can use earlier versions too)
Level:
Intermediate
Featured tools:
Pick Tool, Eraser, Transform Tool
Additional filters:
None
Additional files:
2 tubes, 2 masks and one texture.
You'll get the material in the zip-file.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The tubes are from the internet, and the texture is made by Filly.
One mask is from gerrysplace.nl
and the other one I got with a magazin -
you are allowed to download them here and use them for your
private use,
but you are not allowed to change the name of the tubes/masks,
delete the watermarks, neither offer them for sale or download.
The copyright © belongs ALWAYS to the original artist/designer!
No copyright infringement is intended.

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 a New Image, 800x600 Pixels, color: 220/203/140.
Open
your Easy Palette/Libraries (white hand) and double-click the mask
gerryles20 (1), which
you've downloaded, unzipped and stored into your EP.
On the screenshot you can see the mask applied on
the image (2).

Go to Edit/Fill/Image (white arrow)/File (red arrow) and find
(white hand) the downloaded and unzipped texture with the name,
filly_texture_16.jpg.

these settings:

If you have the Preview box ticked (white hand), you can see the
original color of the mask in the left preview window (1), and our
new, chosen, color in the right preview window (2).
Click OK and keep the mask activated.

Right
click/Cut (white arrow), and right click one more time, but this
time choose Paste (red arrow).
(The mask is now an object and we can work further on it as we
wish.)
Keep the mask activated.

Right
click/Shadow and use these settings:
Color: Black (white hand), the 1.alternative (red arrow) and

the tube - by_stirner_onflowers -, copy (Ctrl+C) the tube (1), activate
our main picture (2), and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy of the tube on

should still be activated.
Right
click the tube, choose Properties/Position & Size (3) /Size
and resize the tube.
Make sure the box "Keep aspect ratio" is ticked (red
arrow), and change the Width to 802 (white hand).
