Material


IMPORTANT NOTE:  
Supplies: The tubes are from Patry and Kara2601 - thanks a lot for your beautiful work.
The scrap elements I've got from different Yahoo-groups, one of the masks is from the internet,
two of the masks and the background are made by me.
You are allowed to download the material here and use it for your private use, 
but you are not allowed to change the name of the tubes/elements/masks/background,
delete the watermark, neither offer them for sale or download. 
The copyright © belongs ALWAYS to the original artist/designer!
No copyright infringement is intended.

 

Remember to save often!

 

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 pictures before I tell you to do so!

Change the Background color to: 202/119/159, and the Foreground color to: 240/217/227.

Open the tube ... Kara T2420 ... and drag the tube on your free working space. 
The background of the tube should now be 202/119/159. 
Keep the tube activated.

Go to Photo/Color/Hue & Saturation/Colorize and use these settings:

Choose the Pick Tool and change the Transparency to 24 and the Soft edge to 9.
Deselect the tube (Enter).

Twist the Background and the Foreground color with the help of this little arrow icon ... 
the Background color should now be the light one!

Open your Easy Palette/Libraries and double-click the mask ... mask_001 ... , which you've downloaded, unzipped and stored into the EP.

Press Delete, and the mask will be filled with the light Background color.

Open your Easy Palette/Libraries and double-click the mask ... cg_mask0092 ... , 
which you've downloaded, unzipped and stored into the EP.
Go to Edit/Fill/Color and fill the mask with Black. I'm using Black because it's quite 
a different color to the rest of the picture.

Right click/Invert, right click/Convert to object. 

Drag now our new object on your free working space and save as UFO. I saved it as pic_001.
Minimize the picture (pic_001).



Open the text file ... text_scrapblend-002 ... and deselect the text (Enter).

Open your Easy Palette/Libraries and double-click the mask ... mask_002 ... , which you've downloaded, unzipped and stored into the EP.
Press Delete, and the mask will be filled with the light Background color. 

Keep the mask selected, open the Texture Filter and use the same Texture image, with the same settings as we did the first time.
Merge All.

Open your Easy Palette/Libraries and double-click the mask ... cg_mask0092 ... , which we've used before.
Edit/Fill/Color and fill the mask with Black.

Now we'll redo the same steps as we did with our first picture -
right click/Invert, right click/Convert to object, 
and then drag the object on your free working space and save as UFO. I saved it as pic_002.
Minimize the picture (pic_002).
