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 (white hand), 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 (red arrow) and
use these settings (1):
Hue: 147
Saturation: -51
Lightness: 0.
Click OK and keep the tube activated.
|
|
 |
Effect/Xero/Porcelain
and use these settings:
50/128/128/148/0/0.
Click OK and keep the tube activated.
|
|
 |
Choose
the Pick Tool and change the Transparency to 24 (red arrow) and
the Soft edge to 9 (white hand).
Deselect the tube (Enter).
Twist the Background and the Foreground color with the help of
this little arrow icon (white arrow) ... the Background color
should now be the light one!
|
|
|
 |
Open
your Easy Palette/Libraries (white hand) and double-click the mask
... mask_001 (1) ... , which
you've downloaded, unzipped and stored into the EP.
On the screenshot you can see the mask applied on
the image (2), and you can see that I have the light color as my
Background color (red arrow). Press Delete, and the mask will be
filled with this light color.
Keep the mask selected.
|
|
|
|
Effect/Fills
and Textures/Texture Filter/Embossed (white hand) and choose the
Texture image (red arrow) with the name ... emboss010.bmp. Use the
default settings.
Merge All.
|
|
|
|
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 (1).
Right click/Invert (red arrow), right click/Convert to object
(white arrow).
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 (1)
... , which
you've downloaded, unzipped and stored into the EP.
Press Delete, and the mask will be filled with the light
Background color (2).
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 (1) ... , which we've used before.
Edit/Fill/Color and fill the mask with Black (2).
Now do 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).
