| DESCRIPTION:
Make
a stylish Sig Tag with
PI and different UnPlugged Effects filters.
|
 |
New Image: Canvas color:
Black and Size: 210x290 Pixels.
Open the tube you want to use and resize it to a Height of 242
Pixels. After resizing, go to Format/Focus/ Options and set
the Level to +1.
Activate the resized tube (1), copy (Ctrl+C) the tube, activate the main
picture (2) and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy on it.
Right
click/Properties/Position&Size (white hand)/ Position:
Left: 43 (red arrow)
Top: 43 (white arrow)
Click OK.
Right click/Merge All.
Minimize the "original" tube (1).
|
|
 |
Effect/UnPlugged Effects (red arrow)/Lens Reflection (white arrow) and
use these settings (1):
0/15/16.
Your screenshot might look different, since I'm using Filters
Unlimited 2 ... but the settings are the same anyway.
Click Apply.
|
|
 |
Effect/UnPlugged Effects (red arrow)/ Tangent Deform (white arrow) and
use these settings (1):
99/0/50/130/144/98.
As before ... even if you don't have FU, the settings for the
filter remain the same.
Click Apply. |
|
|
|
Maximize
the tube again and resize it to a Height of 225 Pixels.
keep the tube activated, copy (Ctrl+C) the resized tube (1), activate the main
picture (2) and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy on it.
Right click/Properties/Position&Size
(white hand)/Position:
Left: 48 (red arrow)
Top: 58 (white arrow)
Click OK.
Now you can close the "original" tube (1).
|
|
|
|
Activate
the tube on the main picture and go to Format/Hue &
Saturation. Choose Colorize (red arrow), and for this example
leave the rest of the settings as the are. (The color is just
right as it appears now!)
|
|
|
|
Keep
the tube activated, right click/ Shadow, and choose a bright
color (white arrow) from your picture. I used ... 100/228/228.
5. alternative (red arrow)
Transparency: 45
Shadow size: 105
Soft edge: 10
Click OK.
Right click/Merge All.
|
|
|
|
Go
to Format/Expand Canvas and change the Expand color
(white arrow) to a bright color from your picture
(100/228/228). Expand sides equally (red arrow) with 1 Pixels
(white hand).
Format/Expand Canvas, change the Expand color to Black and
Expand sides equally with 20 Pixels.
Format/Expand Canvas, change the Expand color to the same
bright color as before and Expand sides equally with 1 Pixels.
Add a name as you wish, and your taggie is finished! :))

Your
Sig Tag could also look like this one ...
|
|
|
|
|
...
or like this one! On this taggie I didn't change the color of
the tube, but I did change the Transparency, so the tube would
merge into the background. :))
|
|
| That's it! A stylish Sig Tag ... made with
PI and different filters from
UnPlugged Effects. HAVE FUN!!!
