Open
a New Image, Canvas: White and Size: 400x450. You decide
which size you want to use - this is just meant as an example.
Go to Edit/Fill/Gradient (white hand)/Magic Gradient (1).
Choose the Mode 10 (white arrow), click the Edit button (red
arrow) and choose palette 046 (2).
Have in mind, that these are only suggestions - you can use
any mode and color (you can even make your own gradients) ... you just have to find out if you like
the result or not. It's no problem to use the Undo or the
Ctrl+Z command. |
|
 |
Open
your Easy Palette and find the folder where you've saved the
mask you want to use. Here ... Object Libraries/ My Masks/tut_027.
Double-click the second mask (1) we made ... where the boat is
black and the background is grey .
Change the background color to Black (white hand), and click
the Delete key on your keyboard. (You can also go to
Edit/Fill/Color and fill the mask with Black - or whatever color
you want too!)
Deselect the mask (click the space bar).

If
you like, you can now leave the picture as it is (see
screenshot), but if you want to try different possibilities
for your picture,
follow on :)

|
 |
Right
click/All and go to Object/Insert Image Object/Via Copy (red
arrow). This step will add a new copy of your picture on top
of the one we worked on. Just leave the picture as it is ... DON'T MERGE!
Go to Edit/Fill/Gradient/Magic Gradient.
Choose the Mode 10 as before, but this time we choose the
palette 004. Your picture should now look like the one on the
screenshot below.
|
|
 |
Double-click
the inverted mask (1) as before. |
|
|
 |
Right
click/Properties/Merge, and find a Merge method you like. For
this picture I used Colorize (red arrow).
On the picture I've already used the Merge method - just to show
you how the picture would look like!
Merge all. |
On the next screenshot I want to show you how your picture
could look like with a different Merge method. The pictures on
the 1.row (1-4) are exactly made after the tutorial. For the
pictures on the 2.row (5-8) I used the same fills via
Edit/Fill/Gradient/Magic Gradient (also in the same order!),
and the same kind of mask, the first time I used the
"original" mask - tutorial_027, and the second time (on
the blue gradient) I used the
inverted mask.

1
= Merge: Multiply
2 = Merge: Inverse of Multiply
3 = Merge: Difference
4 = Merge: Colorize
5 = Merge: Multiply
6 = Merge: Inverse of Multiply
7 = Merge: Difference
8 = Merge: Colorize
|
|
And
that's how my finished picture looks in the original size :))
|
|
|
| That's
it! A beautiful picture, easily made with masks and PI ... and
best of all -
there are really a lot of possibilities to achieve
beautiful and different pictures by using this method.
HAVE FUN!!!
