Okay,
we're ready to begin:
-
Open your
image and choose two colors from it. One light
and one dark color.
Tip: If you use your own image, you should make a
brush with it first as described in Step 20 of
this tutorial.
-
Make a gradient with your two colors
with settings:
|
Style: linear
Angle: 90
Repeat: 1 |
-
Open a new
transparent image, size 398 x 398 and fill with the
gradient.
-
Go to
Adjust -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur - Radius = 50.
-
Go to Effects -> Texture Effects ->
Mosaic Antique, with these settings:
|
Number of columns:50
Number of rows: 50
Tile
Diffusion: 40
Grout
width: 2
Grout
Diffusion: 40 |
-
Add a new Raster layer and set your
foreground to your dark color.
-
Go to your tools palette, choose the
Airbrush and find the Shadow Brush which was provided
for you. The size should be 500.
Alternatively you can
use the brush you made yourself.
The settings should look like this:
Size 500
Step 32
Density 100
Opacity 100
Blende Mode: Normal
-
Now
add the brush to your image - in the center
-
Add
a new Raster layer
-
Go
to Selections -> Load Selection from Disk, and find
the psp_droom_shadow
-
Fill
with the gradient
-
Selections / Deselect ( Ctrl +D)
-
Go to Effects -> 3D Effects ->
Drop Shadow, with these settings:
 |
Vertical: 2
Horizontal: 2
Opacity: 35
Blur: 37,5
Color: Black
|
-
Activate your image. Edit / Copy.
-
Go
to your canvas and Paste it onto the canvas. Resize it
if necessary. If you used the image I supplied you
don't need to resize it.
-
Move the
image in place where you prefer it.
-
Repeat the same Drop Shadow as in step 13.
-
Go
to Layers -> Merge -> Merge All
-
Go to Edit -> Copy, and minimize the
image. We are going to proceed with the background.
************************************************
-
You can make a brush with your own tube
-
Make sure your image is not bigger than
500 x 500 pixels
-
Go to File -> Export -> Custom Brush ->
fill in the name and description and that's it. You've
just made your own brush!
How easy is that! :-)
*****************************************************
NOW FOR THE BACKGROUND
-
Open a new transparent image 1024 x
450 px and fill with the gradient, with the same
settings as in step 2.
-
Adjust -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur,
with Radius: 50.
-
Effects -> Texture Effects -> Mosaic
Antique with the same settings as in step 5 of the
image.
-
Edit -> Paste as New Layer ( it is
still in the memory) and don't move it!
-
Layers -> New Raster Layer.
-
Selections -> Load Selections from
disk ->
find the psp-droom shadow 2, apply, and fill with the
gradient.
-
Selections -> Select None ( or use
Ctrl +D )
-
Effects -> 3D Effects -> Drop
Shadow with the same settings as in step 13.
-
Go to your layers palette and change the
opacity of this layer to 50%
-
In the layer palette, right click on this
layer and Duplicate.
-
Go to Image -> Mirror
-
Layers -> Merge -> Merge All ( Flatten )
You are
finished. I hope you enjoyed this lesson :-)
I wrote this tutorial myself from an idea
I had.
Any resemblance to other tutorials are
purely coincidental.
