DEATHMATCH ENTRY - tape
|
|
|
| This one's for the Drop-Dead Amazing Techniques and/or Little Scrap of
Horrors category: Make your own metallic Halloween charms! But watch
out, they're so sharp you might accidentally hurt somebody with them,
and we wouldn't want that, would we...? *WEG* This technique was
inspired by (but is by no means a direct copy of) Lesson 5 of the
Designing Digital Scrapbook Components class at http://www.lvsonline.com
- thanks, Lori and Sally!
Here's how to do it. Lay down some text or a shape: stroke null, fill
one of the metallic gradients (I used Metal brass) set to linear, angle
135. Apply Inner Bevel: the Rubber covered preset (bevel #7, width 23,
smoothness 26, depth 8, ambience 17, shininess 44, color white, angle
319, intensity 40, elevation 40). Apply Chrome: flaws 2, brightness 60,
use original color checked. Apply Manual Color Correction: draw a box
around your charm in the left preview window for the source color, then
choose a preset target color or enter one of your own (I chose Metals >
GoldRed, preserve lightness checked). Add a drop shadow if you wish and
you're done.
For good measure, I'm also throwing in a custom brush + preset of mine
that you can use to sprinkle stars on your Halloween sky. Unzip the
preset to your Presets folder and the rest to your Brushes folder.
Happy Halloween, everyone!

oooh! Lessons, goodies & a gold cat! Quite a haul this year! :-D
Thanks, Tanja - I love metallic stuff & your tutorial will come in handy
(esp. with Christmas graphics season coming up!). Of course, I love that you
used a cat as your example. <g>
Pegs. : )

I had this one until "Apply Manual Color Correction" Could you give me
some guidance for that direction? Thanks for sharing this technique. --

PSP 7: Effects > Enhance Photo > Manual Color Correction
PSP 8 & 9: Adjust > Color Balance > Manual Color Correction
In PSP X, you'll need to dig it out of the unused commands: View >
Customize, Commands tab, select Unused Commands on the left and scroll
down in the window on the right. Drag and drop Manual Color Correction
to whichever menu or toolbar you prefer, then close the customize dialog
and go to where you dragged the command.
Attached is a screenshot of the settings I used.

I love the way you did the gold, Tanya! The night sky background gives
it an extra spooky touch, too. I'll make sure not to show it to the
ratties, though ;-)
