Title: DIAMONDS Post by: aremgy on November 09, 2010, 05:39:40 pm D I A M O N D S (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/aremgy/Tuts/DiamondsSampleAV.gif) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/aremgy/Tuts/DiamondsSampleTag.gif) This tut was written on November 09, 2010. It is written using PSPX; I'm sure the same effects are available in other versions. SUPPLIES A tube. I'm using the work of Alayna Magnan, formerly of CILM. She is currently with MPT (http://www.mypsptubes.com). The following filters: Xero - Fritallary DSB Flux - Bright Noise MuRa's Meister - Copies Font of choice (I'm using "Aquaduct") Let's begin! Pick two colors from your tube - a lighter color in the foreground, a darker shade of the same color in the background. Make a foreground gradient - Sunburst, Repeats 3. Open a new image, 600x250. Floodfill your image with the gradient. Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise using Uniform, 12, Monochromatic checked. Xero - Fritallary using the default setting. Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance. Duplicate this layer twice (for a total of three.) On each layer, DSB Flux - Bright Noise using Intensity 47. (Click the radial button before "Mix" each time.) Highlight the top layer, and add a new layer. Selection Tool - Custom Selection using the following setting: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/aremgy/Tuts/DiamondsSS1.png) Change the foreground gradient to Linear, Angle 90, Repeats 3 and fill the selection. Selections - Select None. MuRa's Meister - Copies using the Line preset, BUT... Change the number from 8 to 13. Change Shift X from 100 to 0 Change Shift Y from 0 to 100. Image - Free Rotate using the following setting: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/aremgy/Tuts/DiamondsSS2.png) Using the Move tool, move the lines to the upper left corner of the image - just until the upper left corner is covered, as in this sample: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/aremgy/Tuts/DiamondsSS3.png) Selection Tool - Custom Selection using the following setting: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/aremgy/Tuts/DiamondsSS4.png) Selections - Invert. DELETE Duplicate this layer. Image - Mirror. Layers - Merge Down. Duplicate the merged layer. Image - Flip. Layers - Merge Down. Add the same noise you added earlier. Effects - 3D Effects - Drop Shadow using 1, 1, 100, 1, black. Add your tube, cropping if necessary. Add a blurry drop shadow (I used Eye Candy 4000 - Shadowlab.) (You may, if you wish, use Xero - Porcelain on the tube layer (set blue to 0.)) Add a 2 pixel Selection Border, using your dark color. Add your name and all necessary copyright information. Animate as usual, changing the Frame Properties to 35. For the avatar: Duplicate your tag (Shift + D.) Remove the layer with your tube. Crop to 150x150. Add your 2 pixel selections border. Add your name (or initial.) You may, if you wish, choose to animate your avatar. Here is another example, using the work of Andreas Rocha: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/aremgy/Tuts/DiamondsSampleAV1.png) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/aremgy/Tuts/DiamondsSampleTag1.gif) Title: Re: **New** DIAMONDS Post by: susy on November 14, 2010, 07:51:29 pm I've lost my mojo this week.
Help me, Rich! ??? I can't seem to follow this tut. When I use the line preset at Mura Copies and change the number from 8 to 13, my result is just one long line. What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to get 13 lines. LMAO! Title: Re: **New** DIAMONDS Post by: aremgy on November 14, 2010, 09:38:53 pm eek!
that's because the tut is wrong... i'll correct it now :) Title: Re: **New** DIAMONDS Post by: susy on November 15, 2010, 09:18:04 am Thanks, Sweetie!
I've been PSPing for years, and I can usually improvise to one point or another, but, I couldn't fake my way thru this one. Let me go back and try again! Title: Re: **New** DIAMONDS Post by: susy on November 15, 2010, 01:17:01 pm OK, I got it now! That was easy.
Thanks I made this for you if you want it.

these are fantastic!! thanks, Miss Ketta... Title: Re: **New** DIAMONDS Post by: huronna on December 05, 2010, 12:13:04 am Had to be the easiest tut to follow, so simple yet what stunning results
I know you are into sexy ladies with big boobies, and even though this is a kitty, I didn't think it was your type of image So I made it for myself LOL (http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp64/huronnatags/Avatar/DianmondH.gif) (http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp64/huronnatags/Avatar/DavidStribblingDiamond_hur.gif) Title: Re: **New** DIAMONDS Post by: Spawn on December 14, 2010, 05:40:36 am I had to leave the frame properties alone as changing to 35 made it near enough a still image lol

It didn't have a copyright on it. I can delete it if you want though.

I can delete it if you want though. it's important that you only used copyright compliant images...if you go to The Zone Groups (www.thezonegroups.com), there are a lot of people there that can help you find images you can use here... huggs R Title: Re: DIAMONDS Post by: Vesta on February 27, 2012, 09:31:07 pm I played with this one a little!
