This tut was written on May 15, 2010. It is written using PSPX; I'm sure the same effects are available in other versions.
SUPPLIES Two tubes, one a closeup. I'm using the work of Elias Chatzoudis. You need to purchase a license to use this work from MPT.
The following filters: Eye Candy 4000 - Swirl and Shadowlab Mura's Meister - Copies (optional) AAA Filters - Transparent Frame
Font of choice (I'm using "A&S Signwriter")
Let's begin!
Pick two colors from your tube.
Open a new image, 600x250.
Floodfill with a gradient made from your colors (Linear, Angle = 0, Repeats = 4).
Add a new layer.
Selections - Select All.
Copy your tube, and Paste - Paste into Selection.
Selections - Select None.
Adjust - Blur - Radial Blur using the following settings:
Effects - Distortion Effects - Wave using the following settings:
Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance
Add your close-up tube, moving it to the right. Change the layer setting to Soft Light.
Layers - Merge - Merge Visible.
Duplicate this layer.
On the top layer, Eye Candy 4000 - Swirl using the Wispy preset.
Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance.
Change the layer setting to Multiply, and the opacity to 65.
NOTE - This part is totally optional. (If you wish to skip it, just scroll down to the point where the font turns black again.)
Change your background color to white, foreground = Nill.
Using the preset circle tool (set to Vector), draw out a tiny circle, like this:
Objects - Align - Center in Canvas.
Layers - Convert to Raster Layer.
Mura's Meister - Copies using the Tiling preset, but change the Tile Gap to 2.
Effects - 3D Effects - Drop Shadow using 0, 1, 50, 5, Black.
Change the layer setting to Overlay, and the opacity to 22.
Duplicate the bottom layer, and hide the original layer.
Layers - Merge - Merge Visible.
AAA Filters - Transparent Frame using the following setting.
Effects - 3D Effects - Drop Shadow using 0, 0, 100, 10, Black.
Add a new layer. Add a 2 pixel selection border. (Selections, Select All. Selections, Modify, Select Selection Borders - Inside, 2, anti-alias checked. Fill with your chosen color.)
Add your tube, moving it to the left.
Eye Candy 4000 - Shadowlab using the Faint Drop Shadow preset.
Add your name and all necessary copyright information.
For the avatar:
Duplicate your tag in PSP.
Remove the tube layers.
Crop to 150x150.
Add your 2 pixel selections border.
Add your name (or initial.)
