For this tutorial you
will need: Ulead PhotoImpact I've done this tutorial in PI XL and PI 12 I believe it can be done in most versions. You may have to look around for the commands but it's likely they are there.  Filters and materials needed Funhouse - ZigZaggerate and Xaggerate FM Tile tools - Blend Emboss Simple - Four Way Average Graphic Plus - Cross Shadow Bordermania Flaming pear - Transline Supplies in zip file here http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/don't-love-one-pi-ps-material.zip The material has been prepared so that you can open it with different versions of the program. I am assuming you know the basics of PhotoImpact and where the tools can be located. My filter windows may look different from yours as I use Filters Unlimited 2 to manage my filters. |
| 1. You can either use the canvas I made for you with the gradient already applied, or make your own gradient. If you are using my canvas, skip to step 2. If you choose to make your own gradient, follow these instructions. Open a new canvas of 640 x 480 Go to Edit>Fill>Gradient Click on color box by Magic Gradient,  In the next window, click on Mode 1 and change the repeats to 3.50. Then click on Edit  In the next window, pick number 016. To change the colors, right click on each color box and click on Change Color. Now change the colors to what I've indicated. #D87F9D mauve position 267; #FDD981 light yellow positions 177 and 358; #EDAE45 orange position 86  Click on ok in each window. Your canvas will now be filled with the gradient. If grad comes out going up to left instead of right, go to the transform tool and flip canvas horizontally. Mine wouldn't change to the right orientation, not sure if it was just messing up or what, so I just left it and flipped it. No problem. |
2. Effect>Blur>Gaussian Blur (in PI 12 it's Photo>Blur>), click on the Options button and set it at radius of 45   Effects>Funhouse - ZigZaggerate at default of 60-60   Effects>Simple - 4way average  Effects>Sharpen>Emphasize Edges pick the top right one, in PI 12 it's Photo>Sharpen)   Effect>Graphic Plus>Cross Shadow-Vertical and Intensity 35 and Brightness on 67   If you are using Filters Unlimited as I do, if you hold the Alt key down while clicking Apply you can do multiple filters without it closing down between each one. |
| 3. Open and Copy (Control-C) marif misteddecor0100 and paste (control-V) on your canvas. (Make sure that the object is selected before copying it) Move it to bottom right as shown, partially off the canvas  Change blend mode to luminosity only and the opacity to 74  In PI 12 change opacity to 26  |
| 4. Open and Copy marif misted fleurs and paste on your canvas. Move this right above the angle as shown  Change blend mode to luminosity only and the opacity to 80 In PI 12 change opacity to 20  |
| 5. open and copy marif misted face and paste into canvas Move it to the left side as shown  Blend mode on hard light and opacity at 27 In PI 12 opacity will be 73 Effects>FM Tile tools>Blend Emboss at default  Effect>Photographic>Sunlight (in PI 12 it's Photo>Enhance>Sunlight) and use these settings 0-0-68-0-cool-warm at 0, blue sky, strength 50, direction 0   |
| 6. Open and copy Don't Love One, paste onto canvas as shown below. With it still selected, In the Easy Palette, click on Button Gallery, Any Shape and double click on A15 Go to Format>Brightness and Contrast, and set it at Brightness -11, Contrast 40, Gamma 0.86    |
| 7. Right click, Merge all If you want your tag to be 600 px width then reduce the size to 540 pix wide because a frame of approximately 63 pixels will be added Duplicate (Control-D) and minimize copy |
