Ellie's Treasures Tuts-for-any-Program-Radial Particle Tiles

Click here or scroll down to see alternate tiles They will both open in a new window and print out on standard 8½" X 11" paper For information about which fonts, programs, etc I used to construct my pages and my headers, click here.
For this tutorial you will need: Graphics Program: Any graphics program that allows 3rd party filters, such as the ones used here. You can even do it in free programs that use filters, such as IrfanView. There are instructions on their home site about adding filters to the program. Filters: Krusty Filters Volume 2 Version 1>>Pattern Generator Radial 3- all of the Krusty filters are available free here Scribe filters>Partical and 4Way Mirror - available free here *************** I am assuming you know the basics of your graphics program and where the tools can be located. Some shortcuts I use are**: PSP-Paint Shop Pro; PS-Photoshop; PSE-Photoshop Elements; PI-PhotoImpact This is an extremely easy tutorial and can be done by beginners.
Here are some arrows and bars you can drag and drop where you need to mark or underline where you are. . Just left click and drag to where you want it then let go. They will stay where you put them until you close your browser.
1. Open canvas 200X200 white. Go to Effects>Krusty Volume 2, version 1>Pattern Generator Radial 3. These are the settings I used for the rose colored tile: 10/255/236/111/138 play with the red, green, blue and brightness to get the color you want *some testers have had a problem choosing the right filter. Make sure you are in Krusty's FX volume 2, v1.01, and the filter name is Pattern Generator not just Generator. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th row are grayed out and it says Krusty's FX 1.0.1 in the bottom left corner, as shown in my screenshot. There is another set called volume 2 but it's version 2, and the filters are slightly different.
2. Go to Effects>Scribe>Partical and leave it at the default 0.
3. Go to Effects>Scribe>4Way Mirror, leave at default settings of 128-128 You can save as a jpg now or you can go on to the next step to mute it.
4. reduce opacity for a lighter effect In PI go to Edit>Fill, white at 50% transparency In PSP, right click in layer palette>new raster layer. Fill with fill tool, white, reduce opacity in layer to 50% In PS-PSE: Layer>New>Layer, then using Paint Bucket tool, fill with white, go to layer palette and reduce opacity to 50%.
Alternatives Here's the un-muted tile from Step 3 after applying Simple>Blintz to it after Scribe>4WayMirror the same tile after colorizing it
You're done! Don't forget to optimize PSP: (File>Export>Jpeg Optimizer). I usually optimize at about 10. PI: I usually optimize at about 90 PS and PSE: I usually save at about 8.

Back to top Webpage Design Information This webpage background was made in PhotoImpact with a tutorial by Deb DeHaven Sadly, she passed away and her site is gone. The font I used for all of the text on the buttons is BrockScript The font I used for the "Radial Particle Tile" tutorial header is Fantastic Pete. Click on the font name to download the font. I use PhotoImpact to make all of my headers due to the amazing 3D text it has and the wonderful presets available free online Most of the presets I use are either the ones that come with PhotoImpact, usually the Gel ones, or from Deb's PI Tutorials and More (see below) or Carol Oyl's site This is the address to Deb's old pages http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/millenit/1716/pitutorials/objects/presets/presets1.html I can't find any links to her new pages but the presets are still on this page for download. For more sites to find PI Presets, take a look at my Great Beginnings page.
