Tunnel Tile |

|
For this tutorial you will need:
ULead PhotoImpact - available for purchase
here
or
Jasc Paint Shop Pro - available for purchase
here
This tutorial will work in either of these programs.
Filters needed
Filter Factory Gallery D - Tunnel Tile available free
here
(complete set of Filter Factory)
Simple Quick Tile - available free
here
Supplies needed
Gold or Silver corner or dingbat, click
here for the three I
used, in psd format so they can be used in any program.
You can get a very different result using various color
combinations,
different corners or dings and making the center selection
smaller or bigger.
My plugin windows may look different from yours as I use Filters
Unlimited 2 to manage my plugins - available for purchase
here.
I am assuming you know the basics of your graphics program and where
the tools can be located.

Instructions

Screenshots |
|
1. Open a new canvas,
200 X 200 pixels, white.
Fill it with a color of your choosing or one picked from the
graphic with the eyedropper tool. Open a gold or silver ding or
corner, copy and minimize.
|
 |
|
2. Make a square
selection in the middle, about 110 X 100, doesn't matter if
you're a bit off.
|
 |
|
3. For PhotoImpact:
Leaving it selected, go to edit>fill>image>Clipboard>tile the
image, transparency at 50%. Keep in mind that the lighter color
will be the main color of the tile, the darker color will be an
accent in the tile. The smaller the inner selection, the more of
the darker color you will see as an accent. Merge all.
|
 |
|
3. For PSP: click on
your color box of your fill color, when color picker opens, pick
a lighter color of the shade you used, fill selection with it.
Keep in mind that the lighter color will be the main color of
the tile, the darker color will be an accent in the tile. Paste
as a new layer the gold ding or corner. Merge all (flatten).
