Illuminated
Angel

See 2 more done by Cindy below.
Supplies Needed:
JASC Paint Shop Pro Version 8 - get a
trial version HERE
Angel Tube of your choice or get the one I used HERE.
I do not know the origin of this
tube. I received it through a group to which I
belong.
If it is yours, please let me know so that I can
acknowledge your authorship.
This is a "quickie".
If you are not familiar with the tools in PSP8 this may
be difficult to follow.
| Open a new image 300 X 300, raster
background, 16 million colors,
transparent. |
| Create a new layer. |
|
Flood Fill with the color you
want to use. I used #2C7DD8 light
blue.  |
|
Click on Effects>Illumination
effects>Sunburst
Set the options on the screen as
follows:
Color:
White
Light spot: Brightness 100, Horizontal: 8,
Vertical 7
Rays:
Density 100, Brightness 100
Circle:
Brightness = 0
Then Click
OK This is the
background image. |
| Open your Angel image.
Copy it and paste as a new image. Put the
original away. If necessary resize it to
fit the background image you made. I made
mine a width of about 220 pixels and let the
smart size change the height. After you
resize, sharpen. |
| Now copy the angel and paste into
the background image as a new layer.
I left mine right there but you can move it
wherever you want using the mover tool
. |
| Apply the illumination effect
again....same settings
(Yes on the Angel) |
| If you prefer a smaller image,
resize now. |
| Create a new
layer. Add a name.
Use the deformation tool to change the direction
of the text if you like. Add a drop shadow
if you want. |
If you wish to add a border like
mine.
Use the Selection tool, rectangle and choose a
10 pixel border inside the image.
Flood fill with a darker blue. Then create
an inner bevel. I used these
settings. Color #5A6C9A, Bevel #1,
Width 1, Smoothness 10, Depth 5, Ambience 0,
Shininess 80, Angle 315, Intensity 25, Elevation
40.
Then I added a drop shadow....Offset Vert=2, Horiz=2,
Opacity=78, Blur=3, Color=Black.
Or do something of your own!
And you are done. |
