Drop Shadow usually V2 H2 50 5
Let's get started
*Remember to add your Drop Shadow as you go along*
Open a new image 600 x 250
Fill with a gradient of choice, I used the Metallic Silver that comes with PSP.
Paste paper #2, crop, then go to Adjust, blur, radial blur
with these settings
twirl checked, strength 50, twirl degree 10, Ellipitical checked
horizontal and vertical at 0
protect center at 10,
Change the blend mode to Luminance (L) then merge down.
Apply the PhotoEffex filter-Scanlines
width set at 2 and the noise amount at 50%.
Copy and paste your tube in the center, change the blend mode to Luminacne (L)
Duplicate your tube and move to one side and up so the hat does not show on this one, change the blend mode to Luminance (L) and lower the opacity to around 25 or what you like the looks of.
Apply the Xero filter-Porcelain, duplicate and mirror to the other side.
Resize element # 16 to 70% and move below the tubes layers move to the top and sharpen twice.
Copy and paste element #019 the tree and place behind the tube and move to one side or the other a bit, duplicate and
move to the other side a bit and merge down.
Resize element #44 to 50% and place on the right side, change the blend mode to Luminance (L).
Resize element #51 to 75% and place on the left side and change the blend mode to Luminance (L) and sharpen twice.
Paste element #15 and place on the left side, duplicate and mirror.
Take your Selection tool, draw out a small rectangle on the left side, new raster layer, fill with white, change the blend mode to soft light and lower the opacity to about 85.
Add your name and free rotate to the left 90.
Merge visible, and apply the AAA Frames-Foto Frame width at 5 and all else at default.
Add your copyright now.
For Avator
Open a new image 150 x 150, copy and paste
your finished tag, resize to 80% and adjust how you want it.
Merge visible and apply the AAA Frames-Foto Frame, width at 4 and all else at default.
Add your name and copyright and you are all done.
Hope you enjoyed doing this tut.
