Quotation and technique
On another post earlier this year, Solitude, and a quotation this comment followed from Marilyn ...
so, in a round-a-bout fashion, this is a kind of tutorial as to how I achieve certain effects. Because I don't use PhotoShop like most everyone, and still hold onto my Corel PhotoImpactX3 for graphics play, I figure these notes can be interpreted in whatever digital programme you might use. Well I hope so at least. There will be similarly named tools for the same purpose.
#1 This example, I've used a free texture (linked at the bottom of this post).
This will need to be converted to object. I do that by right-click/ALL/CONVERT TO OBJECT and sliding it onto a new image/page to work with.
#2 BURN tool used randomly along some edges.
#3 Go ahead with the OBJECT PAINT ERASER and erase.
A very subtle SHADOW had been added to the post header quotation which seems to lift it from the page a touch and add a slight dimension.
And back to the original, that had sparked Marilyn's comment ... the 'tag'

Thank you, Carole, for taking your time to explain this. Wow, you are one talented lady! Not sure if I know how to convert this using Photoshop Elements but I'm going to attempt something like it.

Thank you for sharing this tutorial and very creative image. It is lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo creative Carole! I wish I was able to get past my fear of the unknown and experiment with texture!! Maybe one day... soon. I need to purchase Photoshop Elements first I think
ReplyDeleteLove the quote, Carole! Nice job with the graphic!
ReplyDeleteI know this post is about the technique, but I sure like the saying too! It reminds me I don't have to be perfect at something BEFORE I try to do it.
