| Lets go ahead and Create an image of
a Christmas tree. |
| |
| 1.) Press D,
then X on the keyboard to set the Background Color
to Black. Create a New file. Go to File > New.
Make it 500 X 500 pixels on at 300 dpi on Background Color. |
| |
| 2.) Click the Background
Color swatch to launch the Color-Picker. Enter
#00FF00 at the Bottom input box, then click OK to apply. Click the
Foreground Color swatch and change it's Color to #CC00FF. |
| |
|
| |
3.) Select the Polygonal
Lasso tool  .
Go to the work area and Click and Drag to Create a diagonal line.
Continue to Click and Drag until you reach the beginning point,
then click to Create a triangle Selection. |
| |
|
| |
4.) Select the Brush
tool  .
Right-Click on the work area to Open the Brush-Picker.
Click the blue arrow 
(Top Right corner) and a pop-out menu will appear. Select SD-Stars.
A dialog box will appear, just click OK and the correct library
will load. Select the Star 35 brush,
then click Enter on the keyboard to close. |
| |
|
| |
| Next, click the Brushes
tab (located Top Right of program) to Open the perimeters panel.
Click the Scattering bar and check the
Both Axes box. Now, adjust Scatter to 185%. Click
the Color Dynamics bar and adjust the
Hue Jitter slider to 100%. Click and Drag across
Selection to Fill, then use Ctrl+D to Deselect
Selection when finished. (The brush will only paint Inside the Selection
while it is active.) |
| |
|
| |
| 5.) With the Selection
now OFF, we can paint the Outer edges of the image. Click and Drag
in an arc to Fill the Bottom of the tree, then add a little Fill
along the sides to add still more dimension and pizzazz. (If you
make a mistake painting, press Ctrl+Z to undo last
Step.) |
| |
|
| |
| 6.) Let's add a Star
at the top of our tree. To do this, we'll run a Filter to add a
New dazzling Effect! Go to Filter > Render
> Lens Flare. Select the 35
mm lens, then click Inside the Display window to place location
at the Top of the tree. Adjust the Brightness slider to 80%, then
Click OK to apply. |
| |
|
| |
| Image is now completed. Here is the
finished results. (You could run another Filter at this point to
Sharpen the image a bit. Just go to Filter >
Sharpen > Sharpen Edges, however,
I decided to leave it a bit soft.) |
| |
|
| |
| Here's yet another example. I set the
Foreground Color to #009900, then changed the Brush perimeters to
only Saturation and Brightness Jitter at 100% and
Created the same way. |
