ANTIQUE COPPERY PHOTO 

Hooty-Tut© by Doyle Allen  6/29/03

Approved by the HootyTutTestersGroup!

See their results at the bottom of this tut!

____________________________________ 

Needed: PSP 8 & a black and white graphic.

Before:

 

Goal:

 

1. Open your graphic.

I like to use black and white tube on a black or

gray background whichever is not the same

color that is in my graphic which I flood on another layer and then merge the layers together which gives good results such as you see in this tut too!

 

2. Ctrl + C  (copy image)

 

3. Open a new transparent image 460x400 or

320x400 if your graphic is taller than it is wide,

400x400 if it is square.

 

4. Layers/New Raster Layer

 

5. Ctrl + A  (selects all)

 

6. Ctrl + Shift + L  (paste into selection)

 

7. Ctrl + D  (de-select)

 

8. Image/GreyScale

 

9. Ctrl + Shift + 0 (zero)  (Colors 24 bit)

 

10. Effects/Artistic Effects/Chrome

Settings: These are my settings and I saved

them as Silver

Flaws = 3,(you may want to play with these

settings depending on the graphic you use)

 Brightness = 55, Use Original color = Checked,

Color = White

 

11. Effects/Artistic Effects/Sepia Toning:

Settings: Age = 30-75. Adjust to the setting that

looks best to you.  I used 30 for mine.

 

12. Effects/plugins/FM Tile Tools/ Saturation Emboss

Settings = X = -1, Y = -1, Lightness = .50

Intensity = .25 ,  Edge Wrap = Checked!

 

13. Color Palette: Change your background

color to SOLID and to the off white color

HTML #F5F5EF

 

14. Image/Add Border = 20

 

15. Magic Wand: Left click on the new border

 

16. Effects/Distortion Effects/Ripple

Settings: Horizontal & Vertical both at 20,

Amplitude = 3, Wavelength = 10

 

17. Effects/Texture Effects/Texture: LinenPOP

If you don't have this preset just wing it with something that might resemble old old paper or

just skip this step.

 

18. Effects/3D effects/Drop Shadow

Settings: Vert & Horiz both at +5

Opacity = 50, Blur = 4, Color = Black

 

19. Ctrl + D  (de-select)

 

20. Effects/Image Effects/Page Curl

Settings: Color = White, Radius = 40

Corner = Bottom Right, Width= 81, Height = 16

Edge mode= Color Checked (Dark grey)

 

Note: Where the graphic curls and leaves the

grey background exposed should not be fixed.

Think of it as the photo separating from the

backing and the backing is what is exposed!

***************************************

Well that's it kiddies! LOL

From here you can use it as a header or resize

and use it on a side border stationary!

Don't forget to watermark it as your own!

Save as a JPEG!
