SETTING USED IN THIS TUTORIAL
Drop Shadow Settings Vertical Offset 2, Horizontal Offset 2, Opacity 80 Blur 5, Color Black CREATING THE BASIC TAG Step 1 Open up your tube graphic, the doodlemask3m and a new transparent image 600 width by 550 height. At the Material Palette, select a deep (but not too dark), solid color for your basic tag. Flood fill the transparency with that color. Step 2 Go to Layers/New Mask Layer/From Image. At the source window's drop down menu, locate the doodle mask3 with source luminance and invert mask data checked. Click ok. Step 3 Go to Layers/Merge/Merge All (flatten). Step 4 Make your tube graphic active and go to Edit/Copy. Make the tag image active and go to Edit/Paste as New Layer. With the mover tool, move the tube graphic where you would like it on the tag. If the graphic is too large, go to Image/Resize using the percent option, bicubic and resize all layers NOT checked. Step 5 Go to Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and use the settings from above. Go to Layers/Merge/Merge Visible. Step 6 Add any additional elements to your tag for decoration. Step 7 Go to Image/Resize using the percent option at 90%, bicubic and resize all layers checked. Step 8 Go to Layers/New Raster Layer and add your copyright information and go to Layers/Merge/Merge All (flatten). Step 9 Left click the crop tool and draw a rectangle around the area you wish to keep, eliminating the extra white palette. Make sure to leave enough palette, though, for your text which you will be adding. Double left click inside the rectangle or left click the check mark in the crop ribbon. Step 10 Save this file as a jpg. Step 11 For each new tag you create, open up your file, go to Layers/New Raster Layer and add your text. Go to Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and use the settings from above. Go to Layers/Merge/Merge All (flatten) and save each tag with a different name. We hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
