SETTING USED IN THIS TUTORIAL
Drop Shadow: Vertical Offset 2, Horizontal Offset 2, Opacity 80, Blur 5, Color Black Step 1 Open up your tube graphic, flowerbox mask, and a new transparent image 550 width by 550 height. At the Material Palette, select a deep (but not 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 flowerbox mask with source luminance and invert mask data checked. Click ok. Step 3 Go to Layers/Merge/Merge group. Step 4 Go to Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow and use the settings from above. Step 5 Go to Layers/Merge/Merge All (flatten). Step 6 Make your tube graphic active and go to Edit/Copy. Make your tag image active and go to Edit/Paste as New Layer. If the tube graphic is too large, go to Image/Resize using the percent option, bicubic and resize all layers NOT checked. Step 7 Repeat Step 4, applying the drop shadow. Step 8 Open up the Rainbow Coffi butterfly graphics. Left click the selection tool, set to rectangle, and draw a rectangle around the selection. Do not worry if another image becomes part of your selection. Go to Edit/Copy. Make the tag image active and go to Edit/Paste as New Layer. Left click the selection tool and draw a rectangle around the areas of the graphic you do not want to keep (that which attached itself to your butterfly). Click the delete key and go to Selections/Select None. If you need to delete more, just draw another selection around that portion, click the delete key and go to Selections/Select None. Left click the mover tool and move the image to position it on your tag. Step 9 Repeat Step 4. Step 10 Open the Rainbow Coffi doves. Repeat Step 8 to select the doves you want to use. If you could not get a clean copy of the doves but have other graphics attached, again select the portions you do not want, click the delete key and go to Selections/Select None. Step 11 Go to Layers/Merge/Merge All (flatten) and add your copyright information. Save this file as a jpg without the text. This will be your template. Step 12 Go to Layers/New Raster Layer, add your text and the same drop shadow as above. Go to Layers/Merge/Merge All (flatten) and save your tag with another name so that your template will still be intact. We hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Purrs, Nikki, Nichie and Sue
