-1-
- save these selections in your selecionsfile
- open a new image 350 x 250 transparant
Keep this sizes otherwise it comes out wrong!!!!
- choose a tube but put it aside for now
- fill your image with a nice linear gradient; I choose 2 colors uit off the tube
-2-
- new rasterlayer
- change foregrond- and backgroundcolor (1) your gradient changes also (2)
- selection/ load selectio/ selection from disk: Tioli- Sophie02
- fill this selection with your gradient (use your floodfill:matchmode at none
This is what I have right now:
- select none
-3-
- duplicate your selectionlayer
- effects/ distortioneffects/ twirl: 300
- opacity from this layer at 50%
- merge visible layers
- resize canvassize to 400 x 300 pixels
- select all/ floating selection/ defloating selection/ invert selection
- cutout: 5 + 5 and 40 + 5 black
-4-
- new rasterlayer; arrange to bottom and fill with the gradient
- put your tube grand at a new rasterlayer at the edge and put the opacite from the layer at 20
- put your tube small at a new rasterlayer; opacity at 100
- give the small tube a dropshadow from 5 + 5 and 50 + 5 black
- add a symmetric border from 5 in the dark color of your gradient
and ready is your tag again
-5-
Now we go further for the animation
- add a border symmetric from 35 pixels in the light color off your gradient
- select all; contract selection with 3 pixels; invert and fill with your dark color
- duplicate yuor layer twice and now you have 3 layers
- close the upper two and activate the layer at the bottom
- selection/ load selection/ selection from disk: Tioli- Sophie03
- fill with your dark color
NB. gradient or even your pasted picture in selection doing well also
- close your layer; open and activate the middle layer
- selection/ load selection/ selection from disk: Tioli- Sophie04
- fill with your dark color
- close your layer and open and activate the layer at the top
- selection/ load selection/ selection from disk: Tioli- Sophie05
- fill with your dark color
