You'll need Eye Candy 3
for this tutorial.
I have a few tutorials on
rugs written for PhotoImpact 6 which will also work for version 7. Instead of
writing yet another one, I am writing this tutorial on how to get a sculptured rug effect.
Open a new canvas 300 x
300. Bucket fill the canvas with any color. For this tutorial I am using color
#7B5D3A.
Go to Effect, Noise,
Add Noise 10, Uniform.
Go to Eye Candy, Swirl and
in the drop down choose Little Crystals with the following settings: Whirlpool
Spacing 15, Smear Length 20, Twist 0, Streak Detail 34. Apply this.
Hit Control C (copy) and
Control V (paste) so a duplicate appears on top of the original one. While this is
active, go to Effect, Special, Monochrome (PI 8 users go to
Effect/Artistic/Monochrome). Go back to Effect, Natural Painting, Colored Pen (PI8
users go to Effect/Artistic/Colored Pen) and set the level at 100.
Right click and go to
properties while the duplicate is still active. Click on the drop down menu in Merge
and choose Hard Light. Right click and Merge All.
Go to Effect, Camera Lens,
Motion Blur (PI 8 users go to Effect/Blur/Motion Blur) and click on the last box to
the right in the top row.
Go to Effect, Creative,
Transform (PI 8 users go to Effect/Distort/Creative Transform). Choose Diffuse
and leave it at the default settings (PI 8 users set the Level to 15). In the box
displaying your tile, place your mouse over the tile and use the brush to
"paint" in circular motions until you get the effect you want. You can
play with the settings. Click Ok when done. You will have to use the selection
tool to crop off the sides that aren't blended.
Make your rugs in colors
to your liking.
I hope you've enjoyed this
tutorial.
