Faded




This tutorial was written by Mizteeque on 18th March 2018 and assumes a working knowledge of psp
Written using psp9 but other versions should work just as well
Any similarity to other works is unintentional and purely coincidental
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Supplies Needed:

Tube of choice - I am using the beautiful artwork of Julsy
which can be purchased from Pics for Design
Filter - Muras Meister - copies
Font(s) of choice


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

open blank canvas 700 x 300

c/p tube
effects, muras meister, copies

rename this layer twirl

custom selection

change foreground color to white
floodfill with fading foreground gradient
angle 270, repeats 0
lower opacity to 60

new raster layer
floodfill with white
contract 1, delete
deselect

selection tool, rectangle, feather 10
draw a rectangle from the right across about 1/3
of the white border, delete
(the idea is to have a fading frame round your faded rectangle)

hide the bottom 4 layers
merge visible
rename this layer faded rectangle
unhide the bottom 4 layers

duplicate your faded rectangle twice
mirror one of them, 
image effects, offset h-500, v-30

on the 2nd duplicate
offset h-10, v10

again hide the bottom 4 layers
merge visible
duplicate

rotate left 90
offset h300, v-60
lower opacity to 65

custom selection
top & left 0, right & bottom 30
new raster layer
floodfill white
contract by 10
floodfill with the same dark color as the bars we made earlier
add your favourite inner bevel
deselect

duplicate
offset, h36, v0
duplicate
repeat offset

merge all 3 squares together
rotate left 90
reposition between the two sets of faded rectangles

now using your selection tool, rectangle, feather 0
select round the tiny colored square, copy
deselect

paste as new layer
resize by 70
position in the top left corner of the vertical
faded rectangles
duplicate twice and move them into a vertical line
a few pixels apart from each other 
merge them together
duplicate
rotate left 90
reposition to the same place on the horizontal faded rectangles

c/p your tube, resize if necessary
position on the right edge of your canvas
duplicate
gaussian blur 9
change blend mode to overlay
merge down
duplicate, mirror

make your vertical faded rectangles layer active
select all, float, defloat, invert
on your mirrored tube, position to your liking
within the selection then hit delete a couple of times
deselect, lower opacity of tube to around 35

Using a small or pixel font, and a contrasting color
type out your name or favourite saying or quote across the top bar

add some nice faded brushes to your twirl layer if you wish

add your name, copyright and license information
merge all flatten
save as jpg
