<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I was playing with PSP7 and came up with some neat effects using all
exisisting filters (no special plugins). I used some of the methods that Pinoy7 http://www.dumlao.cc/default.htm used in his tutorials such as
the tube one and the motion blur.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Grabbed a pic of my hand with my digi camera and just used a flare
tube....ok i cheated....LOL you can get the flare tube here -HFlare-</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>The name plate was done by drawing some colors and adding motion blur to
it...then made a cutout, added text with a sunburst gradient to it and then put
a drop shadow on the text.....finished it with using rectangle tool and grabbing
the ends of the name plate and used a fading background gradient .</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>The Laptop took me a bit of time....was tough to get the right
perspective.</DIV>
<DIV>Image started straight on and then rotated when finished.</DIV>
<DIV>I used the round rectangle tool, flood filled with my colors then used the
geometric tool/perspective to get the depth right....used the same tool for the
screen and then gradient filled then used same geometric setting....keyboard was
texture effects/weave and the the geo setting again.... i also added the word
stationery just below the screen but is hardly visible : )</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Oh yeah....copy and pasted some icons on the screen....after resizing of
course : )</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Finished it off with Illumination effects/ lights to place some cross
lighting to it...there is probably a few more steps I have missed here but i
think you get the idea....hope i wasn't to long winded...thought maybe someone
would like to know how the effects were achieved. Fun way to personalize your
mail , I think.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Cheers, </DIV>
<DIV>John : )</DIV>
