What you need: Corel
PSP. Download a 30
day trial here.
Materials:Download
here.
Save the Dither
50%.bmp in your PSP texture folder.
Open all other images from the ZIP in PSP.
PSP 7 & 8 users can download thedisplacement layer here. Later in the tut I will tell you when you have to use it.
Open the font and minimize.
You'll see it in your text tool now.
Save often.
Let's get started. Good luck.....
Open a new image 400 X 400 > Transparent.
Foreground to MD-CallaPattern1.jpg from the
ZIP.
Background to MD-CallaPattern2.jpgpatroon from the ZIP.
Both patterns at scale 250 (see screenshot below).
Texture unchecked (=blue hand).
Fill your image with the foreground pattern (the light wood).
Layers > New raster layer.
Fill this layer with your right mouse button (the dark wood).
Open the MD-CallaMask.jpg from the ZIP.
Layers > New mask layer > From image.
Look for the MD-CallaMask.jpg and
apply.
Invert mask data checked.
Layers > Merge > Merge group.
Layers > New raster layer.
Move this layer beneath the layer with the four windows.
With your rectangle selection tool
(feather 0), select one of
the windows but take it a little bit larger (see screenshot below).
Select the middle layer (= blue - screen above).
Open the Calla1.psp and copy.
Go back to your tag.
You must be on the middle layer (= blue).
Edit > Paste > Paste into selection.
Now select the second window like you did before.
Open the Calla2.psp and copy.
Go back to your tag.
You are still on the middle layer.
Edit > Paste > Paste into selection.
Repeat these steps for Calla3.psp and Calla4.psp.
If all went well you have this now:
For the end result it is important to use this
order of the Calla
images. The light and the dark diagonally towards each other.
Lock your bottom layer and make sure
you are on one of the other layers (= blue).
Layers > Merge > Merge visible layers.
Effects > 3D-effects > Inner bevel
> White.
Unlock the bottom layer.
Select the top layer (= blue).
Layers > Duplicate (PSP 9 & 10 only).
PSP 7 users have to paste the displacement layer
now (as a new layer) they downloaded at
the top.
In your Layer Palette > Move to the middle position.
All users, lock the middle layer.
Make sure you are on the top layer (=blue).
Image > Change size to 75%.
All layers unchecked (blue hand).
Move
this layer all the way to the top left corner.
Effects > Reflection effects > Rotating
mirror.
Apply.
Image > Change size to 95%.
All layers unchecked again.
Adjust > Sharpness > Sharpen.
Unlock the middle layer and select it.
(PSP 7 users skip the next step).
You already have the Displacement layer.
Effects > Distortion effects > Displacements map.
Look for the Dither 50%.bmp that you saved in the
texture folder.
PSP 9 & 10 only > Apply.
Move
the top layer until it is nice in the middle.
If you are satisfied:
Layers > Merge > Merge all layers
flatten.
With your rectangle selection tool
,
select the middle
part between the windows. See screenshot below.
Layers > New raster layer.
Fill the selection with your foreground fill (the
light wood).
Selection > Modify > Contract with 5 pixels.
Click delete.
Selections > Select all.

Repeat the inner bevel as
you used the
last time.

Repeat the drop shadow but this
time Horiz. and Vert. to - 2.
Layers > Merge > Merge
flatten.
Foreground locked and
background to MD-CallaPattern1.jpg.
Click
and look for the opened Classic font. That's in the ZIP.
Vector > Size 36 >
Stroke 0.0 >
B for Bold > Anti-alias 'Sharp' or checked.
If you use more lines than one it is important to set alignment to
center.
Type a text or your name.
You have to see for yourself what the best spot is for your text.
You can see below this tutorial what I did in my different examples.
If you have a long name you will have to adjust the text size.
In your Layer Palette
> Convert to raster.
Repeat the drop shadow like before at 2.
Move the text in place (see examples) and merge
flatten.
Your Calla Tag is done.
I hope you liked
this tutorial and learned some new things.
Thank you for using my tutorials.
For the Tag below I have added
the cross to the ZIP.
I also put two squares in the corners to add some text.
If you want to do the same,don't forget
to apply the inner bevel.
