Computer Graphics Hikayat``: Tutorial 4

wahh..this is the first time i finished my tutorial in early time... here we go for tutorial 4

for the first step I were put some effect into ink vector layer which are drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, and bevel and emboss, gradient overlay

for this step, i already adjust the angel, color etc depends on what it looks suitable.

To have the same effect for both ink splat 1 and ink splat 2 layers, I just drag the ink vectors into style window. It will a save the effect.

Then I invisible all the layer except for the background. Go to Channel window and choose or select green because it has most amount of texture. Make a duplicate of the green channel.

Apply a Gaussian blur to this channel>Next press Ctrl L to get the levels properties to lighten up and darken up the texture.

select the whole area of the channel> Edit> Define Pattern.

Go back to RGB and deselect (Ctrl D). Now go to layer and make all the wording and ink splat layers to be visible. The texture that has been created just now is to apply on the wording and the ink splat. Let say the ink splat 2, double click on its layer effect and go to bevel and emboss. Choose texture which will allow us to apply texture in the bevel. Use the Alt click drag if you desire to make a copy of the ink splat. In this case, I did two copy of the ink splat.

Next, go to background layer to create a brand new shape layer used for painting. Therefore, select the rectangular tool (make sure it is a shape layer) and click drag to create a shadow to cover the entire canvas background.

after all the canvas are covered, i fill the entire layer with the layer style that i have save before. to do that, I create a layer mask for the shape layer as you can see in the layer properties. The second white box is the layer mask, then click Ctrl backspace which will make the mask layer to appear in black.
