Real World Example: Beveled Frame
Having done reasonably well with the
Rainbow Logo, let's attempt to duplicate
Creating A Custom Beveled Frame from the
Photoshop
tutorial.
Preparation and Outer Frame
Open an image. Immediately create a new layer by dragging
the Background Layer button down to the Create New Layer
button in the Layers Control box. Turn the original background
off by pressing the Layer Visibility Toggle. Name the new layer
Center Picture. Toggle the Center Picture Layer off.
Create yet another layer by dragging the Center Picture layer
button to the Create New Layer button. Name this layer
Outer Frame by right clicking on the Layer button and selecting
Properties.
Repeat the process one more time, naming this layer Inner
Frame. Toggle the Inner Frame Layer off.
Working on the Outer Frame layer,
double click on the Rectangular Selection Tool button on the Tool
Palette to
open the Select Area dialog box. Enter the coordinates
- Left 8
- Top 8
- Right 244
- Bottom 190
Check the Custom size and position radio button and click ok.
Press the delete key on your keyboard to remove the center of
the image. (You may see the Transparency Checker Board
rather than the white center in the example). Turn the Outer
Frame Layer off.
In the Layers Control dialog box press the Inner Frame layer
button. Double click on the Lasso Tool button on the Tool Palette to
open the Select Area dialog box. Enter the coordinates
- Left 16
- Top 16
- Right 236
- Bottom 182
Check the Custom size and position radio button and click ok.
Press the delete key on your keyboard to remove the center of
the image. Toggle the Inner Frame layer off with the Layer
Visibility Toggle button in the Layers Control Dialog box.
Activate the Outer Frame layer in the Layers Control dialog box.
Press Ctrl + D on your keyboard to clear any selections. Click in
the center of the image with the Magic Wand and Invert your
selection by pressing Ctrl + Shift + I on your keyboard.
Select Colors | Adjust | Brightness/Contrast from the
menu bar. In the Brightness/Contrast dialog box set the
Brightness to 0 (zero) and the Contrast to -50 (minus 50).
On the menu bar select Image | Noise | Add... In the
Add Noise dialog box type 25% Noise, select Uniform and press
OK.
Select Image | Blur | Gaussian Blur..., setting the
Radius to 0.60.
To add a little color back into the frame select
Colors | Colorize... setting the Hue to 149 and the
Saturation to 202.
One more step to finish off the Outer Frame. Select
Colors | Adjust | Brightness/Contrast on the menu
bar. Adjust the Brightness to 10% and the Contrast to 0%.
Drag the Outer Frame above the Inner Frame in the Layers Control
dialog box.
