REBEL'S BASIC
GLITTER NAME TUTORIAL #1:
Your Name:
This is the very basic version,
no drop shadow.
The first thing you have to realize about these glitter sigs
is that they are done in layers. The simplest
ones,
like the one we will do today, are 3 layers.
This one will only be a name.
Here is a site with an excellent assortment of glitters to choose from.
Each of these "tiles" is an animation
comprised
of 3 or more layers.
R&C GIF MANOR
There are others that we can add later but I find that
too much information gets in the way at the beginning.
I
just want you to visit this one site
and have a look at them and save the ones that you like the most.
Create a folder for them in your files and label it
GLITTERTILES (one word).
You will all be using the same files
so so don't
worry about deciding on which ones you are
going to use for this tutorial.
Please save:
green-06.gif
as it is the glitter you will be using for your name.
Okay, ready?
STEP 1
Open Psp and create a new image on a white background,
2 inches high by 5 inches wide
STEP 2
add a new layer
select black and a good simple , thick font for your name ,
large size, 48 and write your name
crop around your name so that you have a nice looking plain sig
STEP 3
press shift-D twice to create 2 duplicates for a
total of 3 copies
NOW....you have saved the green glitter tile
OPEN ANIMATION SHOP
and open green-06.gif and you will see that it will open in 3 layers,
called F1, F1, and F3, for frames 1, 2 and 3
Save them as
1green06.iff, 2green06.iff, and 3green06.iff
BACK TO PSP
Tile your 3 names so that you can see them.
You are going to use your fill tool to put the glitter
from each of those frames into a frame in psp.
It's starting to make sense now, isn't it?
Open the glitter files so that you now have your
3 names and 3 glitters open in the psp program
(You can minimize the glitter tiles)
Open your control palette and select pattern
Look at your 3 images.
Press File and Save as Tut 1,2,3
Press Options
Press the down arrow and you will see a window
It will show all the images that are open in your psp program
If you named your 3 sigs TUT 1,2 and 3,
then it's easy to match them up with tile 1,2,and 3
Ready?
Maximize them when you're filling them because it's so much easier.
Sometimes the pixels break things up
select the first tile pattern (1green06.iff)
then when you right click over the letters the bucket
will pour the glitter onto the letters :)
the the second name gets the second glitter tile
then the third name gets the third glitter tile :)
save your images
GO TO ANIMATION SHOP
set the speed to your preference...mine is set at 6,
I think maybe 7 or 8 could work too :)
let me know how it works :)
