Woodsy

Wow, I won against all those great entrees! I sure didn't expect that. 😋 Nice entrees you guys! And thanks @lynxster4 for hosting.

@Pixey is that a clipart picture of one of our Admins.? 😋 (I'm kidding of course!)

It's good to have you back! You're supposed to be resting though. 😊

And after you flatten it take the Magic Wand and select an empty part of the picture, go to Edit and select invert selection. And invert it and choose the Outline Object plugin with probably a 2 pixel width. Or you might prefer to do something else. It's just something to jazz it up that you might like. The Woven Photo plugin is a good idea also.

Hi @Sonoroho, excuse me for eavesdropping. Your attempt at what Boltbait told you is good just try taking your first picture and put it on top of your second picture then flatten it and see what you have. Or try the other way around.

If this is what you want I used Outline Object by Boltbait in white. And then a -100 in yellow in Color Balance also by Boltbait. It may not be what you want but it's easy.

To start with you'd have to cut out the subject and put him on his own layer. Put a layer of black under him. You'll need a plugin called Outline Object by Boltbait and it looks like the outline you'll need is white. But after you do all that try adjusting the Hue/Saturation under Adjustments. The lack of surrounding colors may alter the tint color.

Welcome @Y_Kazz! It'd help lots if you could post the image you want to tint. It could be any number of colors.

Pixey wanted me to let you all know she's been unavoidably side tracked. She will take care of the poll when she returns. It might be a day or two.

I don't know if it would help but if you hit the little arrow where it says fill it gives you a number of different textures that you can use with the paintbrush and a few other tools.

Could it be the built-in Distort>Tile Reflection ?

I love your artwork @dan1966! Very well done! I can't say much about the subject matter. But that's only my opinion, for what it's worth.

I like to see that! That's how I started out. @BlearyIrish show us some of your work.

That's a good outcome @jay-f! It's good to see people doing the old tutorials!

That's why I pointed out the swirls on the rings. That's her own twist! 😋

@Seerose that's the most dainty looking barrel I've ever seen, but I like it! Especially the swirls on the rings.

I love your latest images @Seerose! They're all my favorite!

I can't help it, but thank you @Sakana Oji! And nice barrel! And thanks to everybody for all the reps! I almost have a 1 to 1 average!

That's such a pretty bottle @Pixey! The texture and coloring, looks so realistic!

I see you played with angles a little bit. A right smart barrel @welshblue! Believe it or not I haven't tried distorting it like that yet.

Thanks @welshblue, I'll hold you to that! Well blow me down @Pixey! Great result on that!

I'm fond of this plugin also.

Thanks @lynxster4 and @Seerose, so glad you tried the tut with good results. I didn't think it would go over. Thanks @HyReZ, I appreciate that. Thank you EER! I don't know why I couldn't figure out how to do that. I guess my lack of computer skills is showing.

This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it Plugins Required: Shape3D Drop Shadow For this we’ll be using these two images: Start with a blank canvas 1200x1200 px. With the Wood image right in the center. Use Shape 3D on it with these settings to get the basic wooden shape. Next import the Metal Rings and put them in the center also. Duplicate the Metal Rings layer and put one layer on top of the Wood for the front side and one layer below the Wood for the back side. Next use Shape 3D on the top layer of Metal Rings to get the front side. TIP! The settings are the same as previously used except for the Horizontal Radius. After that use Shape 3D on the bottom layer of Metal Rings to get the back side. It’s not much but it looks odd without the back side. TIP! The settings are the same as previously used except for the Object Rotation on Axis 1 & 2. After that take the Rectangle Select tool and select the bottom half of the top layer Metal Rings. Use Drop Shadow on it with these settings. Next put the Rectangle Select tool around the top half of the same layer. Now use Drop Shadow again at these settings. Now deselect the image and flatten and you’re finished! Not many people will use this tut and there’s not much you can use it for but I thought it was kind of interesting. I discovered it by accident. Thanks to EER for some much needed advice! Wooden Barrel Shape3D settings.zip
