Experimenting all weekend with plugins and came up with this. These are photo manips. The original image was on my computer from long ago... I'm sure it was an old wallpaper. Original: Here, I've glassified(?) it: (I'm making up my own words....mmm) And here I foil-lized(?) it: (hahaha) Please let me know what you think! I really like the glass one...very pleased how it turned out!

Thanks for your treasury of space tuts Drydareelin. Now I need to work on my stars and dust for a bit and knock up a few more textures.

Loving the style you've got going with spacescapes. Keep it and up refine it!

I wrote a (beta) plugin called Perspective Transformation that does something somewhat similar. I'm not sure it does what you want, though, because there's no perspective specification, as in your example. I really don't understand how to make sense of the control you show. It has a quadrilateral, which seems to represent a perspective-transformed rectangle, and it's got a control to specify the amount of perspective. But the perspective transformation for a given rectangle to a given quadrilateral is unique: changing the amount of perspective changes the quadrilateral. I don't doubt what they're doing makes sense; I just don't know what they're doing.

Yes, try this plugin: For info on how to install plugins see http://boltbait.com/pdn/InstallingEffects.php

I think I've just found the mother load of space tuts. Woohoo! Tuvm Drydareelin.

Great image Seerose! The colors are fantastic!

I'm sorry Si Borg it is far too involved to do a tutorial. I can tell you the radio is done in gray scale and the wood grain is added using BoltBait's great "fill from clipboard" plug-in. It's applied using the multiply blend mode which leaves it real dark so I make a light color covering the whole image and use the overlay blend mode to lighten it up. Everything is done by eye.

Verified. Rounded Rectangle looks good at all corner sizes I checked.
