Click here to view or download it @n d described the technique of creating original images in the topic Shaped gradient - my first plugin. Required plugin: Shaped Gradient by @n d Additional plugins: Cell Texture by @davidf Radial Prism by @Xhin I used 600x450 px canvas in all variations. Variant 1 Create a New () Image. With the Paintbrush () Tool of size 50, apply a few dots to the canvas. Select dots using the Magic Wand () Tool in Global () Flood Mode. Apply the Shaped Gradient effect (Effects -> Selection -> Shaped Gradient) with the settings below and we will get this result: Invert the selection (Ctrl+I), repeat (Ctrl+F) the Shaped Gradient effect, deselect (Ctrl+D) and we get the final result. Variant 2 Create a New () Image. Use the default colors () and set the transparency of the Secondary color to 128. Apply the Clouds () effect (Effects -> Render -> Clouds), Scale - 125, Roughness - 0.35: Select part of the clouds using the Magic Wand Tool in Global Flood Mode. Apply the Shaped Gradient effect with the settings below Invert the selection (Ctrl+I), repeat (Ctrl+F) the Shaped Gradient effect, deselect (Ctrl+D) and we get the next final result. Variant 3 Create a New () Image. Apply the Cell Texture effect (Effects -> Render -> Cell Texture) with the settings below Select the cells (item 1 in the image below) using the Magic Wand Tool in Global Flood Mode and move the cursor (item 2) to create space between cells. Apply the Shaped Gradient effect with the settings below Invert the selection (Ctrl+I), repeat (Ctrl+F) the Shaped Gradient effect, deselect (Ctrl+D) and we get another final result. Variant 4 Create a New () Image. Apply the Add Noise () effect (Effects -> Noise -> Add Noise), Intensity - 100, Color Saturation - 0, Coverage - 100. Then use the Pixelate () effect (Effects -> Distort -> Pixelate) with Cell Size 60. Apply the Brightness / Contrast () adjustment (Adjustments -> Brightness / Contrast), Brightness: -100, Contrast: 0. With the Magic Wand Tool in Global Flood Mode, select the black areas of the image. Apply the Shaped Gradient effect with the settings below Invert the selection (Ctrl+I), repeat (Ctrl+F) the Shaped Gradient effect, deselect (Ctrl+D). Another interesting result. Variant 5 Create a New () Image. With the Paintbrush Tool of different sizes, apply a few dots to the canvas. Select the white areas of the image with the Magic Wand Tool and cut (Ctrl+X) them out. Apply the Frosted Glass () effect (Effects -> Distort -> Frosted Glass) with the settings below Then with the Magic Wand Tool in Global Flood Mode, select the black dots. Apply the Shaped Gradient effect with the settings below Invert the selection (Ctrl+I), repeat (Ctrl+F) the Shaped Gradient effect, deselect (Ctrl+D), and we got another interesting result. Now let's color this variant. Between first applying the Shaped Gradient effect and inverting the selection (Ctrl+I), apply the Curves () adjustment (Adjustments -> Curves) with the settings below and then the Radial Prism (Effects -> Color -> Radial Prism) effect with the settings below Invert the selection (Ctrl+I), apply the Shaped Gradient effect with the same settings. Again apply the Curves with the same parameters and then apply the Radial Prism effect with the settings below. Deselect (Ctrl+D) and enjoy the result. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger the Dodger Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hi ReMake Many thanks for your fantastic tutorial, I thoroughly enjoyed playing around with the images. For me this is a superb way to learn new things, I had not heard of the plug-ins (Shape Gradient). This will keep me amused for hours. Thanks again Roger the Dodger 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynxster4 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 WOW! @ReMake! What a great tutorial! I could sit and play with this for hours! How do you think up such things?? 😆 Here are some of my better attempts: Two observations: Too bad @n d never implemented an anti-alias function like he noted on his to-do list. If you have an intricate pattern, the plugin really lags...like at least a minute before it finishes. 4 1 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMake Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Thanks to all for sharing your outcomes and for the nice comments and reps! 20 hours ago, lynxster4 said: How do you think up such things?? 😆 There are many more ways to use the Shaped Gradient plugin. Take a look at using of the shapes in the first image in @Pixey's post, or the first image in your post, or at the @welshblue 's outcomes (sorry for the unfortunate (poor) construction of this phrase in English). @welshblue, very amazing outcomes! I'm always surprised at your ability to look deep into some things! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynxster4 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 @welshblue I used your rose template and followed some of your directions. I used edge expander, AA's and blur blend to finish. I followed directions exactly, also, and the rose did not turn out like yours. Always fun experimenting! This tutorial leaves so many possibilities to explore! 😁 Nice outcome @HyReZ! 3 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
