Kemaru Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Good job on the new Glossies, they are very cute :3 If only they had faces...

LFC4EVER Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Loving the new glossies! I highly suggest you learn to alpha mask. You're glossies will be so much better with clean crisp edges.

HELEN Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 I don't have the motivation to learn alpha mask. And to tell you the truth, I don't really see what's really happening with alpha mask. Could you tell me? It's been bothering me for the longest time!!!

Kemaru Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 An alphamask. an alphamasked image, with a drop shadow. I'm guessing you can see what it does now? Happy New Year?

HELEN Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 I sort of understand. If you won't mind, can you PM me with some steps maybe in your OWN words? I think I kind of understand, butI just need some clarification.

Well, i'll try to show you. and here's a zoomed in example just incase the 100% zoom view isn't clear enough. Hope it showed you the beauty of alpha masking.

HELEN Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thank you so much!!! Gosh, I have to work on alpha masking. I just have to put myself together and find some time to work on it. I will hopefully try it out soon. I reread Crazy Dan Man's tutorial and I think I got the hang of it. Just have to practice it now.

LFC4EVER Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 No problem! Glad i could help, and once you get to grips with it, it'll seem quite simple. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆  .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemaru Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'm guessing you won't need my PM mini-advice-tutorial-thingy anymore. I'm still glad you got the hang of it.

LFC4EVER Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 One more thing HELEN, alpha masking doesn't involve only black and white, it can also involve a shade of greys too. Use a black to white gradient as a mask, on any image and see what happens. It should be self-explanatory. :wink: Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆  .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

worldnewser Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Lotsa smilies there DarkMie... Anyways, I like those glossy pinwheels. My only suggestion is to lower the main reflections/shine you have. They're a bit too harsh :wink: Quote  deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 @darkmie: All I did was make a circle with the ellipse tool filled with gradient of any colors. Then, on a separate layer, I added the white parts found on the top of my glossy. I worked back and forth until I achieved the desired image. The most important things are to keep all new additions to the image on separate layers. Here's an image that saved for you. Maybe you'll understand it better. Hidden Content: @Worldnewser: Let's just say that it's a very glossy table and the reflection was seen very well.
