Recommended Posts

That is great!! :)

Post the base image for everyone to see plz :)

Good job!

Would love to see more!!

As for my method coming out too light, there are many things you can do,

Adjust Brightness/Contrast

and/or Dup Layer Flip layer and Adjust blending modes (try different ones)

and/or Colorize It with darker color (Darker Colot tint/ Color filter)

Hope this helps.

Keep trying :)

So Ash, when you say post the base image, what do you mean exactly? Like what I started with before I added all the effects & shadows?

If so, this is approximately what I started with.

If that's not what you wanted, let me know. :)

I'm working on one trying the erode/dilate effect. Will keep you posted. Ha ha.

Okay, this one I used erode/dilate, but did a few other steps first.

1. Black canvas.

2. Add noise, intensity 100, color 0.

3. Oil Painting, all setting at lowest possible. (like making a starfield kind of).

4. Then dilate, highest intensity, triangle.

5. Then color tint.

I came up with this.

Here's the finished product. I'm not entirely happy with the highlights. Oh well, I was in a hurry.

That is what I meant :) Thanks!

You 2nd try was quite nice too. From your post it seems like you didn't do my step3, give it a try :)

And make the "table" of the stone (top part) smaller, like in your 1st try :)

I was going to give this tut a go but the second step talks about Erode/Dilate

Now I've searched high and low looking for info regarding this Erode/Dilate step and couldn't find anything.

I've also checked all of the plugins new & old and come up empty :?:

So my question is where would I find this Erode/Dilate or does it no longer exist or has it been replace by something?

Thanks as I sure would like to explore this tut :D

This is awesome ! Great tut. I did this for the first gem tut, so I think I can move up to this V2 tut. I tried several kinds of gem stones and I wanted to add an opal. So I looked up some photos and figured out how to make one.

Thanks Ash, this is really great.

OK ! I got through it and it has a completely different look to it. I think each has it's own unique uses. This is a great effect and a great tut that everyone should learn. Very cool Ash, very cool. Thanks !
