BLE Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hello Does anybody know how to create glitter tiles? Or know what effects/distorts I should use? I've seen and done the glittery text and pinup tutorials. (I'm sorry if i overlooked something, I did search first... I saw mention of a glitter plugin but wasn't able to locate it) I'm not looking for something animated and just adding noise doesn't seem to get the look I'm going for. I want something shinier/more metallic... Here's and example of what I'd like to be able to do http://candystreats.blogspot.com/2008/0 ... tiles.html If you download them you'll get an idea of how shiny I'd like them... I'd like to know how to create the silver metallic tile. Thanks in advance for the help BLE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLE Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi Oma! That looks great Can you tell me what setting you used? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 colors primary red secondary blue. not wishy washy ones some real vibrant hues. effects>render>clouds scale 250 roughness 1.00 normal same layer effects>stylize>outline at default don't panic it will change color adjustments > conditional hue/saturation change the fade to vertical and under the color wheel where it says hue range that slider on the right needs to be moved all the way to the left. adjustments > auto level adjustments black and white next its curves + now this is the one you have to play around with because the clouds in the first step are never the same. I did an xml file but like I said this may need slight adjustments for your glitter. Hidden Content: <?xml version="1.0" ?> - L A A true - - - 0 0 - 53 77 - 102 136 - 125 141 - 153 205 - 193 252 - 255 255 REMEMBER my glitter is not tileable.

oma Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 you are welcome personally I didn't find that all that shiny. but its not too off from the sample you have given. :wink: it actually looks better in colors. other than silver/gray.

BLE Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 It's a work in progress .. I can't seem to get it shiny/realistic enough.. I've also tried using dents because it kinda' starts out shiny and then doing a layer of crystallize, as an overlay, but that kinda dulls the shine.. I think psp users have a glitter fill.. and i've been searching for a tutorial that could possibly be converted to PDN, but I haven't found one I like yet.. I'll keep working on it.. thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 you the same gal I worked on the cardboard tut with? send me thru PM what page layout you've got so far and what you are trying to get. if you have a sample page just PM me the link. I'm pretty sure that glitter she is using in those tiles is a built in function of the photoshop. ciao' OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
