Ratsorizzo Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Original thread title: Hi, new and already a question. How about that? Hi all. I had a question about finding a tutorial on creating an avatar that has the lighting effect and border that..*gulp* Windows 7 uses in the start menu. I just kinda like it.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 You mean the one that surrounds your User picture? BTW: Liked your thread title, but forum rules require the title be descriptive - so I edited it for you.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Quick attempt - plugins in bold: 1. White background on default canvas. 2. Add new layer 3. Rounded rectangle (outline mode) in black @ 1 pixel thickness. 4. Object Align to center (both horizontal and vertical) 5. Duplicate layer. 6. Top rectangle layer = Distort > Magnifier @25, 100, 100 7. Lower rectangle layer = rotate zoom (ctrl + shift+z) @ 1.06 zoom 8. Merge top two layers. 9. Magic wand the border edge 10. Primary White, Secondary #5E9EBE. 11. Drag linear gradient from top left to bottom right. 12 with selection still active, Bevel Selection @ 5 White & 165, 198, 255 13. Deselect & fill center with white. 14 Drop shadow @ 3, 3, 0, 5 and color of 136,136,136 Result: I like 13.5: repeat Magnifier with same settings!
