CT Tutorial for Monti's Scraps - Out of This World

Out Of This World Tutorial

Thank you for taking the time to do my tutorial. I hope you enjoy it, and would love to see your results, and receive your feedback! 

This tutorial was written by Mellie on March 7, 2015 and is copyright to me, the way I word thing's and the images that I use. 

All other images are copyright to their respective owners, including tubes/art, font, scrapkits and templates and should not be used without purchasing or written permission, nor without reading their terms of use. 

This tutorial is for education purposes only and is in no way intended to be used as any other purpose. This tutorial was written with the tube and kit in mind that is being shown, therefore, you may have to adjust your setting's should you choose to use images not suggested here, in this tutorial. 

For this tutorial, you will need to know several things. Paint Shop Pro (I am using version X), and a good working knowledge of how to operate it, layer palettes and plug-in filters, masks, templates...etc. I will also assume that you add your desired drop shadows to each and every layer. You can click on the image to see it full sized.

For this tutorial, you will need the following items:

Paint Shop Pro, I am using version X

Out Of This World PTU Scrap Kit by Monti's Scraps

Font of choice, I am using Heavy Data

Forum Mask 16: MB and SW. She has some wonderful FB timeline masks as well that would also work wonderfully.

AAA Foto Frame plug in filter

Muras Copies filter.

Let's begin, shall we? 

Create a new, blank canvas in psp. It needs to be 851 wide pixels by 315 pixels high.

Flood fill with paper 8, at 120% size. Apply the mask INVERT checked, and merge group layers. Lower the opacity to something between 75-80%.

Close the original paper.

Apply the filter Foto Frame with the following settings: (you can see it full size by clicking the image)

Open element 18. Copy and paste onto your canvas, close the original.

Resize the element to 45% of it's original size. Using the tool, rotate go to "Image>Free Rotate>Right ticked off>Free ticked off>type 25.00 and click ok.

Now click "Adjust>Sharpness>Sharpen. Drop shadow your layer, and move it close to the left side of the canvas, near the planet on the paper layer.

Open element 16. Copy and paste onto your canvas, close the original.

Resize the element to 45% of it's original size. Now click "Adjust>Sharpness>Sharpen".

Drop shadow your layer.

Open element 45. Copy. Click your background layer, and paste as a new layer. Resize this element to 70% of it's original size. Leave in place.

Open element 23. Copy and paste onto your canvas. Resize this element to 80% of it's original size. Now click, "Adjust>Sharpness>Sharpen". Drop shadow your layer and leave in place.

I want to add something to the bottom, it's force of habit. I like the way that looks, when I see a timeline set. So, let's build the bottom up a little :D

Open element 49. Copy and paste it as your top layer. Using your pick tool (press K on your keyboard) stretch it so that it meet's the edge's of the canvas. Move it down to the bottom as desired. Drop shadow your layer.

Open element 42. Copy and paste, drag layer below element 49 layer. Resize to 25% of it's original size. Now click, "Adjust>Sharpness>Sharpen". Apply Muras copies filter. On the drop down menu, choose line. Type 7 in the "Number" box, leave everything else default and click ok. Drop shadow your layer.

Open element 59. Copy and paste as a new layer. Using the pick tool, stretch to meet the edges of your canvas. Click "Adjust>Sharpness>Sharpen", repeat. Drop shadow your layer. Drag below the top layer, so that this is your second layer.

Open the wordart. Copy and paste it as a new layer. Using your pick tool, size it down as desired. Drag this below the satellite image layer (element 18). Drop shadow your layer. Move it to the top left of the canvas.

Now you'll need to add your name and any copyright information for the kit, and/or tube should you choose to use one.

Don't close it yet, though. We need to make our matching avatar, for your profile picture.

Avatar size should be 180 pixels by 180 pixels.

Create a new, blank canvas of that size.

Go back to your timeline banner image.

I always try to use the area of the timeline that would be covered by the profile picture.

So once you have an area chosen, get your selection tool (make sure it's set to rectangle) press and hold the mouse over the area of the timeline cover that you want to use for your avatar. If you watch below on the status bar it will tell you how big the area is that you're selecting. It takes a bit of practice, but you can do it. Once you have the area large enough to fill the 180 X 180 canvas, simply let go of the mouse and copy it. Paste it onto your blank canvas.

Now, using the same font you used for your timeline banner, add your first initial.

That is all! You're done , Merge all layers visible and save!

Thank you for taking the time to do my tutorial. I hope to offer more in the future, so keep checking back!

You can click the image to see it in full size. Thank you for taking the time to do my tutorial. I hope you enjoy it, and would love to see your results, and receive your feedback! This tutorial was written by Mellie on May 15, 2014 and is copyright to me, the way I word thing's and the images that I use. All other images are copyright to their respective owners, including tubes/art, font, scrapkits and templates and should not be used without purchasing or written permission, nor without reading their terms of use. This tutorial is for education purposes only and is in no way intended to be used as any other purpose. This tutorial was written with the tube and kit in mind that is being shown, therefore, you may have to adjust your setting's should you choose to use images not suggested here, in this tutorial. For this tutorial, you will need to know several things. Photo Shop (I am using version CS3), and a good working knowledge of how to operate it, layer palettes and plug-in filters, masks, templates...etc. I will also assume that you add your desired drop shadows to each and every layer. :)

To copy and paste in photoshop you will need to go to Select>ALL, then Edit>Copy.
With photoshop I use the move tool and transform them to resize so I cannot give you an accurate pixel size for each element. Just use your judgement. :)
To mirror an image, you go to Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal.

For this tutorial you will need the adorable scrap kit by Monti, available at CDO

1) Let's begin by opening element 17. Duplicate it (Image>Duplicate) and close the original.
2) Let's resize the canvas, Image>Canvas size> 700 X 700 pixels and click ok.
3) Now, open frame 3. Copy/paste as new layer. Using the move tool (press V on keyboard) make sure on the top toolbar the box is ticked by "Show Transform Controls" and drag it smaller so that you can line up the honeycomb patterns with the first layer. It may take you a few tries, but it helps to zoom in (CTRL and + together) to see it well enough.
4) Now grab the magic wand tool, click the blank areas inside the frame layer ( I found 3) and go to Layer>New>Layer, choose a paper from the kit. I like paper 4. Open it in photoshop, and go to Edit>Define pattern. Now, using the paint bucket tool ( press G) flood fill it with the pattern/paper 4. Deselect by pressing CTRL + D. (same as psp!) Now drag this layer below the frame layer. Click on the frame layer in the palette and add a drop shadow. Here's how: at the bottom of the layer palettes is FX, press it with your mouse, and choose drop shadow. Play with the setting's or you can use mine:

5) Now let's start adding our goodies! I am using element 35 as my main/tube image. You can use my sig tag as a guide on element placement, or go off on your own. Just use the move tool to drag, or push the images to size up or down to your liking.
I'm adding element 11 above the frame layer and then adding element 19 as well as 48 and 30. Lastly I added the wordart 2. Now add your copyright information, we cannot forget that part. Almost done.
Now let's add our name. This is going to be a bit tricky, but you'll get it!
Grab the text tool (press T on your keyboard) and choose a font. I am using Bell Bottom Laser 60 pt. I set my color to the darkest brown that Monti used in the kit, you can use your eyedropper tool (press I) and select a color that way. Or just set the foreground to color # of choice. Add your name and at the top toolbar strip, choose Create warped text. Just click it once with the mouse and a box will appear, in the style drop down choose Arc, and set the bend at 50%, check horizontal. Leave the others at 0%, and click on ok. Now you have an arched text! Play around with the settings, if you'd like. Just remember you can go to edit:step backward, or you can press ALT + CTRL + Z and it will undo anything you just did.
Once you are satisfied with your image go to image>trim, this crops off the excess pixels around the sigtag. Save your image and you are done!

This tutorial was written with the tube and kit in mind that is being shown, therefore, you may have to adjust your setting's should you choose to use images not suggested here, in this tutorial. For this tutorial, you will need several things. Paint Shop Pro (I am using version X), and a good working knowledge of how to operate it, masks, layer palettes, plug-in filters and animations.
These item's are what you will need for this tutorial:
Mask 1 (Valentine Swirls)
Mask 2 (Heart Burst)
Tube 35-3, by Jamie Kidd, at CDO
IB Scrapkit Jamie Kidd - 35-3 by Schnegge at CDO
Toadies Ommadawn (install into your plug in folder)

Let's get started!
The first thing we need to do is open paper 05, shift + D, close the original. Open both the masks in PSP and apply mask "heart burst" with this setting:

Layers>Merge group. Add a new layer, send to bottom in your layer palette. Grab your airbrush tool, with these settings: 

I am using color #b7edf3 from the tube. Spray the layer for several consecutive seconds. (2-3) and release. You may want to resize this layer, I did by 85%. Effects>Plug Ins>Toadies>Ommadawn with these settings:

Open paper 03, and on a new layer, flood fill the canvas with it. Apply the valentine swirls mask only this time UNCHECK the invert mask data. Drag this layer above your bottom layer, so that it is your second layer and between bottom and former mask layer.

Open element 06 and copy/paste as a new layer. Position to the left on canvas. Layers>Duplicate>Image>Free rotate> Click right and 90°, make sure you're not rotating all layers! Layers>duplicate>Image>Flip. Go back to the original layer element 06 and duplicate again, Image>Mirror. Merge the 4 together and add drop shadow.
Open Frame 02, and copy/paste as a new layer, making sure it is your top layer now. Click the inside of it with your magic wand and Selections>Modify>Expand 5 pixels, ok. Add a new layer and flood fill with paper 05, pull this layer below your frame layer and deselect. On your frame layer, go to Image>Free rotate>Left>90°, Image>Flip. Click your flood fill layer, selections>select all>selections>float, paste the largest of the tube layers as a new layer, selections>Invert and on the tube layer, tap delete on keyboard. In your layer palette change the blend option to overlay.
Open element 04, the flower, set your foreground color to #2e7697, copy/paste as a new layer, top layer, and grab your recolor tool and tap it several times. Image>Resize by 45%, add drop shadow and place over the black flower on the frame. Open the element 08 and repeat copy/paste and colorizing steps, drag beneath the flower layer and free rotate to your liking. I used something like 20% and flipped a couple of mine. Don't forget to add drop shadows and sharpen your layers!
Add remaining elements of choice, I used the butterfly and word art. Drop shadow and position.
Add your tube behind the fern and flower layers, but above the frame layer.
Add your name and any last item's. Add your copyright information. Resize as needed.
On your bottom layer, the ommadawn layer, click the black lines with your magic want tool, flood fill with a matching color I am using #2e7697. Adjust> add/remove noise>add noise with this setting Gaussian checked, monochrome checked, noise level 20%, click ok. Deselect>Layers>merge all flatten. Copy/paste into animation shop as a new image> Go back to PSP and undo merge, undo deselect and undo add noise. Add noise again, this time changing noise level to 30%. Deselect, merge and copy/paste into animation shop after current frame. Go back to psp and undo merge, undo deselect, undo add noise. Add noise again, only this time changing noise level to 40%. Repeat deselect, merge and copy/paste after current in animation shop. Save your image!
