CUSTOM BAR TUTORIAL


By Linda Cox


Have you ever found the perfect bar image but it's the wrong color. Well now you can change the colors to match the color you want.

It is always a good idea to print a copy or write the instructions down before you begin.

You need to make sure that your bar image and background image are the same size. If you need to resize one of your images, you can do so at Image Magick, just remember to put ! after the dimensions when you resize to make sure you get the exact size. The bar and back image I am using is 91x258.

I started with this ROSE BAR and this BLUE BACK

Take the URL of the Blue Back and place it in the FIND Box at the top of your keyboard. Now take the URL of the ROSE BAR to IMAGE MAGIC and place in the box and click on VIEW

Click on COMPOSITE

Get the URL of the BLUE BACK from the FIND BOX and paste it in the box

GRAVITY will be CENTER

BLEND will be 100%

COMPOSE will be ATOP

Make sure the BOX is checked so it will tile

Scroll back up and CLICK ON COMPOSITE

CLICK ON OUTPUT

CHECK GIF and SINGLE and CLICK ON OUTPUT

CLICK ON IMAGE AND TRANSLOAD


This is the finished image.




HAVE FUN! I would like to thank my friend Lois aka LoLo for helping me with this Tutorial. Her custom bar tutorial was lost when the site hosting her tutorials went down. She has been a great inspiration to me.
