PRETTY PARROT



I made this image 3 different ways and are basically very easy to do.

First one is done with a triple gold frame using "translate". Other two are done changing the first number of the ellipse. Let's get started.

For printer's convenience: http://www.wtv-zone.com/MsLee/Images/parrot.jpg

Gold framing: Go to Draw: Ellipse 157.5,204.5 130,180 0,360
Stroke Color #9c8c59 Stroke Width 2
same as above only down in "translate box" erase what's there and use -5 Draw
Once again same but use 5 in "Translate". Output as a Jpg JPEG Quality 35
Gold frame

Second one - Ellipse: 147.5 ,204.5 130,180 0,360 same stroke color - #9c8c59 Stroke of 2
Ellipse again only change first number to 157.5
again only changing first number to 167.5
Matte between the framing. Now composite using Dstover and Misc the background colors.

For the Third style everything done same as second one except I did Matte to the white background - make it a Gif to use for the shadow and go to Dave's tool
Shadow Tool
Leave everything at the tool page as is. Submit. Click on the image and upload. (it is now a jpg) I take it back to I.M. and optimize if it's too large.



NOTE: I had to take the image to Net4Tv Image Magick as Koya I.M. did not matte it out very well. I used 12000 under Fuzz to matte.
