"DECORATE/COMPOSITE" Variable Part #1

WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING "DECORATE COMPOSITE"
FROM TALKING TO PEOPLE I FOUND OUT THAT:

-SOME DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WORKS

-SOME DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR OPTIONS ARE FOR USING IT

-SOME DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IN THE VARIABLES INVOLVED

THIS FUNCTION IS,
SECOND ONLY TO COMPOSITE,
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES OF IMAGE MAGICK FOR YOU TO UTILIZE AND ADD TO YOUR "IMAGING REPERTOIRE"
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO
REALLY
AND I MEAN REALLY USE IT FOR YOUR BENEFIT THAN IT IS, IN ESSENCE, NOT BEING UTILIZED TO IT'S FULL POTENTIAL
ONCE YOU USE IT ACCORDINGLY YOU WILL FIND A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN, NOT ONLY YOUR IMAGES, BUT IN BEING ABLE TO HAVE SO MANY MORE OPTIONS OPENED TO YOU

GO OVER THIS PAGE AND TUTORIAL EXPLAINING WHAT IT IS/HOW IT WORKS

THEN DO FOLLOWING EXERCISES.
***NOTE: READ THE EXERCISES CAREFULLY. THE EXERCISES ARE DESIGNED FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO VISUALIZE EXACTLY WHAT VARIABLES ARE AT YOUR DISPOSAL

**AS WITH ALL VARIABLE EXERCISES, WE ARE NOT STRIVING FOR
PERFECTION
BUT RATHER JUST GOING THROUGH THE EXERCISES OF YOU DOING AND SEEING AND WHEN YOU POST, I WILL BE ABLE TO BE ASSURED THAT YOU WENT THROUGH THE STEPS SO DO NOT FRET OVER WHAT THE IMAGES LOOK LIKE , AS LONG AS YOU GET THE POINT.

REVIEW DEFINITION & EXAMPLES OF DECORATE COMPOSITE

WHILE DOING THE EXERCISES BELOW,
IT WOULD BE BEST TO USE THE "SAME"
GRAPHIC, COLOR AND COMPOSITE EFFECT FOR ALL OF THE ONES UNDER "A."
AFTER THAT, FOLLOW THE EXACT SUBSTITUTIONS CALLED FOR UNDER "B.".
HOWEVER, IF YOU SO CHOOSE, YOU CAN USE DIFFERENT GRAPHICS, COLORS, COMPOSITE "EFFECTS" IN "A" BUT YOU MUST FOLLOW THE "VARIABLE CHANGE" CALLED FOR UNDER "B." IN EACH ONE.

it is best to keep them the same so that you really see the differences across the board...but I will leave it up to you...

EXERCISE #1:
A.) DO A DECORATE COMPOSITE: CHOOSE FRAME,
CHOOSE COMPOSITE EFFECT FROM DROP-DOWN BOX IN "DECORATE"
CHOOSE YOUR CHOICE OF COLORS.
FINISH UP
OUTPUT

B.) DO A DECORATE COMPOSITE: CHOOSE BORDER,
CHOOSE SAME COMPOSITE EFFECT FROM DROP-DOWN BOX IN "DECORATE"
CHOOSE SAME CHOICE OF COLORS.
FINISH UP
OUTPUT

DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USING
"BORDER" AND "FRAME" WHEN DOING "DECO/COMP"?

EXAMPLE OF EXERCISES BY LADY TIA
thank you very much...

ORIGINAL
15x15 FRAME
COLOR=SADDLEBROWN
COMPOSITE= BUMPMAP

15X15 BORDER
COLOR=SADDLEBROWN
COMPOSITE=BUMPMAP


EXERCISE #2:
A.) DO A DECORATE COMPOSITE: CHOOSE BORDER,
CHOOSE SAME COMPOSITE EFFECT FROM DROP-DOWN BOX IN "DECORATE"
CHOOSE SAME CHOICE OF COLORS.
FINISH UP
OUTPUT

B.) USING THE SAME GRAPHIC:
DO A DECORATE COMPOSITE: CHOOSE BORDER,
CHOOSE SAME COMPOSITE EFFECT FROM DROP-DOWN BOX IN "DECORATE"
CHOOSE A
== DIFFERENT ==
CHOICE OF COLORS.
FINISH UP
OUTPUT

DO YOU SEE WHAT CHOOSING DIFFERENT COLORS CAN DO WHEN USING "DECO/COMP'?


ORIGINAL
15x15 BORDER
COLOR=ROSYBROWN
COMPOSITE=HARDLIGHT


15X15 BORDER
COLOR=CADETBLUE
COMPOSITE=HARDLIGHT


EXERCISE #3:
A.)USING THE SAME GRAPHIC:
DO A DECORATE COMPOSITE: CHOOSE BORDER,
CHOOSE COMPOSITE EFFECT FROM DROP-DOWN BOX IN "DECORATE"
CHOOSE SAME CHOICE OF COLORS.
FINISH UP
OUTPUT

B.) USING THE SAME GRAPHIC,
DO A DECORATE COMPOSITE: CHOOSE BORDER,
CHOOSE
==DIFFERENT==
COMPOSITE EFFECT FROM DROP-DOWN BOX IN "DECORATE"
CHOOSE SAME CHOICE OF COLORS.
FINISH UP
OUTPUT

DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN HOW YOUR CHOICE OF COMPOSITE "EFFECTS" ALTERS THE LOOK OF THE IMAGE?

EXAMPLE OF EXERCISE BY AD-TU
thank you very much...


ORIGINAL
15X15 BORDER
COLOR=GREY
COMPOSITE=SOFTLIGHT
OUTPUT



15X15 BORDER
COLOR=GREY
COMPOSITE=LINEARBURN
OUTPUT



EACH EXERCISE CAN BE POSTED IN INDIVIDUAL POSTS.
**Please specify on your post:
-YOUR WORKSTEPS,
AND
-WHICH EXERCISE YOU ARE POSTING

THE MORE YOU WORK WITH IT, THE MORE YOU WILL GET USED TO
- WHETHER TO USE "BORDER" OR "FRAME"
- HOW THE COLORS AFFECT YOUR IMAGE
-WHAT COLORS YOU HAPPEN TO LIKE
*click on the word "color" above the parameter box in order to get a limited color chart
or for a much wider range to choose from check this

PIRATE VOYAGER TOOLS & MORE

"COLOR WHEEL" **THIS WILL HELP IN PICKING TRULY "OPPOSITIONAL" COLORS

- HOW CERTAIN COMPOSITE "EFFECTS" ALTER YOUR IMAGES

WHEN YOU DO THESE, YOU WILL SHOW 1 COMPLETE CYCLE OF POSSIBLE VARIATIONS AND WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU CHANGE JUST ONE THING,,,
HOWEVER, CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY ARE POSSIBLE?
I AM SURE YOU GOT THE IDEA NOW.

I HOPE THAT YOU DO THIS MANY MANY MORE TRIES
(ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT COLORS AND COMPOSITES)
BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR SERIOUS IMAGING,
SPENDING HOURS, PUSHING BUTTONS IS NO FUN WHEN YOU WANT A GR88888T LOOK.

FIND SOME INFORMATION
NOW
TO ADD TO YOUR "IMAGING REPERTOIRE" FOR LATER
ANY INFORMATION IS VALUABLE, BE IT GOOD OR BAD.
I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO AS MANY AS YOU CAN BEFORE WE MOVE ON.

- THIS CAN BE A PRIMARY SOURCE OF ADDING
LIFE TO YOUR IMAGE.
