DOUBLE DECORATE COMPOSITE
by SCARLET &
Princess_PINK



Here, we are going to employ the technique of

"DECORATE COMPOSITE"

in an excelled way.

-- After you are familiar with above technique,
Do a "Decorate/Composite"
DO 2 OF THEM IN A ROW
DO NOT OUTPUT

CHOICES YOU HAVE

-- You can use any colors and/or combination of colors,
any Composite effects and/or combination of Composite effects.

1 Color choice and/or combination of Color choices.
(ie. use 1 Color and finish with "Decorate"


-- go back then use same options except a different Color

-- 1 Composite Effect(s) and/or combination of Composite Effects.
(ie. use 1 Composite Effect and finish with "Decorate"
go back then use same options except a different Composite Effect)-- You can use Border,
finish with "Decorate"
go back then use Frame,

or use Frame
finish with "Decorate"
go back then use Border,

-- Use Border both times
(as long as there is at least one other variable
ie. 2 DIFFERENT COLORS) ,

-- Use Frames both times
(same rule of thumb as both Borders
IE. 2 DIFFERENT COMPOSITE EFFECTS)

***YOU CAN USE A CERTAIN COMPOSITE EFFECT AND COLOR FOR THE FIRST TIME THROUGH AND
CHANGE BOTH
COMPOSITE EFFECTS AND COLOR EFFECTS FOR THE SECOND TIME THROUGH
THAT WILL GIVE YOU 2 VARIABLES...


For those XXXTREMELY ADVENTUROUS
You can use "DECORATE COMPOSITE" more than twice,,,
3, 4, 5 times if you wish.
(ie. 2 different colors, 2 different Composite Effects,etc)

***Each time you take an image through Decorate
and use Decorate/Composite
than output out of Decorate
that is referred to as
ONE CYCLE of Decorate Composite


Given the number of variables, the possibilities are endless.

However, not always guaranteed a "winner",
You have to try until you come up with a successful image.
The real trick is in picking the right color or combination of colors and the same with the other variable
(Use your Back Button as often as you need to....)


BEFORE GOING FURTHER,,
I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU A POSSIBILITY THAT YOU CAN DO USING "DECORATE/COMPOSITE" MORE THAN ONCE IN A ROW..

ORIGINAL


FIRST EXAMPLE USING TWICE IN A ROW


SECOND EXAMPLE USING 3 TIMES IN A ROW


THIRD EXAMPLE, 3 TIMES IN A ROW, OTHER "EFFECTS" AFTERWARD


FOURTH EXAMPLE, 3 TIMES IN A ROW, OTHER "EFFECTS" AFTERWARD


NO OTHER "EFFECT" CAN PRODUCE SOME OF THESE OUTCOMES
ESPECIALLY COLOR-WISE

REMEMBER,,,THIS ALL CAME FROM BASICLY A BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO.

**WHEN POSTING THE ASSIGNMENT
(you can do Images that use Decorate/Composite for the board and are not the assignment but practice.
Here I am speaking of choosing a double Decorate/Composite that fits any of the above variable schemes,
PLEASE WRITE OUT YOUR STEPS
What is important are WHAT you changed and HOW it changed)

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRACTICE THESE
CHECK OUT THIS PAGE
BOTTOMLINE:
THIS IS DOING 2 "DECORATE COMPOSITES" IN A ROW
WITHOUT "OUTPUTTING"
BUT GOING DIRECTLY BACK TO "DECORATE" AFTER THE FIRST "DECO/COMP"
CHANGING VARIABLE(S)
