HI ALL,,
SCARLET HERE WITH SOME MORE
"EXTREME IMAGING"
INFORMATION FOR YOU TO USE AND ADD TO YOUR
"IMAGING REPERTOIRE"

THIS TIME WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING
"F/X SHADOW"
THIS ALLOWS YOU TO PLACE A
SHADOW
PERPENDICULAR TO 2 SIDES OF THE PERIMETER OF YOUR IMAGE

IMAGE MAGICK DEFINITION:
Shadow
simulate an image shadow.
shadow percent-opacity{xsigma}{+-}x{+-}y{%} simulate an image shadow
The first value is the percent opacity, the second is the blur sigma value, and the third and fourth value is the shadow offset relative to the original image

A BIT CONFUSING?
LET'S TALK ENGLISH HERE...

THERE ARE 4 PARAMETER PLACEMENTS

START WITH A PARAMETER OF
50x5+20+30.
TRANSLATION:
THE FIRST NUMBER REPRESENTS DEGREE OF SATURATION
(depth-richness of color hue)

THE SECOND NUMBER REPRESENTS DEGREE OF BLUR OF COLOR

THE THIRD NUMBER REPRESENTS HOW MANY PIXELS
MINUS TEN
YOUR SHADOW AREA IS GOING TO BE TO THE RIGHT

THE FOURTH NUMBER REPRESENTS HOW MANY PIXELS
MINUS TEN
YOUR SHADOW AREA IS GOING TO BE TO THE BOTTOM

**THIS SHADOW IS NOT INSIDE BUT ON THE
PERIMETER
OF YOUR IMAGE
USE A COLOR PARAMETER IN THE
"BACKGROUND COLOR" BOX AT THE BOTTOM FOR DIFFERENT COLORED SHADOWS

**NOTE: I AM ONLY SHOWING YOU WHAT IS NEEDED TO MAKE YOUR SHADOW, NOT WHAT I DID IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE WHOLE IMAGE.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS TEACHES HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SHADOW...

ORIGINAL



F/X SHADOW= 50x5+20+20
BACKGROUND COLOR=GRAY35
**FINISHED UP
OUTPUT AS "GIF"

FINISHED



EXAMPLE



F/X SHADOW=100X10+20+30
BACKGROUND COLOR=DARKVIOLET
**FINISHED UP
OUTPUT AS "GIF"

FINISHED



***DEFAULT COLOR
IF YOU DO NOT STIPULATE ANY BACKGROUND COLOR AT BOTTOM OF "F/X"
THEN SHADOW WILL BE BLACK
(as in on black background cannot see!!!)

DON'T FORGET TO
OUTPUT AS "GIF"
OTHERWISE THE SPACES WHERE THE "SHADOW" IS NOT EVEN WITH YOUR IMAGE WILL BE BLACK

USING THIS,,,,I CAN TELL THAT THIS CAN MAKE SOME AMAZING
EXTREME EFFECTS

**NOTE:
SHADOW IS ONLY CREATED TO THE
RIGHT AND BOTTOM
OF YOUR IMAGE...
SO WHAT IF YOU WANT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE?
DON'T FORGET TO USE
"TRANSFORM/FLOP
and
"TRANSFORM/FLIP"
AAAAAAAHHHH.....GOOD IDEA!!!

BE CREATIVE....
DON'T SETTLE FOR ONLY WHAT "F/X" GIVES YOU..

Te Namaste,
Scarlet
