SEVERE RAISE & SINK

With or Without

DECORATE/COMPOSITE





Hi All, Scarlet here with something that is not exactly new. I teach it in my classes. However, I seldom see anyone using it and it is a
MUCH OVERLOOKED & SIMPLE TO DO
technique. That is why I decided to put it into Tutorial form.
You can do this with either
ONE STEP
or
TWO STEPS
It is entirely up to you.

WHAT CAME FIRST, THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG? LOL
HERE IS A GR888T EXAMPLE OF MY OTHER TUTORIAL ON SEVERE/RAISE X ONE THIRD.
LOOK AT ALL OF THE ANGLES MADE.
SO....WHICH IDEA CAME FIRST?
THE MORE SPECIFIC ONE? OR THIS, MORE GENERAL ONE , WITH THE EXPLICIT EXAMPLE?
Hmmmm......??
Now, looking at the date, it appears that the later, more elaborate "brainstorm" came to me. That seems to be an extension of this one
AND
like I said at the beginning,,,I was seeing no one use the technique.
Me thinks I felt a need for a
"LAST CALL,,,GOING GOING GONE!!!"

Let's start with the first step formula
Use DECORATE SINK or RAISE
NO COLOR PARAMETERS
AND
LARGE NUMBERS BUT A DIFFERENT ONE FOR WIDTH THEN FOR HEIGHT

THIS WILL GIVE YOUR IMAGE A CHANGE OF:

- PATTERNS
- SIZES OF EDGES
- TEXTURES

***NOTE:
YOU CANNOT RAISE OR SINK 1/2 THE SIZE OR LARGER OF ANYTHING OR ELSE YOU WILL GET A MESSAGE IF YOU USE 1/2 OR BIGGER NUMBERS THAN THAT. SO IF YOU WANT TO GO FOR THE MOST EXTREME LOOK DIVIDE BY 1/2 AND MINUS ONE PIXEL
(one parameter size)

Let's start with this example...

From this



IMAGED TO THIS

WIDTH=344 HEIGHT=390



SAME AS ABOVE ONLY RAISING AND SINKING 20X100 NO COLOR



NOW LET'S ADD THAT SECOND OPTIONAL STEP IF YOU WANT AN EVEN MORE EXTREME LOOK

DECORATE COMPOSITE 0X0 INDIGO BORDER
COMPOSITE= DIFFERENCE



SAME AS ABOVE ONLY DIFFERENT COLOR

DECORATE/COMPOSITE 0x0 ROSYBROWN BORDER
COMPOSITE=DIFFERENCE



DO YOU SEE WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES?

HERE ARE A COUPLE MORE EXAMPLES

ORIGINAL:

SIZE = 300x436



DECORATE/RAISE = 100x3

DECORATE/SINK = 3x168

DECORATE/COMPOSITE
BORDER 0x0 ROSYBROWN
COMPOSITE= DIFFERENCE



ANOTHER FINISHED IMAGE

SIZE = 309x400

DECORATE/RAISE = 90x4

DECORATE/SINK = 8x198

EFFECTS/SHARPEN = 12x12

DECORATE/COMPOSITE
WHEAT BORDER 0x0
COMPOSITE=DIFFERENCE




TRY COMBINATIONS OF DIFFERENT COLORS,,,,,

DIFFERENT COMPOSITES USING DECORATE/COMPOSITE

DIFFERENT PARAMETERS FOR RAISE/SINK
(NO BIGGER NUMBERS OR EQUAL TO 1/2 OF YOUR PARAMETERS!!!!! DON'T FORGET)

EVERY TIME YOU USE A DIFFERENT PARAMETER NUMBER OR COMBINATION OF NUMBERS YOU WILL GET A DIFFERENT PATTERN.

EVERYTIME YOU USE DECORATE/COMPOSITE AFTERWARD, YOU WILL GET A DIFFERENT LOOK...

EVEN GRAB AN OLDER IMAGE YOU DID BEFORE AND TRY IT,
IT CAN BE HALF-DONE OR EVEN COMPLETE
DUST IT OFF AND RUN IT THROUGH "DECORATE"
ESPECIALLY WITH DECORATE/COMPOSITE...

HOW IS THAT FOR EASY , ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE PRESSED FOR TIME BUT FEEL LIKE IMAGING!!!
