so first, delete or hide the template copyright layer.
delete these following layers, as we will not be using them:
Left Glitter Circle
Right Glitter Circle
Glitter Circle
combine the following layers into 1 layer and rename thin rectangles:
Thin Rectangle 1
Thin Rectangle 2
Thin Rectangle 3
on the bottom layer of the template, select the Transmission Oval layer.
colorize with these settings:
hue: 18 saturation: 252
now add a new layer above Left Circle 2 and select all.
open paper7 from the kit and copy.
paste into selection on the new layer in the working canvas.
*do not deselect*
click on the Left Circle 2 and float/defloat/invert selection.
hit delete on paper7.
select none and delete the Left Circle 2 layer.
now duplicate the Left Cirle 1.
pull the duplicate below the Left Cirle 1 and apply the linear transmission with the following settings:
slice size - 1
offset - 2
blend - 25
horizontal - checked
duplicate the Left Cirle 1 again and add a gaussian blur by 4.
merge down to one layer.
now repeat the same paper and linear transmission steps with the following:
Right Circle 2 and paper7
Right Circle 1 and duplicate/linear transmission/gaussian blur
now add a new raster layer above the Lrg Rectangle layer and select all.
open paper13 and copy.
paste into selection on the new raster layer.
*do not delete select*
click on the Lrg Rectangle and float/defloat/invert selection.
hit delete on the paper13 layer.
select none and delete the Lrg Rectangle.
now duplicate the paper13 layer.
pull the duplicate under the paper13 layer.
apply the linear transmission again with the same settings.
duplicate it again and add the gaussian blur by 4.
merge down the paper13 layer with the other duplicate layers to one layer.
now add a new raster layer above the thin rectangles layer.
open paper12 from the kit and copy.
paste into selection on the new raster layer.
click on the thin rectangles layer and float/defloat/invert selection.
hit delete on the paper12 layer.
select none and delete the thin rectangles template layer.
duplicate the paper12 layer.
pull the duplicate under paper12 and apply the same linear transmission settings as before
but this time, changing the horizontal to vertical.
do the same duplicate/gaussian blur/merge to 1 layer steps again here.
now open the OFFSETCIRCLEFRAME from the kit.
copy and paste (C/P) it at 100% as a new layer above the Circle 1 layer.
delete the Circle 1 template layer.
now add a new raster layer above the Circle 3 layer and select all.
open paper1 from the kit and copy.
paste into selection on the new raster layer.
select none and for now, hide the paper1 layer.
now on the Pixel Words layer, set the blend mode to soft light.
open the closeup tube and C/P it as a new layer above the paper1 layer.
position it to your liking and set the blend mode to overlay.
now open the FLAME element from the kit.
C/P it at 100% as a new layer above the closeup tube.
position it to the left of the circle.
duplicate and mirror the flame.
merge down and set the blend mode to screen.
now go back down to the Circle 3 and select all/float/defloat/invert selection.
unhide the paper1 layer and hit delete.
also hit delete on the closeup tube and flames layer.
select none and delete the Circle 3 template layer.
on the Words layer, colorize it with the same settings as before.
now add a new raster layer above the Star Right 2 layer and select all.
open paper1 from the kit and copy.
paste into selection on new layer.
click on the Star Right 2 and float/defloat/invert selection.
hit delete on the paper1 layer.
select none and delete the Star Right 2 template layer.
repeat the steps with the Star Left 2 layer and paper1.
now that all the basics are done, add any elements, text and tubes.
don't forget to add artist credit and license info.
when you're all done, copy special > copy merged.
paste as a new image and use your magic wand tool to select outside the tag.
invert selection and crop to selection.
that will get rid of any extra space that you don't need.
thanks for trying my tutorial! =)
