Cold Night for Alligators

*********************** 

with all the files ready to go, let's get started.

open the template and resize at 750px by 650px.

hide the copyright info layer.

now merge the following layers together:

square4 and square3

square2 and square1

rectangle2 and rectangle1 

now add a new raster layer above the background and select all.

open paper8 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer and select none.

apply mask219 at default settings.

right click on the mask layer to merge the mask group.

duplicate the mask.

pull the copy under the original mask layer.

apply a gaussian blur by 3 to the bottom mask layer.

merge together the mask layers.

now repeat the steps with mask98 and paper10.

now add a new raster layer above the circle template layer.

on the circle template layer, select all/float/defloat.

open paper7 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the circle template layer.

now duplicate the paper7 circle and apply a cutout with the following settings:

V -0

H -0

Opacity - 100%

Blur - 50.0

shadow color - #000000

fill interior - unchecked

now change the blend mode of the cutout to multiply.

merge down the cutout with the paper7 circle.

now add a new raster layer above the rectangle1 template layer.

on the rectangle1 layer, select all/float/defloat.

open paper6 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the rectangle1 template layer.

repeat the step with the following layers and papers:

frame back and paper18

frame 2 and paper7

square1 and paper19

square3 and paper12

frame back 2 and paper13

frame 1 and paper16

now open the close up tube.

copy and paste (C/P) as a new layer on the very top.

pull the tube over the bottom left square3/paper12 layer.

now duplicate and mirror the tube.

pull the duplicate tube to the upper right of the square3/paper12 layer.

use my tag for placement reference.

merge the close up tubes to one layer.

now change the blend mode of the tube layer to Luminance.

change the opacity of the tube layer to 50%.

on the layer palette, drag the tube layer down so it is just above the square3/paper12 layer.

on the square3 template layer, select all/float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on the tube layer.

select none.

now go down to the background layer and select all.

crop to selection.

this gets rid of any excess portions of the tube that is not visible on the canvas.

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! =)
