Reflecting Over The City
This is my own creation, any similarities to other tutorials is purely
coincidental and unintentional.
This is what we will be making...
You will need Eye Candy 4000 for this tut.
Open a New Image 600 x 400.
Choose a graphic of your choice, making sure that it has
some water in it. Choose a tube of your choice.
I got mine from the stock.xchng.
Now make this into a Misted image, if you are not
sure how to do so, please refer to my Misting Images Tut.
Now, choose one light and one dark color from your
graphic and make a gradient. Using these settings,
Linear, Angle 45, Repeats 0.
Flood Fill your New Image with the gradient.
Now, Selections, Select all, go to your misted graphic,
Edit Copy, back to you New Image, Edit, Paste Into Selection.
Deselect.
Add a New raster Layer, add your tube. I changed the
Blend Mode to Luminance and the Opacity to 50 on my tube layer.
Add a New raster Layer, add your name and watermark.
Layers, Merge Visible. Add a 2 pixel border.
Using your Selection Tool, outline the area of the water
that you want to animate.
Now got to Effects Eye Candy 4000, Jiggle with these settings...
Select none. Edit, copy and now in animation shop, Paste as New Animation.
Back in PSP, Edit Undo Select None, Undo Jiggle.
Now Effects Eye Candy 4000, Jiggle with the settings the
same as before, except click on the Random Speed to change it.
