Welcome To Tutorial Info

As accepted you will accept to actualize a certificate and a new layer.


Then administer a angled acclivity on it.


It will be bigger if you actualize a archetype of our key layer.


Maybe to use some clarify now. Let's say the Crystallize filter. To arise the edges.




Switch to abracadabra wind apparatus if I'm not mistaken with the name here.

The ambition actuality is to baddest the accomplished Yellow.

PS: In Ps you can do it in abounding ways.






Tap to add the blush - the one with the +.




It is called now.

As you see it has now absolutely accepted aspect ratio. Make a basal selection.


It is bigger to save this selection. So do it.


Save the alternative and Make a plan aisle with pixel altruism = 2.


So now we accept a plan aisle to plan with. We can warp, ample and transform it like we want.

Now we will transform our aisle a little bit and not just a little bit :).

For transforming a aisle in Photoshop you can use any appearance alternative accoutrement like Pen Tool (P) for

As a aboriginal allotment of the tutorial we will bury some band with gradients.




So actualize a new layer, accept ballyhoo a white acclivity and chase me.

Create addition band and bury it with acclivity too.





This time set aggregate approach to becloud and see all the settings I detail. Here are the after-effects of the aboriginal band gradation.



To ability this aftereffect just try several times with Darken gradient, you can not ability the exact anatomy like I did.



Transform and Warp the top gradient. Something like this. Moreover set the band approach to Linea light.





I've formed out some colors application Color antithesis adjustments.

I don't accept the absolute settings but as you can see the highlights are chicken and Mids are Violet – pink.



Now I would like to accomplish the angel added valued. So for this I will accomplish some elements to fit the background.

Create a new band and bury it with blush to accuracy acclivity from top.



Well aswell use a affectation on this band and actuality are the acclivity settings to our mask.



I aswell bifold the acclivity band and set the top archetype caliginosity to 3%.



I've aswell asleep a little bit of the acclivity application low breeze caliginosity brush.



And Cropped the angel to fit the composition.



I've created a new band and acrylic just a little bit with the aforementioned bendable brush.

Flip the canvas and we are accessible with our basal element, but I wish to actualize a wallpaper from all this.

Create a new document, let's say about 1024 x 768.

And rag our Flattened angel to fit the wallpaper like this.

Create 4 copies of the Angel and use Hue assimilation acclimation on anniversary of them. The amount have to be +12 on hue every time.



Use achievement 3 px on every copy.



Now what I did, I've created a archetype of anniversary of the layers (4) and alloyed them together.

Moreover I've activated motion becloud filter

Use addition Chrome clarify alteration absolutely the picture.



Final accomplish - 2 abstracted layers with gradients. Both set to Color Burn.



... and voila – it's done.



Our autogenous analogy is finished.

I stumbled aloft an angel of one of the Olsen twins (don’t apperceive which one, don’t commonly pay abundant absorption to them to be able to acquaint them apart) altered from the antecedent for olsen_systa’s sample image, but able-bodied ill-fitted to this task. Note the white background, acceptable ambit of highlights/midtones/shadows, and the abridgement of a adumbration abashing any allotment of the face. This angel is ideal because it requires no abetment above-mentioned to application the Beginning command (coming up soon). Added images may charge a lot of blush acclimation afore they could be fabricated acceptable for use in this tutorial, abnormally as commendations caliginosity on the face. Accept your images wisely.Step 1: Open your image. Duplicate the accomplishments band and accord it a advantageous name. (I called abundance ’olsen, threshold’.) Save to PSD to get your alive book established.Step 2: Accomplish abiding your new band (not the background) is accent and run card advantage Angel » Adjustments » Threshold… The absence amount in the Beginning chat box is 128. For this angel I added it to 151 and, annoyed with the way it looked, apprenticed OK.

At the end of footfall 2 you should accept something akin the angel to the left.Step 3: With the beginning band highlighted, run card advantage Clarify » Stylize » Diffuse… Baddest Anisotropic approach and columnist OK.Step 4:Run card advantage Baddest » Blush Range… Use the eyedropper to sample the atramentous allocation of the image, afresh run the Fuzziness slider in the Blush Ambit chat box up to 200. Columnist OK. The atramentous allocation of the angel should now be amidst by boot ants.Step 5: Run card advantage Baddest » Save Selection… Accord the alternative a name and columnist OK. Columnist CTRL-D to deselect. We’ll reload the alternative later.Step 6: Accomplish a new band on top of the others. Baddest the Acrylic Bucket tool. Set the apparatus to ample with a arrangement rather than a blush and ample the new layer. I acclimated one of Photoshop’s congenital patterns. You may use any arrangement you like. (See the Layers palette at the end of footfall 6.)

Step 7: Accomplish addition new band on top of the others and ample it with white. Add a band affectation to this band by acute the Add Band Affectation button on the Layers palette.

Step 8: Run card advantage Baddest » Amount Selection… Accept the alternative you adored beforehand from the dropdown card in the Amount Alternative chat box and columnist OK.

Step 9: Run card advantage Edit » Fill… Ample the alternative with atramentous (which should accord to your accepted accomplishments blush if the affectation band is highlighted). Though you’ve abounding the alternative with black, you won’t see atramentous in the image. What you should see is the arrangement ample from the band beneath bold through area the called affectation was filled. Columnist CTRL-D to deselect. (See the Layers palette at the end of footfall 9.)

At the end of footfall 9 you should accept something akin the angel to the left.Step 10: With the affectation band still highlighted, baddest the Besom apparatus and accept a large, hard-edged brush. (I acclimated the admeasurement 19 brush.) Painting on the affectation with white as the beginning color, acrylic over those locations of the angel you ability not need, bold you see added being that doesn’t charge to be there. In this case, I bankrupt up the lower allotment of the image. Here’s my angel afterwards cleanup.Adding argument which shows the aforementioned backdrop as the angel is done in abundant the aforementioned way the angel itself was made.Step 11: Baddest the Argument tool, get a chantry you like and add some text. I chose Porky’s and added a asinine banana complete aftereffect chat to the image.Step 12: Run card advantage Baddest » Amount Selection… The actual access will already be called by absence in the chat box, so just columnist OK. The argument should now be amidst by boot ants.

Step 13: Turn off afterimage of the argument layer. The argument will abandon but the boot all-overs will be larboard behind. (Deselecting appropriate now would be bad.)

Step 14: Highlight the affectation band and accomplish abiding the affectation allocation of the band is selected. Run card advantage Edit » Fill… Ample the alternative with atramentous (which should accord to your accepted accomplishments blush if the affectation band is highlighted, just like the endure time we did this). Once afresh the arrangement ample should appearance through the mask, authoritative the argument attending just like the blow of the image. Columnist CTRL-D to deselect. (See the Layers palette at the end of footfall 14.)

Step 15: Save the PSD, afresh Save For Web in your adopted format, and you’re done!

When you print from CorelDRAW® 12, you're actually using the print engine to send commands to your printer. Print options use information gleaned from your print driver to enable you to control how various object types are reproduced on the printed page.

It is useful to know that the PostScript tab (shown below) appears only when you have selected a PostScript printer. When the CorelDRAW 12 print engine prepares a document for printing, these options enable you to control how the PostScript page description language is prepared for your printer.





Is Your Printer Compatible?
The question of printer compatibility is based on whether or not your selected printer is of the PostScript variety. Designed to make printing more efficient, PostScript printers use specific page description language to reproduce certain aspects of text and objects. Essentially, non-PostScript printer drivers convert the entire contents of your document into a bitmapped image based on your drawing size and the material size onto which you're printing. If you're unsure of your printer's compatibility, check either with your manufacturer or the documentation included with your printer. Generally, deskjet, bubblejet, and inkjet printers are non-PostScript while imagesetters are exclusively PostScript.

Ordinarily, selecting a printer and its device driver—and perhaps even the PostScript Printer Driver (PPD) file—will automatically set the Compatibility option (shown below). Compatibility will depend on how recent your printer's PostScript technology is. Along with everything else in the computer industry, PostScript technology has evolved over the years. Older printers may be limited to Level 1, whereas newer printers may be compatible with Level 2, or PostScript 3.



If you're sending your print job through a high-end PostScript "postprocessor" that requires Document Structuring Conventions (DSC), choose the Conform to DSC option. Postprocessors can perform complex prepress functions, such as color trapping, page shuffling, and complex signature structures.



Total Power Over Printing Bitmap Images
If your PostScript printer is compatible with Level 2 or PostScript 3 standards, and either of these is selected from the Compatibility drop-down menu, the Use JPEG Compression option (shown below) becomes available. By using compression, you can decrease the size—and consequently the time—it takes to send bitmapped images to your printer, especially if they are rather large.



With compression enabled, the Quality Factor slider becomes available (as shown below). Since JPEG is a "lossy" compression standard, you can use this to adjust the output quality of the printed bitmapped images. To speed up printing, you can control the print file size by altering quality, which affects compression.





Connecting to Externally-Linked Files
The two linking options (shown below) provide control over how your PostScript printer will handle externally-linked files in your CorelDRAW 12 document. The two varieties—Open Prepress Interface (OPI) and Desktop Color Separation (DCS)—refer to unique printing strategies often used by high-end printers.

Maintaining OPI Links
While this option is enabled (the default state), the print engine will automatically maintain external links to bitmap images imported using OPI. If you're using OPI, you can store high-resolution bitmapped images in your printer's internal memory and use low-resolution placeholders in your document. During printing, the high-resolution images replace the lower-resolution placeholders.

Resolve DCS Links
In a printing strategy similar to OPI, DCS technology enables you to import into your CorelDRAW 12 document low-resolution placeholder images that contain embedded links to digitally-separated images for use in process, or multi-ink, printing. While Resolve DCS Links is enabled (the default state), the high-resolution images automatically replace the placeholder images. If you deactivate Resolve DCS Links, a prompt will appear just before printing occurs, enabling you to resolve the links manually.

Choosing a Screen Frequency
When it comes to printing separations, controlling Screen Frequency is a function unique to PostScript, essentially controlling the spacing of the screen dots which compose tints and halftones. The screen frequency value (shown below) determines the number of lines per inch (LPI) for the entire print operation and is typically used when separating color plates to an imagesetter or a platesetter.



The Default setting leaves the frequency function in the hands of the raster image processor (RIP) to which you're printing. Changing to a specific setting enables you to override the RIP settings. It's is useful to know that, when separations are selected, it automatically changes the default frequency settings from the Separations tab (shown below).



You can also customize screen frequency directly from the Separations tab, or in the Advanced Separations dialog (shown below), which you can access by clicking the Advanced button from the Separations tab.





Power Over Font Handling
CorelDRAW 12's print engine provides two options (shown below) for controlling specific font handling during printing. By default, both options are selected. To speed printing, the Download Type 1 Fonts option tells the print engine to send Adobe Type 1 fonts to your printer's internal memory before printing. Since Adobe Type 1 fonts are often preferred over TrueType fonts, the Convert True Type To Type 1 option tells your PostScript printer to replace any True Type fonts with available Adobe Type 1 equivalents. If no equivalents exist, the TrueType font is used.





Managing PDF Options
If your document is being output as a PDF (Portable Document Format), and you're printing a composite, the PDF Marks options (shown below) become available. From the On Start drop-down list, you can specify how your PDF initially displays. You can choose from Page Only, Full Screen, or Thumbnail views. You can also choose whether to Include Hyperlinks or to Include bookmarks in the resulting PDF file.





Controlling Curve Printing
For highly-complex drawings, the print engine's power over vector paths provides very specific control with three options for setting curve printing.

Maximum Points Per Curve Limit
If necessary, you can choose this option to limit the maximum number of points on a printed path. By default, when sending path descriptions to your printer, CorelDRAW 12 automatically uses a Maximum Points Per Curve setting of 10,000 nodes per curve. If the limit is exceeded, path descriptions are simply clipped, usually without altering their appearance. The default limit is usually more than enough for printing typical object paths, but you can set this value anywhere between 20 and 20,000 nodes per curve. Be warned though—increasing the limit may overwhelm your printer's memory.

Curve Flatness
The often misunderstood term "flatness" refers to the number of straight vector paths used to describe a curved path. The more straight vectors in a curve, the less complex the path will be to print—and vice versa. Increasing the flatness setting causes less smooth printing of curves, but also speeds the printing process. The Set Flatness To option enables you to set the flatness limit to a value between 0.20 and 100.0.

Bump Up Flatness Automatically
For objects that exceed the flatness setting by two, the Auto Flatness option automatically increases the flatness setting until the object prints.

Control Over Fountain Fill Printing
If you've used fountain fills in your CorelDRAW 12 document and you need more control over how they print, there are two available options that will help.



To avoid undesirable "banding", the Auto Increase Fountain Steps option tells the print engine to examine your document for opportunities to increase the number of fountain steps toward improving their appearance.

Banding becomes visible when the number of steps in a fountain fill is too low to simulate a smooth color transition (shown below). Increasing the number of steps that describe a fountain fill increases the printing time but achieves better printed results. Up-to-date PostScript printers can often handle higher step values than the default 256 for all fountain fills in your drawing. If this is the case, you can leave this option selected (the default state).



The Optimize Fountain Fills option works in reverse of the Auto Increase Fountain Steps by allowing the print engine to decrease the number of fountain steps for objects in your document to the maximum number of steps your printer is capable of reproducing, the Optimize Fountain Fills.

As with any print operation, be sure to scrutinize your document closely before finalizing your options. Give careful consideration to how you'd like the document to print and the capabilities of your selected PostScript printer. Once you've selected the perfect setup, you can avoid the tedium of choosing options repeatedly for a specific printing operation by saving the entire setup as a unique Print Style (accessed from the General tab of the Print dialog box). Using a Print Style, you can include your PostScript printer selection and all of the PostScript-specific options you've selected for instant reuse.
