FTU Tut - Purple Pleasures (Photoshop)


This tutorial is of my own creation and any resemblance, or likeness, to any other tut is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only; any use for monetary gain is illegal.

Supplies:
Program: Photoshop Elements 9 (other versions should work)
FTU Kit: Purple Pleasures by Gold Dust

Frame4
Paper14
Bird3
Boots
Butterflies
Cat
Bench
Fence
Flower8
Flowers2
Grass
Sparkles
Tutorial:
-Open frame4 and press F12 to re-save it as something else to avoid saving over the actual frame.

-Open paper14 and paste onto tag --> re-size to your liking

-Open bench. image --> rotate --> flip horizontal then re-size by 43%. Place on tag behind the frame.

-Open cat. Re-size by 35% and rotate slightly to the left for the kitty to fit nicely on the bench. Place above the bench.

-Open grass. Paste on tag behind the bench and cat then duplicate. move the duplicate layer above the bench and cat --> move slightly up so it looks like the bench is sitting inside the grass. Click on the magic wand (in your panel on the side) --> select the frame --> click inside the frame --> selections --> select all --> modify --> expand --> 5 --> ctrl+shift+i --> press delete on both grass layers --> deselect.

-Open fence. Re-size by 32% and duplicate twice. Move one fence to the far left, one in the center, and one to the far right. Overlap each one so it looks like one fence then merge the 3 layers together.

-Open flower8. re-size by 25% --> place on tag behind the bench towards the left side of it

-Open boots. image --> rotate --> flip horizontal then re-size by 25%. place behind the frame above all the other layers

-Open bird3. re-size 20% and paste above the fence layer so it looks like it's standing there.

-Color fill each template layer (the original layers) to black using the F key (flood fill tool)

Layer 1: duplicate --> hide duplicate layer --> move layer 1 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> unhide the layer 1 copy --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking (I do a radius of 5 pixels) --> do it both layers

Layer 3: duplicate --> hide duplicate layer --> move layer 1 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> unhide the layer 3 copy --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking --> do it both layers

Layer 4: move layer 4 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking

Layer 5: duplicate --> hide duplicate layer --> move layer 1 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> unhide the layer 5 copy --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking --> do it both layers

Layer 6: move layer 6 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking
