Wildhearts Works Best Of 2008- Textures

Dec 31st, 2008 Posted in design, textures | no comment »

I am gonna do some mad hatter posting to get what I consider to be my best stuff out to you in time to go out with the old year and bring in the new. These are textures I did this year. The green cross hatch, foil, and fall leaves I did for my guest posting Texture Tuesday With Wildheart over at Scraps of Mind. The plaster looking one is one I created just for the fun of it. I was absolutely pleased with how the plaster look came out. It looks like the trowel just had a hey day with it. The fall leaves were inspired by watching swirling leaves in the parking lot. My attempt at concrete was inspired by looking at the patterns in concrete made when forming it as it dries with a trowel that has more of a serrated edge to it.

Old Paper Texture Tutorial( a couple of adjustments)

Jun 30th, 2007 Posted in nansonsplace, old paper, paint shop pro, paint shop pro 9, textures, tutorial | no comment »


This is an old paper texture I learned how to make from yet another nansonsplace.com tutorial. The tutorial works straight across the board for paint shop pro 9 until you hit step 10 of the tutorial. In their tutorial the textured paper already has a blurred look by this point. In version 9 I didn’t get the blurred look until the end when I went in to adjust>soften>soft focus.

In step 12 when you go into adjust the midtone: adjust>brightness and contrast>highlight/midtone/shadow the radio buttons for version 8 read linear adjustment method and dynamic adjustment method where as for version 9 they are called absolute adjustment and relative adjustment. In paint shop pro 9 you want to check relative adjustment. This step is optional as it is just to make the paper effect look a little darker. But I thought it was necessary to point this out if you are using version 9 or higher as their are differences in each version. As I have said before you don’t really notice a major difference in features and interface
especially until you jump from version 8 to version 10 though.

<<Final product after making adjustments in version 9

I got paint shop pro 9 my first or second semester of the first year of college and as with all things shortly after I got it Corel came out with version 10 and now they have version 11.

Another successful attempt at a tutorial from nansonsplace.com . I am really pleased with how well this one turned out . This persons tutorials are so easy to follow. There are detailed screen shots of everything. This site gives you very clear and easy to follow steps so that you can recreate the tutorials with ease.

Don’t let the fact that it only supports version 7 and 8 of paint shop pro deter you from trying these tutorials out on version 9,10 and 11. From the way things are set up on version 9 there isn’t much of a difference between version 8 and 9. I would say there is more of a drastic difference between 8 and 10 and even 9 and 10 in the way the interface is set up. Plus in my opinion I have tried version 10 on a trial and to me it feels as if it is geared towards the photo editor type of person. Paint shop pro 7,8 and 9 are more graphic design oriented.

Next installment is another try at a different type of textured paper tutorial.
