Advanced Multicolored Glass text in Photopaint!
February 10th, 2006
Step 5: Getting close! It’s time to create the “shine” part of our text! Select the text object in the docker and do another copy/paste to create a second object.
Step 6: Pump the brightness all the way up on this object to make it all white. Make sure the other sliders are set to 0.
Step 7: Using the Ellipse Mask Tool, we’re going to cut out a chunk of the white text for our shine effect. Start by selecting the tool:
Mask off an area like this:
Hit delete to cut out that part of the mask:
Step 8: Once again, use the Interactive Object Transparency Tool to fade the “shine” part downwards like this:
Step 9: Time to play with contrasts and objects again! This is just to tweak the text a bit and get it to a level I like. I’ll start off my clicking on the text object and re-adjusting it’s contrast.
Step 10: Create a second copy of this text by hitting copy/paste again.
Step 11: Tweak this object’s contrast… I want to use this to darken up the bottom of the text a bit.
Step 12: Move this object down one level so the shine is once again visible.
Step 13: Now this time around, use the Interactive Object Transparency Tool to fade the top layer upwards. This will give your text a brighter upper area and a darker bottom.
