Sparkle Question


Recommended Posts

Some time ago I saw a layout in the gallery that was very sparkly....can't find it now....but I remember it was a Beatles song inspired layout...Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.....

 

Can someone tell me how to make a part of your layout sparkle. I don't mean glitter but something that looks like a light is hitting it......

 

Sorry if I am describing this funny but it is 3 in the morning! :bedtime:

I am not sure if this is what you mean, but there is a little used brush in PSE that actually looks like a star or "ting" of a light hitting something (the criss-cross)- You can actually use it once, and then make it smaller and rotate it and then use it again. I know I used it lately (but not sitting in front of PSE at the moment... sorry) and I know there is a tutorial on it... I will get back to you if this is indeed what you are talking about!

For glitter you use the noise,duplicate and then animate

for a simple glitter effect.

 

 

For actual sparkles that blink

 

You duplicate your image 2 or 3 times.

You use a sparkle plugin to add sparkles to all copies.

You use slightly different settings for each image copy.

You animate the whole image with a animation program

like imageready if you use PS

 

or AS{Animation Shop }if you use PSP.

 

Sparkle Globes are made this way.

Is this the layout you're referring to?

I'm not sure which part of that page you're talking about, though. Do you mean the photo or the entire page itself?

 

Yes! that is the very layout I was referring to. :bouncing-frog: I guess it is the entire page itself but mostly on the right hand side of the page.

I think maybe that is what I need to do. If you can find the tutorial, I would very much appreciate it. :disappearing-smilie:

 

 

I will also see if that "noise, duplicate" technique that GPamela mentioned will work for me. I use PSE.

 

Thanks again for all your help ScrapGirls ! :thanks:
