.....................................
FOR OUR NEWCOMERS....ENHANCE HUE CAN BE USED TO CHANGE THE COLOR OF YOUR GRAPHIC
IN THIS INSTANCE IT CHANGED THE PURPLE/LAVENDER COLORS TO SHADES OF GREEN. I NOW HAD A LITTLE GREEN ALIEN INSTEAD OF PURPLE SHADES BY USING ENHANCE HUE @35.
I COMPLETELY ALTERED THE FRAME BY USING A DISTORT. DEPOLAR DISTORT IS FOUND IN FX
TO USE IT YOU WOULD ERASE THE PARAMETER IN THE BOX AND REPLACE WITH THE FOLLOWING...
A NUMBER NEAR THE WIDTH OF YOUR GRAPHIC (IN THIS INSTANCE, THE GRAPHIC WAS 500 WIDE...I USED 425 AS MY FIRST NUMBER) THE NUMBERS ARE PLACED IN THE BOX WITH NO SPACES BETWEEN, DO PUT A COMMA BETWEEN NUMBERS.
FIRST NUMBER=NEAR WIDTH OF GRAPHIC
SECOND NUMBER=0
THIRD NUMBER=180
FOURTH NUMBER ANYWHERE BETWEEN 35 AND 75
WRITTEN LIKE THIS
425,0,180,35
GO DOWN TO DROPDOWN MENU FOR 'VIRTUAL PIXEL' AND CLICK ON THE MENU. YOU MAY CHOOSE ANY OF THE VIRTUAL PIXEL SELECTIONS THAT YOU LIKE. MIRROR, TILE, RANDOM, BACKGROUND AND SO ON. TRY ONE, USE YOUR BACK BUTTON AND TRY ANOTHER. SEE WHAT EACH DOES.
OTHER OPTIONS ARE TO CHANGE THE FIRST NUMBER..IT CAN BE SMALLER...I PLAYED FOR A WHILE THERE BEFORE CHOSING 425...ANYTHING FROM 350 TO 450 IS WHAT I TRIED THE LAST NUMBER....YOU CAN USE ANYTHING FROM 30 TO 100 WITH THE RESULTS VARYING DEPENDING ON WHAT PARAMETERS YOU CHOOSE. I LIKED WHAT 35 DID TO MY GRAPHIC.
THERE IS AN EXCELLENT TUTORIAL FOR THIS IN OUR NG SHARES UNDER THE TUTORIAL SECTION. LOOK FOR DePolar DISTORT.

....................................
**DISCUSSION....
AFTER CREATING TRANSPARENCY WITH THE PAINT FUNCTION YOU CAN DO DIFFERENT COMPOSITE CHOICES, IF YOU LIKE. DSTOVER WILL COVER ALL TRANSPARENT AREAS AND NOT AFFECT THE REST OF YOUR GRAPHIC
SCREEN WILL COVER ALL TRANSPARENT AREAS WITH A 'TRUE' IMAGE AND THE REST WITH A SORT OF FADED IMAGE MAKING IT LOOK LIKE IT IS PART OF THE FRAMING, KIND OF BLENDS THE PATTERNED AREAS AND GIVES YOU A TRUE IMAGE WHERE IT WAS TRANSPARENT
THAT'S WHY I CHOSE IT FOR THIS IMAGE.
DIFFERENCE WILL GIVE YOU A 'TRUE' IMAGE WHERE IT IS TRANSPARENT AND ACT JUST LIKE AN ORDINARY DIFFERENCE COMPOSITE OVER THE PATTERNED AREAS. DARKEN WILL GIVE YOU A 'TRUE' IMAGE OVER TRANSPARENCIES AND ACT JUST LIKE AN ORDINARY DARKEN COMPOSITE OVER THE PATTERNED AREAS. SAME WITH MULTIPLY.
OTHER CHOICES COULD BE LUMINIZE, HUE, EVEN THRESHOLD....WITH THRESHOLD SOMETIMES THE NEXT PAGE WILL APPEAR BLANK...THE IMAGE IS THERE, TRUST ME, GO TO OUTPUT AND OUT AS A JPG AND YOU WILL SEE THE COMPOSITE IS THERE.
IF YOU CHOOSE ONE OF THE COPY+COLOR COMPOSITES, DEPENDING WHAT YOU CHOOSE, YOU CAN GET SOME REALLY WILD IMAGES. IE...IF I HAD USED COPYYELLOW INSTEAD OF SCREEN IT WOULD HAVE GIVEN ME AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LOOK. BOTH IN THE TRANSPARENT AREAS AND THE PATTERNED AREAS. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM REFERRING TO. WONDER WHAT COPYCYAN WOULD HAVE DONE? COULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE. THERE ARE AN INFINITE NUMBER OF WAYS YOU CAN USE THESE FRAMES...THEY ARE MASKS THAT HAVE A BACKGROUND ALREADY IMPRINTED. TREAT THEM THAT WAY AND YOU ARE IN BUSINESS.
HAVE FUN, DEANNA
