05/15/05Image MagickSCARLET

SCARLET

Explanation:
Make Pre-Made background upon entering Image Magick.(Or take in a black gif/jpg)
NO OTHER GRAPHICS ALLOWED!!!
NO OTHER BACKGROUNDS ALLOWED!!!
Create an Extreme image using only those materials.
SUGGESTIONS:Alternate heavily between the TRANSFORM and F/X functions.
Making a Pre-Made background, then either output as is and save OR alter using IM functions and save.
BACK, INPUT,erase what you had, making another Pre-Made background and use Saved URL in order to have a Compositing factor.
Difference between "AFN" and "X-AFN" is
-NO SYMMETRY,stay away from Balanced look, pretty designs, flowers,etc.
Logic within itself but not as we have come ot know it

"COLORWRAPPING EXPANDED"
DateExamplesOriginal Graphics Imaged Examples
06/13/05Image MagickSCARLET

SCARLET

Explanation:
2 new ways to enhance Stranger's COLORWRAP technique
1) Instead of using Fractal pre-make your own background using Plasma or Netscape upon entering Image Magick
2) Using Fractal or background, to ensure an excellent COLORWRAP, resize graphic to smaller ie. height=350 or less. Next, when you first bring in Fractal or background, go to RESIZE, double the size, Then when Compositing your graphic use TILE ACROSS. You then have 4 Versions of your COLOWRAP. Crop off 3/4 of Image (those 3 versions you don't want)
***In order to avoid "STRETCHING" out the pattern of your Fractal/background too much, the more you downsize your graphic the less you will have to upsize the other
**Tutorial to be made on this...
