Simple Tag Tutorial – Using a Tube

Part 2

 

11. We need to pick a contrasting color for the background of your sig tag.

You can use the  Dropper Tool 

12. Click on the dropper tool and drag over your tube

        

13. When you see a color that you think will look good for the background – right click
      and
it will change the Color material to that color. 

14. If you left click – it will be in the foreground

       

 (Note – the color of my background is #F7eac0)

 Double click on the background or foreground colors and your material information
 will show you the color you picked.

15. With our color picked for the background, make sure that you have clicked
      on
Raster 1

 

Remember my Tip, make sure that you have highlighted Raster 1 (In blue)

16. Click on the Flood Fill tool

17. Hold the Flood Fill tool over your image Right Click 

 18. When you right click the background color is the flood fill

 

 19. Next we are going to use the Gaussian Blur effect.  This is one of my favorites
       and it makes a great looking tag.

 20. Highlight the Raster 2 layer 

 

21. Now, go to the Toolbar – Layers – and click on Duplicate

 

22. Let’s see what our Layer Property has on it  - It should look like this

 

 23. Now with the Copy of Raster 2 layer highlighted (in blue) go to Adjust - Blur
      Gaussian Blur 



24. Use these settings

 

 Your layers palette should look like this

25.  We need to move Raster Layer 2 above the copy. Make sure that you have
       highlighted Raster 2. It should be in blue

 26. Go to Layers - Arrange - Move Up



 27. Depending on the color of your background, you should see a soft color
       outlining the tube.

               
 

We are almost finished.
