This
is part 2 and you need to do part one first since we start
where we left off in Part 1
|
|
1
|
|
To open the object you
made in Metal Patina Part 1, go to File|Open and locate
the file you saved
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Click on the object picker
tool
|

|

This
layer of text is going to be the edge of our "metal" so
lets make some adjustments to it.
Image|Adust|Hue-Saturation-Lightness.
Change the Hue to -10; Saturation to -25; Lightness to
0
Click
OK
|
|
4 |
|
Effects |Blur|Motion Blur, Change the speed to 26; Direction to
320; and check the ignore pixels outside of image.
Click
OK
|
|
5 |
|
Now
we are going to make a duplicate, use CTRL+D on your keyboard
to make the duplicate, you'll now see Object 2 in the
Object docker
|
|
6 |
|
Using
the arrow keys on the keyboard, hit the up arrow 3 or 4
times (I used 4) and the left arrow 3 or 4 times (I used
4)
|
|

|
Edit|Fill and fill with
your patina, if it isn't the default, then go to edit, samples
7 and find the copy you saved in the Metal Patina part 1
tutorial.
Click OK to fill
|
|

|
We want
to smooth this out a bit so go to Effects|Blur|Jaggy De-speckle
and use a setting of 1 for both sliders. Be sure the top
object is the one selected.
Click
OK
|
|
9 |
|
To combine these two objects
click on the Object 2 in the object docker and shift click
Horse (your text) then use the combine objects button on the bottom
of the object docker
|
|
10 |
|
Next
go to Image|Adjust|Brightnes-Contrast-Intensity and put
Brightness at 0 Contrast at 20 and intensity at 15
|
|
11 |
|
To
add a drop shadow, click on the Object Drop shadow icon, I
choose the preset of Flat Bottom Left (I'm not sure why, but
if you click on the Flat Bottom Left once and it doesn't work,
just click on it again)
|
 
|
12 |
|
Here
is the property bar for the drop shadow. You can change the
opacity, perspective and blur from here.
|
|
|
Here
is the finished image. Be sure to check out Metal Patina Action
to make your own action of this procedure to apply to any
text with a click of the button.
