Jim, thank you so much for the time you put into this. I learned a few new things! Can you describe the steps for creating the png? Now that I have a better idea of what is actually happening, I found a You-Tube video that uses graphics and clipping masks:
https://youtu.be/qg1vmQqVVOcDid you use a pre-set graphic or "paint" your own?
Now, to your tutorial:
- I had never used "File - Place" so that saved a few steps right there (I would normally open another file, then drag from Photo Bin).
- I have used the PS Elements "Pattern" stamp once, so was pleased to revisit. It works a bit differently from your instructions, I think. I had to use a
brush to apply your pattern texture over the whole image. But maybe I'm just mis-understanding.
- The color code you provided, f6bf70, seemed orange on my editing computer (see screenprint), is pinker here. Not the UHH "mustard yellow effect" again?
- I happened to use a photo with all blue sky and a simple central subject, so it wasn't until I chose a different pic (Mt Hood, #4 below) that I discovered how your png
really works - duh!! A good one for Rongnongno's "pure stupidity" thread
Again, thank you so much for your time in putting this together. You and other PP Forum participants bring great value to the section!
