Blending Overlays with Patterns
This tutorial brought to you by Piggy Scraps Design Today's tut is quick & easy and incredibly useful. Blending Overlays with Patterns Let's say you have a fantastic overlay. And a fantastic pattern. You put the two together and it looks, well, fantastic. Not so fast Sparky! Check it out at 100%: See how the edges are incredibly crisp? This might happen on a nice, tight, satin-y cotton or gloss paper but not on a well-textured fabric/paper. There is a very quick & easy solve for this: gaussian blur. Just go to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur: Play with the blur Radius a little. I wound up using 1.7 pixels in my example, but this can vary depending on the size of your pattern. Note how natural the blurred-pattern looks after the Gaussian Blur has been applied. It's little touches like this that make for a truly professional kit. Note: Be sure to apply the Gaussian Blur to your pattern layer and not your overlay/texture layer. |
