Photofilter Blending Tutorial

[Anime Monster]

Okay, I've been asked how I became so good with Photofiltre. Well there's two reasons. The first is that I read the tutorials on Photofiltre. The second is that I played around with the program.

This tutorial will show how I made the following:



Into:



Using the English version of Photofiltre.

1. Start with the Daisuke image. Image-->Duplicate

2. Filter-->Color-->Gradiant

Style: Duotone
Direction: Left to Right
Color 1: Black 100%
Color 2: White 100%

3. Filter-->Noise-->Add Noise

Amount: 5
Uniform: Checked

4. Selection-->Select All (or Ctrl+A).

5. Edit-->Copy (or Ctrl+C).

6. Go back to the original Daisuke image Window-->DaisukeTutorial2.jpg[/url].

7. Go to Edit-->Paste Special-->Assemble and choose Right.

8. Select All and Copy again.

9. File-->New...

Width: 800 pixels
Hight: 600 pixels
Resolution: 72.00 pixels/inch
Background: Black
Background Pattern: Unchecked
(or use the 800X600 pixels preset size).

10. Edit-->Paste Special-->Image with linked mask move the image to the very left.

11. Now move on to the Dark picture Window-->DarkTutorial2.jpg

12. Duplicate it the same way as the Daisuke picture.

13. Filter-->Color-->Gradiant

Style: Duotone
Direction: Right to Left
Color 1: Black 100%
Color 2: White 100%

14. Add the same noise

15. Select all and copy

16. Assemble to the Right

17. Select all and copy again

18. Open your untitled document (the one you pasted Daisuke too).

19. Edit-->Paste Special-->Image with linked mask move Dark all the way over to the right.

Now you're done.

You know, I've just been using the Gradient on one of the pictures, not both. I think I tried both once and messed it up. Then I just figured it didn't work that way, so I didn't try again. Guess I need to give it a try again. I think I see where I messed up.

Thanks for the tutorial, Anime.

You just have to mess around. The Gradiant Plug-in is also a very good tool to use, when I made the one of Daisuke and Krad I used the Plug-in and changed the number of colors to 2 and the the colors to black and white. You can change the angel on it to make it so the area you want to be darkest, most visible, is the black and the area you want to blend into the other picture is white.
