Abalone & Paua Shell Layer Styles {Set #2} With Free Gift Copyright İMay 2009 Roberta Dugan Created by: Fractalartist01/Roberta B. Dugan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --A Set of 24 Richly Textured Abalone & Paua Shell Layer Styles With Free Gift for Photoshop CS & Above --Due to the overwhelming popularity of the first set of Abalone & Paua Shell styles I designed, I decided to create an additional set! This set is a little more textured than the first one, which gives the shells a very realistic shiny/metallic appearance. I tried to provide you with a variety of color choices. This set also works beautifully on cabochon gemstones! (see examples on product pages) --Important Notes: The Product Preview pages contain examples of different types of layers with the styles applied to them so you can see the end result...these example images are not included in the styles package --The gold, silver and bling settings/text used on the product pages were made with one of the following additional layer style sets and are not included in this package: "BLING! Silver & Gold", "BLING! Textured Gold Laces", or "BLING! Textured Silver Laces" (all available here at Renderosity.com in fractalartist01's store) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package was created for PC.

Unzip and extract these styles (.asl file) into whereever you keep your Adobe/Photoshop CS (or Photoshop CS2)/Presets/Styles directory. 2. Open Photoshop. 3. If you don't already have your Styles window visible, click on "Window" and then "Styles" 4. In your "Styles" Window, click on the little triangle in a circle, that's pointing to the right. (located in the upper right hand corner below the "open/close") of the styles box 5. Select "Load Styles" from the Drop Down Box 6. Locate and Choose/highlight/load: the ".asl" (styles file) from your Styles folder 7. Apply to your layer with one click! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usage Tips/Special Instructions ****Quickie Re-Scaling Instructions: "How To Re-Scale/Adjust Layer Styles for Any Size Image in Photoshop"**** 1) To scale your layer effects go to (menu) Layer > Layer Style > Scale Effects. Or you can access this command from the Layers palette by right-clicking on the small layer effects symbol (looks like an f) on your layer, then choosing the Scale Effects command. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) When you choose Scale Effects, the dialog box "Scale Layer Effects" will appear. You can reduce the scale down as low as 1% to make the effects smaller, or increase the scale up to 1000% to make the effects larger. This re-scales every effect used in the Layer Style at once...OR you can just remove/add a shadow, add a stroke or inner bevel, change the pattern scale size, etc. *Checking the "Preview" box will allow you to see what is happening as you're adjusting.* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) So the next time you download some layer styles and find they don't look quite the same on your own images as they did in the product examples, try scaling the effects and see if it makes a difference. The images on my product pages are almost always scaled down in size so that they can look right for the web! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- File List: Abalone_Part_02_By_Roberta.asl Abalone_Part_02_Gift_Roberta.asl License.txt Readme.txt Total number of folders = 0 Total number of files = 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright notice: You CAN use these styles to create/style any NEW personal or commercial works.
