************************************************************ *Product Name: Autumn and Halloween Styles *Copyright September 2011 *By: SorayaShams - P. Majid *Product Copyright: P. Majid ************************************************************ Autumn and Halloween Styles is a set of 18 autumn layer styles, 7 halloween layer styles and 1 halloween action. This product could be used for privat or commercial projects. -------------------------------------- Contents: 25 Photoshop layer styles and 1 action. All styles and effects were created in high quality and at 300 dpi. -------------------------------------- System Requirements: For the styles and actions: PC Photoshop CSx NOTE: This program has been tested in Photoshop CS5 only! (The styles may work also with other versions, but this version is tested) -------------------------------------- Ownership Statement: All of the content in this package was created by P. Majid aka SorayaShams. -------------------------------------- Installation Instructions for the styles: 1. Unzip and extract the styles (.asl file) into your Photoshop styles' Windows directory (normally C:/Program Files/Adobe Photoshop/Presets/Styles). 2. Open Photoshop and under the 'Window' menu select 'Styles' 3. In the new opened Window, load the 25_autumn_halloween_styles.asl by clicking on the little triangle in the circle at the right side and select 'Load styles' from the Drop Down Menu. 4. Choose the layer you would like to add a style and click on that style you like to add to. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips for the styles: I have created the styles for 300 dpi, if you have another resolution (for example 72 dpi for web designs) you maybe have to re-scale the styles for a better looking effect, so this is simple to do: Under the 'Layer' menu, select 'Layer Styles' and select 'Scale Effects ...' from the pop out menu. Click on the arrow button to show the Scale slider. You can change the size of the style visually using the slider or by entering a specific number. The numbers below can be used as a starting point. 100% (no scaling) for print size images at 300 dpi 150% for Medium sized images 275% for Large sized images All styles are seamless, making them perfect for web design or character creation. All styles were created in high quality and at 300 dpi (best print quality), if your layers have for example a resolution of 72 dpi, you have to re-scale the style for a perfect result. For 72 dpi the result is great with a scale effect at arround 418% -------------------------------------- Installation Instructions for the action: 1. Unzip and extract the actions (.atn file) into your Photoshop actions' Windows directory (normally C:/Program Files/Adobe Photoshop/Presets/Actions). 2. Open Photoshop and under the 'Window' menu select 'Actions' (or shorter: press F9) 3. In the new opened Window, load the 'Halloween_Action.atn' file by clicking on the little triangle in the circle at the right side and select 'Load actions' from the Drop Down Menu. 4. Choose the layer you would like to add an action, click on that action you like to add to, and click on 'start action' - the triangle at the end of the window. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips for the action: I have tested different dpi-resolutions and didnīt have to re-scale the effect. But if you think you have to change the resolution, here is the easy way to go: Different image sizes and different dpi-resolution make it sometimes necessary to re-scale the effect for a better fitting, which is very simple to do: Under the 'Layer' menu, select 'Layer Styles' and select 'Scale Effects ...' from the pop out menu. Click on the arrow button to show the Scale slider. You can change the size of the style visually using the slider or by entering a specific number. -------------------------------------- Terms of Use: All items included in this pack may be used for personal or commercial work provided they are not offered for resale in their original form.
