Holiday Bling! 2011 w/Free Gift Gem Styles Copyright ©Roberta Dugan/fractalartist01 December 2011 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --The holidays are a special time of the year and there is no better time for a little Bling-bling to accentuate your beautiful Christmas, New Years and wintery holiday graphics! Use for holiday stockings, gems and baubles, trees, fonts, ornaments, bows, etc. Style the entire layer or just use as an accent layer to 'trim' your festive goodies. --And this set contains a surprise for you: A free gift with your purchase that consists of 3 smooth and shiny metallic styles, as well as 7 brand new faceted gemstone styles-created in holiday colors! --I think you will find that this new set will help you create fast and easy and beautifully blinged decorations, ornaments, earrings, brooches, necklaces, bracelets, picture frames and more. Apply to brush layers, custom shapes, geometric picture frames, etc. for a quick and easy holiday look that stands out from the rest. Click on the thumbnails below to check out a few of the different ways this set might inspire you. --Holiday Bling! 2011 was created with seamless 200-300 dpi patterns so that they can be scaled up or down quite easily…making them ideal for printing or web designs. --Please feel free (and encouraged) to open them up and re-scale the patterns both up & down...depending of course, on the shape and size of the gem, jewel or image you will be creating. I found that I needed to re-scale almost every time, since the different sizes and shapes that I might be working on were so often varied. --You will find quick text instructions for how to install, rescale, and modify your new layer styles set inside the enclosed "ReadMe" text file. Once you understand how to open and make slight adjustments to your layer styles, you are going to find that you just can't live without them! As with the other gem/accent/embellishment types of styles, I tried to stay 'middle of the road' with the pattern and smooth bevel sizes-leaving the rest up to you-so that you can get the maximum use out of these uniquely patterned Bling Holiday 2011-layer styles. --Package Contents-- --Set of 24 : Holiday Bling! Layer styles created with patterns at 200-300 dpi for Photoshop 7 & Above --Set of 10 Layer Styles Free Gift: Smooth Holiday Metallic and New Faceted Gemstone Layer Styles designed with holiday color palettes in mind. ______________________________________________________________________ This product was created for PC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Files/Programs needed but not supplied in this archive: -Adobe Photoshop 7 or Above- The current version of Adobe Photoshop can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html NOTE: These styles have been tested in Photoshop 7, CS and CS2 only ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Instructions Into Photoshop: 1.

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 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 examples, try scaling the effects and see if it makes a difference. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Folder name] Holiday Bling! 2011 w/Free Gift Gem Styles [File names] 2011_HolidayBling_fractalartist01.asl Holiday_Gems_gwp_fractalartist01.asl HolidayBling_2011_wFreeGift.jpg Total number of folders = 1 Total number of files = 3 [Folder name] Documentation [File names] HolidayBling_2011_Readme.txt License.txt Total number of folders = 1 Total number of files = 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright notice: You CAN use these styles to create/style any NEW personal or commercial works.
