Foxxee's Gauzy Curtains by Foxxee

A quick example of how to pucker the tops for those newer to graphics creation (for lurkers or beginners). I've merged layers on this one to show here. (((Then you just set your layer transparency and you have drapes))) Pull the top half ends in~

Thank you for the gift... I've saved it in my special FF Folder just for things I see here from others and want to save to admire later

(((So glad you like!!)))

This really is one of those images I could keep working on. Had to stop myself, LOL.

However I may end up grapping another one of your windows and some new drapes... thinking maybe a swag~

Craig has a Sunset filter that would be great and also Steve has enough glass to keep me busy for a loooong time.

LOL

Oh, maybe Kraellin's Rubber Face would be a nice effect on them too, give them more movement

Yep, I do... it's very handy
Hmm, well I do have some ideas, or maybe 1 good one.
Is it possible to make the movement go to one side or the other, a slider that would allow that sort of manipulation? I was thinking of pulled back curtains myself, and Persidio mentioned making swags, you know, how you gather a curtain or drape from it's middle and tie it back to one side. It would be a great effect and so useful. Can't even get my PSP or other filters to do this for me, so I usually have to take the long way around and spend time doing them by hand, fold by gathered fold

You don't take a short cut with distortions? (((Foxxee I know how long you've been making graphics now... )))

Hey you don't happen to have any tie backs do you?

((Ron's Lab Enhance used on the background image... and Foxxee's Preset 3 for the curtains))

I think it's safe to say Preset 3 is my fav~ I luvs them all I just can't stop using the third preset~

Well okay it could use more work, but that's the general idea for side swags~ (Going to save more layers... I may have to paint on the fairy too... ) Saving this for a rainy day~

Yes I can do that, but that's just not very satisfying to me. I like that pinched and pleated look so when I put a tie-back on them it will look nice and neat, not just sort of bunched up. Guess my mom's training is nagging me somewhere in the recesses of my subconscious, huh?

You mean made ones like in tubes?

Oh, you're welcome. I'm glad you are enjoying them

I just got done with optimizing my Gem Maker but when I tried to submit it said there was already one waiting in the queue Wonder how it got there

I just finished another Moody Shadow 2. This one, like the window and curtain shadow, casts a leafy or branchy shadow across your images. I've always loved the look of dappled sunlight or moonlight.
And, I made another mistake in submitting...(what's new, hehe)... I forgot to add an Image component to the filter so I could submit to the Photo category. Instead I submitted to Misc
Oh well, another day, another re-submission

foxxee,

have to put the rubber face update on the back burner. but, i seem to recall that you use psp. what version? i think it was ver 9 that they included a warp brush and warp mesh. those would do what you want nicely. you might also take a look at the psp disortion filters. some of those would probably work also.

Well that's weird~ You can write from the contact page and ask. That's just strange.

Hi Craig, Was playing with your filters today, rubber face was one of them. Very nice! Was playing with everybody's filters again. I'd very much be interested in an update for rubber face in the future,, not the near future because there is not hurry. No rush, no much~

thanks, jean

yes, i just looked at rubber faces again myself. and yes, it needs an update and simplification. those controls are just weird, even for me

thanks, jean
