FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK
Timeline
This tutorial was written by me on November 26th
2012. I first had the idea of the tutorial last year but never had the time to
write it so here I am now finally catching up on myself.
For this tutorial you will have to have a working
knowledge of Masks and layers.
For this tutorial you will need
Paint Shop pro or whatever your program you use – I am using PSP 9
Including in the folder is Three Gradients made by Me
A Santa in front of the moon (I don’t know where it came from so if this is your please let me
know and I will credit you or take it down)
Wreath on a Lamp post (Again if this is yours please let me
know so I can credit you or take it down)
My Cityscape Mask (Place this into your psp mask folder)
Plugins needed for this tutorial are as follows:
Filters Unlimited – Special Effects 1 – Blurred Mesh
Mura Meister Copies -- Wallpaper Rotate
Xero - Sparkle
Eye Candy 4000 – Gradient Glow
Fonts of Choice or the ones I used
Ok lets begin
1. Open your supplies in PSP.
2. Open your workspace – For the timeline you
will need 800 x 300, this Is the size you will need for your timeline space.
3.
On your First layer
floodfill with one of the gradient I have supplied.
4.
Add new layer and add the
black/grey gradient. Layers add load mask from disk.
5.
Delete the mask layer and
merge group.
6.
Add your tube and go to and
add mura Meister copies, Wallpaper Rotate settings as below. You might need to
tweak how many copies you want just make sure you fill the whole layer.
7.
Now go to Adjust Blur and find your Motion
Blur. Have your settings sitting as mine are below.
8.
Repeat the blur.
9.
Change the blend mode on
your blur layer to overlay.
10.
Copy your Santa moon tube
and place it behind the cityscape near the left side of the workplace.
11.
Click onto the Gradient
layer and go to plugins and find your Xero Sparkle. Add with the settings
below.
12.
Copy your tube and place
to the right side of your layer. This is best used with a close up tube. Change
the blendmode to overlay.
13.
Now with the Angelica
font type out the saying, Mine I took from the Song Fairytale of New York, the
words are as follows – The boys from the NYPD Choir were singing Galway Bay and the
bells were ringing out for Christmas Day. Place it above your tube close up layer .Once
done change to a raster layer and change the opacity to 83.
14.
Copy your Lamp post tube
and place to the left side of your workspace.
15.
Copy and paste your tube
to the left side leaving enough lamp showing so that you can see it.
16.
Crop your layer back to
800x300 and add a new layer. Selections select all, modify and contrast by 6.
Invert and floodfill with a colour of choice. Add the Bevel used below and
deselect.
17.
Add your copyright, remember with Timeline Facebook ask that you not give the address
