Now open another new image 400 x 400....fill black Right click..select all.....you must do this step or the sinedot will not work and your program may crash on you. Now go to effect...Dragonfly/sinedot. We are going to create a bubble. Use the following settings below. Be sure that you do not have inverse checked.You can save the sinedot you just made by typing in a name where you see default..then click save. Select ok. The image will appear on your canvas..its slow though so be patient.

Your bubble is now an object..and we now want to make it into a mask. In order to do this we need to change it to grayscale.. Go up to format..select data type..and grayscale. A new image will appear..you can close the other one. Now open another canvas 400 x 400..again fill with black .. Go up to selection and choose import selection..... you will see your bubble in the window and it will now appear in the new image you just created. Your bubble will be active with jagged lines.... right click on it while active and select convert to object. |
|
Now lets fill our bubble with color..go up to fill..select magic gradient... click on the edit button to select a color..I chose 011..... also choose Mode 14. Click ok.
Now you have your bubble the color you want it....you may also at this time click it and drag it to your Easy Palette to use again. |
|
Click on your bubble and select copy. Go back to the original image you created....your clouds.. go to edit ...paste as object..do not merge! Get the image you want to use for your bubble and paste it in your bubble.. move it around to get it where you want it to be. Right click on it..select properties..change transparency to 10%. Then right click again....arrange..send to back. To add more bubbles..right click and duplicate your original one and edit..paste..choose the transform tool to change the size of it... on mine I created 3 bubbles and left these on top of the images. If any area of your bubbles are covering an area of your image that you do not want covered..click on it ..go to your eraser tool and erase the portion that is covering your image. |
