This mini tut is set up to show you

the basics for it.

 

 

Working on your Image

 

This assumes you are at a loss on

using this filter.

 

 

1  Effects > Plugins > Flaming Pear >

Tesselation

Settings:

Note: This screen shot shows with sizes

I used.

The original image size was 1200 pixels

wide by 400 pixels high.

This will vary depending on your

own preference's for the width used.

Note the height is set at 370, this will vary

as to how much of your image you

wish to blend.

 

The Settings

 

These are self explanatory.

We will use these for your learning

experience.

 

1  This is where you set your width.

 

2  Here you see the height = 370

this is the default used by the filter.

 

3  Here you select the type of

blending.

This is the default as well, but

you can play and see how it

looks to you.

 

4  Here you set how you

want it to look.

As you can see I selected just

the one option.

 

5  Click OK if you're done playing.

 

What they do

 

1  Determines the width used.

 

2  Sets the amount of blending,

by removing 30 pixels from the

bottom, to overlay it on the top.

 

3  Blending mode selector, this is

the default setting that sets the

blending placement.

 

4  This allows the image to Wrap top

and bottom and sides when selected.

 

5  Click OK if you're done playing.

 

The Final Process

 

1  This is the final step needed to

complete this process.

 

2  Crop Tool (R)

Toolbar Settings:

Width = 1200

Height = 370

Click the  to apply.

 

Note: The width and height will

be that of your own.

 

3  The reason for the Crop Tool is

to remove the excess blank area

that the Tesselation effect creates.

See screen shot.

 

Note:

I save my work to take into Letter

Creator, but I do not close PSP out

until I am sure I have successfully

created the blended seamless

appearance on my work.

If not I go back into PSP and undo

and try again.

 

Remember the Undo 

(Alt+Backspace; Ctrl+Z) is your

favorite friend.

 

I hope this mini tutorial I have written

helps you understand the functions

and the workings of this filter.
