Open up a tube of choice.
Open up a 700x700 new image.
On your Materials palette, choose a color
from your tube for the Foreground/Stroke Color.
Hide the Background/Fill color for now.
I am using the color black for mine.
Select your Rectangle Preset Shape tool.
Set the Width at 7.00 & make sure the
Rectangle option is selected.
Draw out a big square to desired size.
Objects - Align - Center In Canvas
Convert to Raster.
Copy & paste your tube as a new layer under the square.
Resize if you need to. I resized the tube i used 70%.
Position so the bottom of the tube lines up
along the bottom edge of the square.
Its okay if it overlaps a bit. We will fix that soon.
Duplicate the tube once & move above the square layer.
Copy & paste a texture of choice under the previous layers.
Duplicate once & move above the top layer.
Rename the layers such as:
Tex2
Tube1
Square1
Tube2
Tex1
Hide Tex2 layer for now.
Select the Square1 layer & select your magic wand tool.
Click inside the Square.
Go to Selections -Modify - Expand by 3. Then select Invert.
Now select one at a time the following layers:
Tex2
Tube2
Tex1
Press delete on each layer to eliminate the excess outside of
the square shape. Select none.
Now hide layers except Square1 & Tube1.
Lower the opacity on Tube2. Take either your Selection tool
or your Eraser tool & erase the excess of Tube 2 layer. Now, if
you have a part of the tube you would like to keep "popping out"
paste the Square, then leave that part.
Raise the opacity back to 100 & unhide the hidden layers..except Tube1
& Tex2. Keep these two hidden for now.
Select the Tube2 Layer in your layers palette.
Apply the plugin: File Factory Gallery E -Web -Default settings.
Duplicate Tube2 once. On the copy layer, apply the plugin
Kiwi's Oelfilter -Sezboard with default settings.
Change the blend mode on this layer to Soft Light.
Go to Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance.
Merge this layer down with the original Tube2 layer.
Apply Xero Porcelain to the merged layer.
Move the Tex2 layer underneath your Tube1 layer
& select the Tex2 layer.
Apply Greg's Factory Output -Shear Tiles -Default settings.
Change the Blend Mode to Soft Light.
On Tube1, apply the plugin Xero Porcelain.
Duplicate Tube1 layer once.
Apply the plugin: VM Natural - Splash! -Default settings.
Change the Blend Mode to Soft Light.
Now, the tube I am using had additional tube layers.
I selected one of the bird layers & Copied & Pasted as a new layer.
You can use an element or layer of choice for your tag.
Add drop shadow of choice to the layer. Position on one of the corners
of your tag. Duplicate once & position the copy on one of the other layers.
Add a drop shadow of choice to the following layers:
Tube1
Square1
Tube2
Fill in bottom layer of your tag.
Add the mask AKK_Mask060.
Right click & merge group on the mask.
Crop your tag to desired size.
Add copyright information & name to your tag.
Save as png.
