"Under the Sea" Layer Styles Copyright ©2013 Roberta Dugan Created by: fractalartist01/Roberta B. Dugan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --This new set of layer styles for Photoshop 7 & Above have a nautical/ocean theme and are sure to come in handy when creating underwater, ocean, beach or nautical designs! Several have underwater 'vignettes' of fish and other sea creatures that can be used as a "one-click" fill for fish bowls, fish tanks, brandy snifters, portholes and even light bulbs!! (One even has sunken pirates treasure)! --Also included are sand, sea, shell, seaglass and coral reef styles to complete whatever ocean inspired them that you decide to design. --As with all of my layer style sets, all of the basic work has been done for you-making this a great resource tool to create nautical-inspired designs both easily and quickly! You won't need to bother with shading, lighting, seamless tiling, bevels, etc. --And also as with all of my styles sets, these are created at 300dpi with medium sized (600pixels) seamless patterns. Why is this important? Because then you can scale the sizes up and down without worrying about crazy seams showing up or having the resolution get blurry! --I hope you have fun with these- I sure did!! They are a little different from anything I have ever designed before in a layer styles set and I got a little carried away with the product example pages so, check those out for more info, LOTS of styled examples and maybe even some inspiration!

(located in the upper right hand corner below the "open/close") of the styles box 5. Select "Load Styles" from the Drop Down Box 6.

(they can even be converted to .pat) files and installed as patterns) Open with any application you have that opens/edits png files-use however you like! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usage Tips/Special Instructions Quickie Re-Scaling Instructions: "How To Re-Scale/Adjust Layer Styles for Any Size Image in Photoshop" 1) To scale your layer effects go to (menu) Layer > Layer Style > Scale Effects. Or you can access this command from the Layers palette by right-clicking on the small layer effects symbol (looks like an f) on your layer, then choosing the Scale Effects command. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) When you choose Scale Effects, the dialog box "Scale Layer Effects" will appear. You can reduce the scale down as low as 1% to make the effects smaller, or increase the scale up to 1000% to make the effects larger. {Somewhere in between those settings usually looks best, however} This re-scales every effect used in the Layer Style at once...OR you can just remove/add a shadow, add a stroke or inner bevel, change the pattern scale size, etc. *Checking the "Preview" box will allow you to see as you're adjusting.* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) So the next time you download some layer styles and find they don't look quite the same on your own images as they did in the examples, try scaling the effects and see if it makes a difference. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- File List: [File name] cpd_Under_the_Sea_01.asl cpd_underthesea_porthole_MAIN_02.jpg Total number of files = 2 [File name] cpd_underthesea_styles_readme.txt License_Renderosity.txt Total number of files = 2 Total files=4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright notice: --You CAN use these styles to create/style any NEW personal or commercial works. --You CAN NOT however re-distribute or sell them in their original raw form or in a modified form as an asl styles set.
