Ultimate Diamonds Layer Styles Copyright © 2016 Roberta Dugan Created by: fractalartist01/Roberta B. Dugan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --Can you use more diamonds? Who can't...right? --Well, I have more diamonds for you...Ultimate Diamonds, in the form of layer styles! Lots of you have been writing me since I came out with the Ultimate Diamonds Collection and asking if I was going to make layer styles too. Well, here they are! --Fellow Designers & Artists: Create beautiful faceted diamond elements, alphas, frames, gem nail-art, charms, text, clothing trims and jewelry with just "one click" of these new "ultimate" diamond faceted layer styles! This set, created for Photoshop 7 & Above includes a variety of clear diamond faceted layer styles which vary in color from clear-white to light-blue facets. You get a set of 24 different styles. --My obsession with digital gemstones and bling continues! All new diamond designs from seamless diamond patterns will help you achieve a fast and easy way to create digital diamonds that look like the real thing! --Like my other diamond styles, these are completely adjustable. --Use them as fills for gemstones or add gold or colored metallic settings around them. Make a matching chain and you have an instant bracelet or necklace! Try some matching diamond earrings too. Use them on buttons, cuffs, even accent shoes with the new diamonds you create! --Please feel free (and encouraged) to open them up and scale the diamond patterns both up & down...depending of course on the shape and size of the diamond you will be creating. I found that I needed to do that almost every time, since the diamond sizes and shapes that I might be working with were so often varied. I tried to stay 'middle of the road' with the pattern and faceted bevel sizes-leaving the rest up to you-so that you can get the maximum use out of these beauties. You will find quick instructions for how to do this inside the enclosed "ReadMe" text file. What Is Included: -- One set of 24 Diamond Faceted Layer styles created with adjustable seamless patterns to sparkle and shine at 300 dpi for Photoshop 7 & Above -- Important Note: Since these styles were created using 300dpi seamless patterns, you should always start the image you will be using the styles on at 300 dpi. Otherwise, the result will not be as expected. ~Thanks for looking & enjoy!~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package was created for PC and Mac "All of the content in this package was created by fractalartist01/Roberta B Dugan" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Files/Programs needed but not supplied in this archive: -Adobe Photoshop7 or Above- The current version of Adobe Photoshop can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/family/?promoid=BPDEK NOTE: These styles have been tested in Photoshop7, CS and CS2 ONLY and may not work in other versions of Photoshop ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Instructions Into Photoshop: 1.

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. 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_Ult_Dmndz_Styles_EX_02_MAIN.jpg cpd_Ultimate_Diamdz.asl Total number of files = 2 [File name] cpd_UltDmndz_Styles_Readme.txt Renderosity_License.txt Total number of files = 2 Grand Total number of files = 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright notice: You CAN use these styles to create/style any NEW personal or commercial works.
