BLING! "Diamond Facets" Layer Styles for Photoshop CS & Up Copyright ŠApril 2009 Roberta Dugan Created by: Fractalartist01/Roberta B. Dugan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- A Set of 24 Faceted Diamond Patterned Layer Styles for Photoshop CS & Above Just think of it! Now you can actually have a whole collection of diamonds in many shapes and sizes-clarity and cut. Riches beyond your wildest dreams.... ----Fellow Designers & Artists: Create beautiful faceted diamond elements, alphas, frames, nail gem-art, charms, text, clothing trims and jewelry with just "one click" of these new diamond faceted layer styles! This set created for Photoshop CS & Up includes a variety of diamond faceted layer styles which vary in color from clear-white to light-blue facets. You get a set of 24 different styles. --Those of you who know me personally, realize how obsessed I can be with digital gemstones and bling! I worked on these styles a very long time to try and achieve as close to a "one-click" easy and fast way for you to create digital diamonds that look as real as I could possibly make them. (and still have them be adjustable) I am very pleased with the result-and I hope you will be too. --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 creating 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 you get: --24 Diamond Faceted Layer styles created with patterns at 200-300 dpi for Photoshop CS & Above --Some have shadows and some don't, so please remove or add drop shadows according to your own taste and what you happen to be working with or designing at the time Important Notes: The Product Preview pages contain examples of different types of layers with the styles applied to them so you can see the end result...these example images are not included in the styles package --The gold, silver and gemstone settings used were made with one of the following additional layer style sets and are not included in this package: BLING!

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: BlingDiamondFacetsbyfa01.asl License.txt Readme.txt Total number of files = 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright notice: You CAN use these styles to create/style any NEW personal or commercial works.
