Please refer to Readme file for Terms of Use. *All are .png files except the Photoshop .pat & .asl files *All items included are not pictured and are greatly reduced *All were created at 200-300 dpi by fractalartist01 --Please feel free (and encouraged) to open and re-scale the patterns (inside of the layer styles) both up & down...depending of course, on the shape and size of the gem, jewel or image you will be creating. I found that I needed to re-scale almost every time, since the different sizes and shapes that I might be working on were so often varied. You will find quick text instructions for how to install, rescale, and modify your new layer styles set inside the enclosed "ReadMe" text file. Once you understand how to open and make slight adjustments to your layer styles, you are going to find that you just can't live without them! As with the other gem stone types of styles, I tried to stay 'middle of the road' with the pattern and smooth bevel sizes-leaving the rest up to you-so that you can get the maximum use out of these unique styles. ________________________________________________________________________________ This product was created for PC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Files/Programs needed but not supplied in this archive: -Adobe Photoshop 7 or Above- for the .asl and .pat file The current version of Adobe Photoshop can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html NOTE: These styles have been tested in Photoshop 7, CS and CS2 only: patterns in CS & CS2 & Above only ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Instructions Into Photoshop: 1. Unzip and extract the styles {or the .pat file-for patterns} (.asl file) into whereever you keep your Adobe/Photoshop 7, CS (or Photoshop CS2)/Presets/Styles directory. 2. Open Photoshop. 3. If you don't already have your Styles window visible, click on "Window" and then "Styles" {or patterns for the .pat file} 4. In your "Styles" Window, click on the little triangle in a circle, that's pointing to the right. (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. Locate and Choose/highlight/load the desired .asl file(s) (.asl file=layer styles extension) into your Photoshop Styles Tool Palette 7. Apply to your layer with one click! .pat file: Use the same instructions above but insert into your Photoshop patterns folder location. Use pattern to fill or stroke an image, etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Folder name] july_ruby [File name] birthsb_ruby_gem_border_extra_if_needed.png birthstbling_ruby_border_01.png birthstbling_ruby_border_02.png birthstbling_ruby_cancer_header.png birthstbling_ruby_CHARM.png birthstbling_ruby_divider_bar_01.png birthstbling_ruby_divider_bar_02.png birthstbling_ruby_fractalartist01.asl birthstbling_ruby_fractalartist01.pat birthstbling_ruby_gem_01.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_010.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_011.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_02.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_03.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_04.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_05.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_06.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_07.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_08.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_09.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_12.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_13.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_14.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_15.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_16.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_17.png birthstbling_ruby_gem_18.png birthstbling_ruby_picture_frame.png birthstbling_ruby_wallpaper.png birthstbling_ruby_wordart_header.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_01.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_010.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_011.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_012.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_02.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_03.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_04.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_05.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_06.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_07.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_08.png birthstonebling_ruby_tile_09.png Total number of folders = 1 Total number of files = 42 [Folder name] Documentation [File name] birthstbling_ruby_readme.txt Renderosity_License.txt Total number of folders = 1 Total number of files = 2 Grand Total Folders: 2 Grand total files: 44 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright notice: You CAN use these styles to create/style any NEW personal or commercial works.
