I think everyone's noticed that Arwen's posted a tutorial on how she did the new layout manipulation thing.. THANKYOU Arwen; it's really going to help :D

link to it:: http://arwen-undomiel.com/misc/tutorial_manip.html

I just have question for uhmm well anyone who can answer it.. does Photoshop have the "Hot Wax Coating" effect? If it does, I can't seem to find it... :confuzzled:

Yay!! :D It looks really...long and er...possibly complicated but I will surely have a go. The results are fantastic, so I don't care how long it takes. :-)

Well, I do have Photoshop...I just haven't had time to play around much with it yet...but briefly, it seems like the closest I could get to the hot wax coating was the Accented Edges effect under Brush Strokes, just with the brightness set to 2 and the smoothness set to 12. It doesn't have the exact-exact effect of the hot wax coating (not as shiny :confuzzled: ) but it's pretty close. The Poster Edges effect, depending on the settings, could work vaguely well, too!

I cant waiot to try it, prolly wont turn out cause i dont have PS. BUt does anyone know what the font was? i think i downloaded it but i cant remember what it was called?

OKay i tried the tut. and this is what i got out of it. i didnt have the soul wax effect and i didnt add a background, because i coudlnt rezise the background!

BTW Arwen for the main page of A-U what picture of live tyler did you start out with? and where did you find the dead piece that she is wearing at?

Hehe. Well...it's not as gorgeous as Arwen's stuff of course...but here is my Ed/Eragon manip.

Image

I'm too lazy to get the picsw I used...but one was a screencap i took of the mountains in the background, one was a pic of Ed (the face and hair) becuz he looked so perfect and ish and I loved it (not very Eragonish...but it still looks okay), and the third pic I used was just a random one of Eragon that I took the body from...so yeah.


Thanks again for this tutorial Arwen! It rocks!

Thanks! Honestly, I had no idea the layout was a manip at first *smacks forehead* :-D I guess I should have figured out by how unebelievably gorgeous it looked. I was like... 'wow...when was the scene with Arwen in the snow?' haha. i am a bit slow sometimes.
