Glitter Objects in Microsoft Picture It!

[Starlight~Stella]

This one is for all the Picture It! users. I made this in PI2000, but it should be close to everyone elses versions, if you know your program ;) We are making this:

First you choose a graphic.

http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp01.gif



You have to click on your graphic first, to select it. http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp02.gif




Now go to CROP OR TRIM/CREATE A CUTOUT http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp03.gif




Choose:http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp04.gif



Then click http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp05.gif



And change this number to 0, the default is 2 and sometimes that selects too much of the picture. http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp06.gif


Now click on whatever partsof the graphic you want glittered.

You can also click several colors if you want, that depends on how much glitter you want.



And for the versions that give you a choice about "leave in same project" or put in "sepearate project" always choose same! Now in your stack you should have 2 projects, one you just cut parts out of and the first one you opened. Make SURE you click on the bottom one in your stack!! http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp09.gif




You need to now go to your ILLUSIONS http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp12.gif




Near the bottom you will see Texturizer.http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp13.gif




Click on it, then click on http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp14.gif



In the next window you will find these texture options http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp15.gif



You can choose any of them you like, play around and see if you like any others better than the one I used! Choose a direction of light, this is the part that will make your "glitter" move. So you will have choose a different one of each frame. http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp16.gif



I also chose these 2 settings for the texture, again you can play around and see if you like something better http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp17.gif


Now go to FILE/SAVE AS and save your first frame as a JPEG image.


After you save, do NOT close your picture! Click the UNDO button.http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp19.gif



Now you will repeat the steps 2-3 more times. You will apply the filter again, changing the light direction each time, Save as and then UNDO, until you have 3 or 4 frames for animation. To make your animation, close everthing, then go to the Projects tab.

http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q127/bubblegumGFX/webbutton.jpg
Then click on Flipbook Animation
http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q127/bubblegumGFX/flipbook.jpg


And then select this http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp23.gif



Find your frames and open them http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp24.gif



Click through the first 2 animation windows, don't change anything, then when you get to the size, choose a size http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp25.gif



Next choose a speed (You can play around with this)http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit/glitter/2002/2002gp26.gif

And see what your glitter looks like!!

Enjoy!
