Making Alpha Embellishments

By Wendy Williams  ·  June 11th, 2008

Alpha Embellishments are not too difficult to do but it does take some time to make them for all the individual letters of the alphabet, so I decided to see if I could come up with a quicker way

    Why are most of Wendy’s tut’s not available in PDF files?

    This one on alpha-embellishments takes TEN pages to print… I love the detail, just what I needed but with 22 of them sitting at the bottom of my screen, at MANY pages each…
    it’s a lot. Especially since they are things we’ll only do here and there…

    I did print oodles of articles on PSE functions — but hoped to save these and read them on the notebook as I tried to create.

    For now, I’ll save under the favorites but I guess I will have to print them all out. Yikes!

    p.s. Just learned I can draw a LINE in PSE. I’ve been making a box and then cropping the thinnest line possible… see how creative novices can be (and how stupid)? I really thought it was either a hand/mouse drawn not-so-straight line OR I had to create one… .grin!

    Just a thought… the other Wendy

    I needed to simplify the text layers before I could move anything. I wonder if creating the alphas is using a mask (the template layer). Anyway, it’s a very good result. Enjoyed this tutorial.

    These tutorials can be Selected, (File: Select All,) Copied, and Pasted into Microsoft Word. Then just save them as: PDF files for future use.
