Re: Contest 122: Let the lava flow
That's EXACTLY what I wanted to know Steve; however, when you say "fill" with chrome, I was of the understanding that one could onlly "fill" withe one colour. So what I really, really want to know is how do I fill it with chrome effect, or what appears to be my own shading? As always my gratitude to you--Michael Steve Caplin: getting me up one rung at a time. |

Re: Contest 122: Let the lava flow
Thanks for the comments, Steve. To continue with Michael's thought; It is easy to delete an elliptical selection from the top of a cylinder but I found no easy way to modify the bottom edge. For example; Slightly changing the shape of one ellipse to another. ( on the bottom of a cylinder ) |

Steve, sorry, I didn't make my query very clear, it's the curve at the base that I was asking about. How do you get it to be as shown in the picture? rufus ![]() |

Re: Contest 122: Let the lava flow
Steve, Thanks for your comments. Yes, I used the plastic wrap on that base ![]() Tom, Loved your tutorial Tried it out and love the effect. Thanks! Rufus. To get the curved look on the bottom, you just need a little shading. The way I would do it is this After you erase the bottom with the ellipse marquee, nudge the marquee up a little. Then feather the marquee some to soften the selection. Next, on a new layer select edit>stroke, and stroke the marquee with gray to black at 50% opacity. Ctrl Click to select the original object and clean up the bottom, and erase the top portion of the marquee that you don't need. See below. ![]() |
