Glitter Tutorial

This might be of some help to some of you fellow glitter addicts? Sometimes when you use glitter in a canvas smaller than 3600 x 3600 it defaults back to 45% and looks less than perfect.

Tutorial is for Photoshop. I have no idea about elements sorry. But maybe you can decipher my instructions ito help you in Elements?

To adjust the size of the glitter in PSdouble click here:



Then adjust this slider to make it look 'right'

Want it to look like sprinkled glitter?

Choose a round or square brush, 25px-50px is good.



Set it to Scatter.



And also play with the size jitter & angle jitter.



Play with the spacing.



Then brush, and add glitter style to finish! Also adding a very small shadow makes it look more 3D.
