Adding The Bench Designs
____________________________________________________________________________________
13.) Go to Selections/Load From Disk/seat_design-ec.sel and flood fill
with checked pattern set it small enough that it has two rows of
checks in design area.
14.) You may omit the rest of the designs if you like.
Find an image that you like a tube would be best copy and paste as
new layer.
15.) Resize to the width of the seat uncheck all layers first, using the
deformation tool shape it between the two design stripes.
16.) Add new raster layer name it front design.
17.) Find a ding bat or font design you like and make one on the left front
and repeat it on the right front. I used Fleurons ceC.
18.) Add new raster layer and name it back design make smaller designs
across the back by making one and then duplicating the layer and
mirror it and use the mover tool to position them across the back.
Merge the back design layers visible and rename the merged layer
back design. Also use the Image/Rotate right by 12 all layers NOT
checked to fit them on the back. I use the font Fleurons c or C.
19.) You can also add a new raster layer and name it arm design and use
a different design for it then duplicate the layer and mirror it also
and use the mover tool to position them. I used the font Fleurons e.
20.) Save it as a tube, a gif or put a background behind it,
that's it your done, LOL!
