Redux Arbor I saw this great window image at Susan's, and decided we could make something similar at IM. It takes a bit of work, but I hope you have as much fun with it as I did. SInce I used the orginal as a pattern we will use the same size. At IM make a 412x424 black xc. Go to DRAW. Choose LINE, Stroke size=2 color=white. Co-ordinates: +40+70 +200+80 Draw again - Co-ordinates: +40+350 +200+340 Draw again - Co-ordinates: +40+70 +40+350 Draw again - Co-ordinates: +200+80 +200+340 <-- SORRY! I fixed it. Draw again - but change to RECTANGLE. Fill color=white. No stroke. Co-ordinates: +285+160 +385+300 Paint inside the window using floodfill, color=white, fuzz=50,000. Output and save as a jpg. Choose a scenic image to "fill" the window and mirror. For the window - Resize to170x300! <--Use the ! For the mirror - Resize to 120x170! <--Use the ! Comp the window image WEST +35+0, MULTIPLY. Flop the image. Comp the mirror image WEST +25+10, MULTIPLY. Flop it back to original. Repeat the first 4 line draws around the window. Repeat the rectangle draw - same co-ordinates, but change to stroke color=white, size=2, NO FILL. You can skip the "hanger", if you want, but here's how. Choose LINE. Stroke size=2, color=white. 1st set co-ords: +285+160 +335+140 2nd set co-ords: +335+140 +385+160 That's the basics! Now, you can trim, resize & add whatever embellishments you'd like. Have FUN!
