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!
