I tried to duplicate the cool 3D cushion look we get on the PC using bevel,   at IM. See image at top of page.   It worked pretty well, but definitely shows up better on a white bg,  because of the shading.

Note - experienced imagers will know how to do this in one trip.

Ex on black       Ex on white


So, here we go. CCP the url for the background into your find bx.

Enother ttf       Background


CCP the url for the font.

Make a 400x400 XC, meta=none.

Annotate your name Center +0+100
Point size = 70, Scale = 1.0,1.5
FIll color = black, no stroke ( black so you can see it on the view page)


Composite the bg using ATOP. Check the tile across bx.

Annotate again, Center +0+100
Stroke only - color = # 6A2C65, size = 2


Go to EFFECTS, choose gaussian blur @ 5x5


Output & save this as a PNG. <-- must be png to keep the shading. You can dump it when you are all done. Do NOT trim. You will do that later.

CCP the url for the Umbrelly Girl into your find bx, and CCP the url for your name png.

At IM, composite the girl OVER, North +5+45. Adjust as needed for your name.

Output as a PNG, and save.

Pink Star       White Star

Then, grab a star, and your name, comp star where you'd like it.

Output one last time as a PNG, CCP the temp url.

Click the VIEW tab, and scroll to paint. Use COLOR, RESET, color = white or black. Paint the image.

Comp the temp PNG url center over.

Trim & output as a JPG.
