Adjustable Heart Outline

[cristasview Profile]

i would love to have a heart outline that can be scaled and repositioned over the image I am editing. There is a great one from the community, but it's not adjustable.

Which one is it Crista? I can see if I can make it scalable.

Whew! had to scroll through every page because they don't show up under a Heart search. I thought there was one that was a nice white heart, with a "feminine" scroll kind of style of heart, but can't find it, or it was with another program, which I think is unlikely since I use this program so much! What I'm trying to do is use a heart outline to place across the belly of maternity photos, newborns, close up photos of bride and grooms wedding rings. Otherwise I will try again to create an overlay to use in Photoshop if need be.

There is also one called Magnify that I love but wish it could be scaled or repositioned as well.

Thanks!

Hi Crista,

If you are familiar with the effect editor, you can replace the 'Merge' node, with a 'Place and Merge' node, i've attached an image that makes the process more visible if you like.

With the Place and Merge node you are able to scale and move the heart-layer.

I will create some new heart effects in the meanwhile that are scale and movable.


Hope this will help you for now.

Hi Crista,

I've uploaded some new heart shaped effects and created in a way you suggested.

See my post here for more info.

Sorry about the delay in saying THANKS! Have been out of town and busy with back to back photo shoots - but YEAH, these will definitely help!

You are the best!

Anything considered appreciated, should also be let know it's appreciated. Besides, I may have more inspirations for hearts and other shapes as future effects, and I want to be sure to keep you on my good side until I can slow down and focus on your tips to creating my own effects - which will allow me to share back with the community in the upcoming months - one of my New Year's goals!

Looking forward to see your effects, anything I could help, let me know.

I started with editing existing effect I liked, to see how they where created, they inspired me to create my own.

Success with creating effects in the upcoming year, good goal!
