An icon of Kristal with new background and text
Hello girls (I don’t think any boy exists in our club :P)
Iti is back with another lesson of icoon making. So today I will tell u how to change background of an image (while making icon) and adding texts to it. So, I will start the main problem that occurs during changing background, for beginners.
While changing background one need to know which tool is perfect. So here we start.
Steps
1. Open a picture.
2. Now click on “magic wand” and select the area u want to remove. For this u can click on “add” in the above box, where u can see which tool u selected. of directly press “cntrl + shift” and keep pressing it.
3. When you’ll select the places, press “delete” button. And the required area will get deleted.
4. Remember don’t deselect the area.
5. Now use paint brush to color the required area in any color u want.
6. You can add the shade of dark color in borders (remember in vorige artikel I told u how to do it? If not u can read it again)
7. Now u can add “soft edge dots” as I told u how, in vorige chapters.
8. If u have problem in selecting any area u can also use Lasso tool, it really helps.
