To create this Set you will need:

A tube and a Close-up

I used art by Keith Garvey

Tubes and License available from PTE

 

Tramages - The Stump 2

Greg's Factory Output II - Pool Shadow

Filter Factory A - Pool Shadow

(Yes, I know that I could have used just one of these, but I couldn't get

the Settings right for the second part of the Tag - Humor me, ok?)

Eye Candy 5 - Impact - Perspective Shadow

 

Ready?

Let's Begin!

 

Choose black or a very dark color from your Tube for FG

Choose a medium color for your BG

Make this Gradient

New Image - 600x250

Fill with your Gradient

 

Tramages - The Stump 2

 

Copy your Close-up and paste as a New Layer

Place as desired and change the Blend mode to your Liking

I used screen on the top example and Overlay for the second one

Pull down the Opacity a little bit

 

Crop your Tag

 

Duplicate this Layer Twice for a Total of Three Layers

Starting with the Top one

Greg's Factory Output II - Pool Shadow

For the Middle Layer change the Top Diagonal Setting to 96

For the Bottom Layer change the Top Diagonal Setting to 103

Hide the Bottom Two Layers for now

 

Highlight the Top Layer

Copy your Tube and Paste as a New Layer

Position as desired

Eye Candy 5 - Impact - Perspective Shadow

Crop your Tag again

 

Make sure your Tube Layer is Highlighted

Filter Factory A - Pool Shadow

You might want to move the Shadow Intensity slider

Up or down a bit so you are not obscuring the

Part of the Tube you want to show - Just watch the preview window

 

New Layer - Send to Top

Fill with Dark color

Select All - Contract 3 - Delete

Expand 1 - Invert

Fill selection with light color

Deselect
