Create your own Web Effects
Create your own Web Effects
With a simple image/photo editor you can create your own web effects. These editors often come as software with your digital camera, or you can choose from the many that are freely available online.
Simple Web Effects
For the purpose of this exercise in creating a simple web effect I am using Paint.Net.
Step 1.
Open your photo editor, and open an image you want to select a region from. Go to the ‘Tools’ and choose the selection tool to cut out the section you require, then go to ‘edit’ and ‘cut’. Go to ‘File’ new, and open a clean white area, then right click and paste. You now save this.
In this instance I selected a section of roof tiles on a house.

Step 2.
Now open this new image and on the top toolbar go to Effects.There find ‘Distort’ and use the Tile reflection. I increased the tile size and decreased the curvature.

This of course can now be used in many ways. Just by going to ’Adjustments’ and playing with the Hue /Saturation ( I increased the saturation to 200) I ended with this result.

These images can be used in a variety of ways as background or whatever you choose. Its simple and lots of fun.
