Description:
The Matte 1 Template is 2300x2700 pixels at 200 ppi overall and was created using PWP transforms and tools. It is suitable for a 6"x8" ratio display image of 1200x1600 pixels at 200 ppi. With the template, masks, and PWP transforms, a variety of actions can be performed:
Changing Template Brightness & Contrast:
Adding Color to the Matte:
Changing Color of the Bevels:
Adding the Display Image:
Crop the Matte to Desired Size:
Changing the Template's Outer Dimensions:If PWP's Resize transform is used to change the template's outer dimensions, the W/H proportions of the outer Bevel inward will be altered. If an outer dimension ratio, for example 1:1.5, is desired, it is best to Crop with the existing dimensions, i.e., 2300x2700 to 1800x2700 [1:1.5] or use the Tile transform and then Crop to expand from 2300x2700 to 2300x3450 [1:1.5]. While there is some texture [2%] in the matte's flat areas, the Tile transform will seamlessly match any expansion joins. The deciding factor for the outer dimensions is the narrowest border desired past the outer Bevel and then change outer template dimensions accordingly. The template as downloaded is scaled to 200 ppi and has 2" borders [400 pixels] around the outer Bevel. Reminder.... any modifications to the template, have to be done to the masks so that they will register.
Additional Considerations:With creative modifications of the masks and PWP's transforms, one could separately change the colors and texture of the matte's two large flat surfaces.
