Hello! This is the first tutorial I have ever really written, so please bear with me. For this tutorial you will need THE SIMPLE PLUGIN FILTER and FM TILE TOOLS PLUG IN FILTER . You will also need the 3DBARMASK

First make 2 copies of your original image, ctrl + D. Close your original image. Here is the one I will be using, please save it to your hard drive if you would like to use it.

Ok, now resize one of the images to 1034 x 276.

(Same height as original)

Click on "Effects/Blur/Glaussian Blur of 6.00"

Now go to "Effects/Geometric Effects/Twirl of 720"

You will need the Simple Filter Plug-In and FM Tools Plug-In for these next 2 steps.

Click on "Effects/Plug-In Filters/Simple/4 Way Average"

Click on "Effects/Plug-In Filters/FM Tools/Seamless"

This is now what your image should look like.

Take your 2nd image and click on "Masks/Load From Disk" and select the 3dbar.msk.

Go back to "Mask/Invert" then "Mask/Delete" . It will ask you "Would you like this mask merged into current layer?". Click on Yes.

Now click on "Edit/Copy" and then go to your first image and click on "Edit/Paste/As A New Layer".

Move it all the way to the left making sure it is even.

Click on "Effects/Plug-In Filters/FM Tools/Seamless".

I played around with the layer opacity, you can leave it as is. I lowered it to 70.

"Merge/Flatten".

Here is the finished Image.

I hope you have enjoyed this little tut!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me......:o)))

Now, back to Fantasy Realm.
