STEP 1
For this shelf, I'm using the Finished Wood pattern provided with PSP. You can use this one, or another of you own choosing. Note, however, that the darkening techniques I used work for the Finished Wood pattern - they may need to be adjusted if you use other wood patterns.
Set the foreground style to pattern and select your wood pattern, Scale = 50%, Angle = 0 (grain across). Set the background style to solid, and color to white.
Open the wallorganizer.psp image. Duplicate the image and close the original. Don't panic - all the selections are there - you just can't see them yet!
Add a new raster layer, naming it "topback". Load the topback selection from the alpha channel, Flood Fill with your wood pattern, and apply the following inner bevel:
Bevel (2nd one, top row), Width (6), Smoothness (40), Depth (4), Ambience (4),
Shininess (0), Color (white), Angle (180), Intensity (37), Elevation (40)
Deselect and save!
STEP 2
Add a new raster layer, naming it "leftside". Load the leftside-topfront selection from the alpha channel. Change the Angle of the foreground pattern to 90 (grain up and down). Flood Fill with your wood pattern, and darken by choosing Colors...Adjust...Brightness/Contrast with Brightness = -20 (minus 20) and Contrast = 0. Deselect.
Note: We will be using this technique to darken the wood repeatedly throughout this tutorial. Future references will just say "darken as before", and will not repeat the path!
On the same layer, load the leftside selection from the alpha channel, Flood Fill with the wood pattern, and darken as before, same settings.
On the same layer, load the leftside-topback selection from the alpha channel, Flood Fill with the wood pattern, and darken as before, this time changing the Brightness to -50 (minus 50).
Finally, still on the same layer, load the leftside-edge selection from the alpha channel, Flood Fill with the wood pattern, and darken as before, changing Brightness back to -20 (minus 20). Then apply the following inner bevel:
Bevel (2nd one, top row), Width (6), Smoothness (40), Depth (7), Ambience (4),
Shininess (0), Color (white), Angle (180), Intensity (65), Elevation (40)
Deselect. Duplicate this layer, mirror, and rename the duplicate layer "rightside".
Save your work!
STEP 3
Add a new raster layer, naming it "shelves". Load the shelves selection from the alpha channel. Change the Angle of the foreground pattern to 0 (grain across), and Flood Fill the shelves. Darken as before, same settings.
Deselect and save your work!
STEP 4
Add a new raster layer, naming it "smalldividers-sides". Load the smalldividers-sides selection from the alpha channel. Change the Angle of the foreground pattern to 90 (grain up and down), and Flood Fill the selection. Darken as before, changing Brightness to -40 (minus 40).
Deselect and save!
STEP 5
Add a new raster layer, naming it "dividers-sides". Load the dividers-sides selection from the alpha channel and Flood Fill with the wood pattern. Darken as before, same settings.
Deselect and save your work!
STEP 6
Add a new raster layer, naming it "shelfedges". Load the shelfedges selection from the alpha channel. Change the Angle of the foreground pattern to 0 (grain across), and Flood Fill with the wood pattern. Apply the following inner bevel:
Bevel (2nd one, top row), Width (6), Smoothness (40), Depth (7), Ambience (4),
Shininess (0), Color (white), Angle (0), Intensity (42), Elevation (47)
Apply the following drop shadow:
Vertical offset (6), Horizontal offset (0), Opacity (80), Blur (35.8), Shadow color (black)
Repeat the drop shadow.
Deselect and save your work!
STEP 7
Add a new raster layer, naming it "drawer". Load the drawer selection from the alpha channel and Flood Fill with the wood pattern. Float the selection and apply the following cutout:
Vertical offset (0), Horizontal offset (0), Opacity (100), Blur (11.3), Shadow color (black)
On the same layer, load the drawertrim selection from the alpha channel. Change the Angle of the foreground pattern to 90 (grain up and down), and Flood Fill with the wood pattern. Darken as before, changing Brightness to -50 (minus 50).
Deselect and save!
STEP 8
Add a new raster layer, naming it "knob". Load the knob selection from the alpha channel. Flood Fill with white, and apply the following inner bevel:
Bevel (3rd one, top row), Width (1), Smoothness (100), Depth (24), Ambience (-42),
Shininess (31), Color (white), Angle (315), Intensity (50), Elevation (60)
Contract the selection by 6 and Flood Fill with white again. Apply some gold for the screw - I used Super BladePro, with the gold furnace preset, but you can use any gold pattern or SBP preset you want.
Deselect. Apply the following drop shadow:
Vertical offset (2), Horizontal offset (2), Opacity (87), Blur (9.9), Shadow color (black)
Save your work!
STEP 9
Add a new raster layer, naming it "dividers". Load the dividers selection from the alpha channel, Flood Fill with your wood pattern, and darken as before, changing the Brightness to -20 (minus 20). Then apply the same inner bevel as in Step 2.
Deselect and save!
STEP 10
Add a new raster layer, naming it "smalldividers-fronts". Load the smalldividers-fronts selection from the alpha channel. Flood Fill with the wood pattern, and darken as before, and apply the same inner bevel as in Step 2.
Deselect and save!
And that's it - you're done! Merge all visible layers except the white layer, which can be deleted, and tube. Then it's time to decorate! Have fun with your wall organizer! Don't forget to sharpen if you resize.
