Creating a Page Curl Effect

Monday, August 04 2008

In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a nice smooth corner page curl effect.

Need help with Windows Dedicated Hosting? Try Server Intellect. I'm a happy customer!

We start off with a plain colored layer, but you may want to add this effect to an existing image. We will make a selection like so (I used the Polygonal Lasso tool):

Next, we will delete this selected area and then make a new selection, where the page curl will be. Like so:

Now, still with the selection tool selected, right-click the selection and choose Make Work Path, tolerance can be 2. Now goto the Paths tab in the Layers panel - or if it isn't there, choose Window > Paths. Choose the Convert Point Tool under the Pen tool group in the toolbox, and then click the top point, it should look like this:

Now to make the page curl more curved, we drag the small black square on the line inside the triangle, like so:

I just signed up at Server Intellect and couldn't be more pleased with my Windows Server! Check it out and see for yourself.

Now we right-click the path in the Paths panel and choose Make Selection, no Feather Radius. We can now delete the path and go back to our Layers. Let's create a new layer and choose the gradient tool. We want to create a new gradient for our page curl - something like this:


Click to Enlarge.

Now we need to position the gradient correctly, so that it lines up with the page curl. Once we're satisfied with the positioning, it should look something like this:

To make it look even better, we could add a drop-shadow to it and also fill in the corner, so that it looks like this:

I decided it was time to confront myself.That night at home,I took off all my clothes and had a long look at the woman in the mirror.She was androgynous.Take my face - without makeup,it was a cute young boy‘s face.My shoulder muscles,arms and hands were powerful and muscular from the crutches.I had no breasts; instead,there were two prominent scars on my chest.I had a sexy flat stomach,a bubble butt and a well-developed thigh from years of ski racing.My right leg ended in another long scar just above the knee.
