Photoshop Candy Cane Gourmet Series
I remember a child read a fairy tale, almost all have forgotten the specific details, only vaguely remember the brother and sister went to the forest, encountered a witch's cottage, all with cakes and candies, mouth-watering for them! Today, we have to do some delicious candy cane, but do not witch's wand, but with our Photoshop.
1. In Photoshop, create a new document, size 600 ? 300 pixels, a resolution of 72 pixels / inch, white background. Select the appropriate font, black text written on in the background. Think about the way candy cane, you is not difficult to select the font used: smooth edges, font thick, and there is no complicated shape. Here, I use the font is VAG Rounded BT, size between 280 to 320pt. I put each letter in a separate layer for easy adjustment of deformation. If necessary, the text layers rasterized, distort and perspective of the deformation processing. Satisfied, he will put together the text layer and background layer. (Figure 01)

2. Go to channel panel, because our image has no color information, so red, green and blue channels should be exactly the same. Free copy of a channel, the copy of the channel changed its name to orig, so inverting the channel processing. (Figure 02)

3. Back to RGB channel, reset palette, filled with a white background layer. In the background on the new layer, named the candy cane, with a white fill. Set the foreground color to RGB (204,0,0), select the image> rotate canvas 90 degrees clockwise to the document; select sketch filter> halftone pattern, size set to 9, the largest contrast, pattern type selection straight line; then a rotating canvas command, the document rotated 90 degrees, back to normal. Select shear distortion filter in order, in the shear dialog box, set the line shape shown in Figure 03a, the undefined region set to turn back. (Figure 03b)

4. Loading channel orig constituency, with the shrink command, the constituency shrink 2 pixels, then emergence order fuzzy electoral boundaries, with a radius of 6 pixels, anti-selection; then the foreground color set to a kind of deep red, such as RGB (102,0,0), twice continuously filled with the foreground color constituency, deselect. (Figure 04a, 04b)

Figure 04b
Here the red is the color of candy cane, you can also replace other own their love of color.
5. In the candy cane on top of the new floor level, named as highlights 1, with a white fill layer. Loading Channel orig constituency, constituency contraction 4 pixels, the palette reduction, fill electoral districts with black Deselect. Implementation of the Gaussian blur command, with a radius of 8 pixels; included in any of the RGB channels, RP chosen by displacement command, the horizontal and vertical values are set to -8, undefined area to turn back (Note: this point displacement command is not available to replace the mobile), de-select (Figure 05a). Gaussian blur filter with a little fuzzy, with a radius of 2.0 pixels; with the style of> relief ordered the formation of three-dimensional effect, set the angle 135, height is 4 pixels, the number of 150%; by further blurring the command, the picture blurred, then adjust the screen with a curve command, set the curve shown in Figure 05b, when the image shown in Figure 05c; loading channel orig constituency, slightly shrinking constituency, shrinkage of 1 pixel, emergence constituency, with a radius of 2 pixels , anti-election deletion deselect. Mixed layer and then set the screen, will reduce the layer opacity to 60% completion of the first high-light effects, this story is the role of light for the image to add three-dimensional effect. (Figure 05d, 05e)

6. Will merge down the layer highlights 1, load channel orig constituency, constituency eclosion, with a radius of 8 pixels, use anti-election in levels, the gray value is set to 0.51, de-select. (Figure 06)

7. Copy channel orig, would be renamed copy of the channel highlights, implementation of the Filter> Other> displacement command, set the horizontal and vertical pixel values each -2, undefined area to turn back. Loading Channel orig constituency, anti-black filled after the election, de-select; and then apply a displacement filter, the set of horizontal and vertical pixel values are -6, undefined area to turn back, load the channel orig constituency, will After filling the black constituency deselect; this time, we will then shift filters down and move to the right of white pixels 8 pixels, undefined area to turn back; loading channel orig constituency, contracted by 2 pixels, anti-election After filling the black, deselect. This channel highlights the white areas are included in the channel is entirely white areas within the orig. We need to further reduce the channel in the white areas, mainly the outer part. First with a radius of 2.0 pixel Gaussian blur processing channel, and then use Levels to adjust the input color scale can be set to 100,1.00,150. (Figure 07)

8. Constituencies the current channel set to return to RGB channels in the layer panel, the candy cane layer on top of a new layer highlights, with a white fill electoral districts deselect. Will reduce the layer opacity to 45% Merge down layers. In this way, three-dimensional candy cane effect has been further strengthened. (Figure 08a, 08b)

9. Loading channel orig constituency, after anti-election delete, deselect. Double-click the layer into the layer style: Choose a transparent style, set the shadow color is RGB (102,0,0), opacity 100%, 135 degree angle, use global light, distance of 9 pixels, extension 0, size is 16 pixels, the rest in accordance with the default settings; choices luminous style, the mixed-mode is set to normal, opacity 50%, variegated 0, luminous color of RGB (153,0,0), a more flexible method , extended to 0, the size of 5 pixels, the range of 100%. (Figure 09a, 09b)

10. Now we want the projection of the candy for further processing, but there are layer styles in, we need to separate layer styles separate, so that it no longer exists attachment layer. Right-click the layer effect, in the pop-up menu, choose Create Layers command, then you will see in the Layers panel, in addition to candy cane and background layer, the addition of two layers, namely “candy cane” external light and “candy cane” projection. Select “candy cane” projection layer, from the filter menu select artistic effect> of plastic packaging, set high light intensity of 20, details 15, smoothness 15; then use the fade command, opacity 100%, mode for the superposition. Select candy cane layer, the candy cane projection layer and its external layer of light-emitting layer is linked with the candy cane, and then piece together the link layer. (Figure 10a, 10b)

Then some of the candy cane has been completed, you can stop to rest. If you want to decorate it with some nice effects, then it should continue.
11. In the channel panel, copy the channel orig, copy channel named the snow, using the displacement filter, set the horizontal displacement is 0, the vertical displacement is -8 pixels, undefined area to turn back; loading channel orig constituency , after filling with black Deselect. With a radius of 6.0 pixel Gaussian blur fuzzy channel, and then in levels, the Input Levels Set 58,1.00,76, the white area within the channel expansion. (Figure 11)
Figure 11
12. Back to the RGB channel, in the Layers panel on top of the new layer, named the snow, set the foreground color to RGB (0,0,51), with this dark blue fill layer; loading channel snow to constituency electoral districts filled with white deselect. Implementation of the Gaussian blur radius 3.0, and then add a little slightly mottled effect, amount to 1.2% can, choose Gaussian and monochromatic; re-loading channel snow constituency, after anti-election removed. (Figure 12a, 12b)

13. The following layer styles to modify by adding a decorative candy cane. First select projection style, set the shadow angle of 135 degrees, use global light, distance of 3 pixels, extended to 0, the size of 3 pixels, the other in accordance with the default; method by creating a layer of snow of the projection layer separated, will the renamed as “snow” of the projection 1; choose snow layer, and then make a projection pattern, the distance of 9 pixels, extended to 0, the size of 16 pixels; re-create the layers, so that “snow” Projection separated named this “snow” of the projection 2; loading channel orig constituency, after the cancellation of options to delete unwanted shadows and reduce the current layer's opacity to 50%; select “snow” of the projector 1, the layers do not reduced to 55% transparency; Finally, in addition to the background layer in addition to link all the layers, put together the link layer on it.
