Bonjour.
Est-ce qu’on peut trouver les images utilisées dans les tutoriels ? Il n’y a pas toujours les liens, c’est dommage …
Merci.
Domi,
Yes, it is true that many of the tutorials here do not provide the source files. This is because many of the images used by artists on Shift Art are not licensed for redistribution. Our focus in our tutorials is really on concepts rather than just following a set of instructions to arrive at a identical result. I hope you will gain some useful knowledge from this and other tutorials!
Merci Andrei, et merci Gail !
Hello Gail… Well… Glad to see the written totorial… It seems to be so hard, so difficult… But I am full of a true learning hunger and I hope to succeed. Thanks a lot lot Gail, you are an amazing artist.
Thank you so much Danielle. That’s what is so great about these tutorials, watch a step hit pause and go to Photoshop and try it.
Excellent tutorial Gail, loved it. Thank you.
Your very welcome Lonnie!!
Fantastic outcome Gail! I really loved it.
Thanks Amelia!
Thank you Gail, this was inspiring! And you made it seem as if it could really be done even for those not quite up to this level.
Would you share or suggest where to get beautiful fractals?
Hi Nancy,
This can be done by beginners and also intermediate designers can get little tidbits. The fractals I used for this piece were purchased from Raw Exchange.
Thank you.
Wonderful work of art!
Thanks you so much Charles!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much Gail I am really new to photoshop but you have filled me with enthusiasm to go ahead and try. Thank you again.
You are very welcome Julie!! It’s a wonderful world in that program!!
Beautiful! I’m curious why you choose 12×18 to start.
Hi Susan,
Thanks, I just saw this now.
I like to print a 24×36 and if I start with a 12×18 at 300dpi it allows for a great large print.
Take care.
Gail
Love the tutorial, but am confused by the fractal you used. Did you make it, or have a link where they can be purchased and/or downloaded? I relatively new to compositing and am not familiar with the term.
Hi Les, Fractals are light sources usually created on a black background. When you set the blend mode to screen it knocks out the black and just shows the lights. There are programs that you can use to create your own or if you just want to test the waters you can go to Pixabay.com and do a search for fractals and you will find some really cool ones to try out. Sorry for not getting back sooner. I don’t get notifications for questions.
