Making A Country Bed
Ruffles: Page 1

For the PSP7 classes, the ruffles are optional.  This would be a good time to explain that this tutorial was born because Miss Wolffie wanted a bed tutorial.  So I made her suffer and practice with what I was writing.  She came up with a no frills version of the bed which will be fine for the students in the PSP7 classes.  So thank Miss Wolffie for the no frills version!

Click on the front ruffle layer to make it active.  Copy and paste it as a New Image.  Set your styles up with the sheet Solid Color as the top swatch, the comforter pattern as the bottom swatch.  The pattern should still be set at 50 from doing the comforter edge line.

Click on the Preset Shapes, Rounded Rectangle with the settings shown below.

Draw a rectangle on your ruffle piece as shown below.
The Node Edit tool should be active.  If it isn't, click on it.

Hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard.  Move the cursor to either the top left box or the top right box.  Push inward.  Now hold down the Shift key on the keyboard.  With the cursor on the top left box, push over to the right.  Your ruffle pleat should be laying on the angle of the ruffle layer piece now.  If not, play while holding down the Shift key and adjust just one corner at a time.

Once your pleat is adjusted, convert to a Raster Layer.
Effects/Sharpen/Unsharp Mask.  Use the settings from below.

Copy and paste the pleat as 3 more new layers.
Separate/Space them as shown below.
