Original Post From: Group: Gypsy Jewels Now known as Mslauralou Date: Sun, May 20, 2001 From: ~ BW ~ How I Made A Doll License PlateI chose to use a doll that was reclining, so I had to re-do the first tutorial, First, I got the address for the 300X200 clear gif: Clear gif Then I went to Image Magick Delete what is in the "Highlighted Box". Then put in the "Addy" of the clear gif. Hit View On the next page, scroll down until you Highlight your Clear gif with a yellow square, that way you will know that it is really there :)) Go back up to the top of the page and Hit Composite On the next page, scroll down and Delete what is in the "Highlighted Box" Then put the "Addy" of your License Plate into the Highlighted box This is the plate I chose:  To Place your license plate on the Clear gif, Click on the Gravity Box and then Click on South, then Click on the Location Box and put in +0+0 If it is not already in the box, Now Hit the Composite Box that is under the Gravity Box On the next page you should see your License Plate on the Clear gif. At the top of the page, click on Composite On the next screen, scroll down to the "Highlighted Box" and put in the "Addy" of your Doll in the box This is the doll I chose:  To place your Doll on the License Plate, Click on the Gravity Box and then Click on NorthWest, Click on the Location Box and put in +50+38. Now Hit the Composite Key that is under the Gravity Box On the next page, you should see your License Plate and Doll on the Clear gif, scroll Up to the Top of the Page and Hit "Output". Now scroll down the Page and Select gif in the "Format Box", Continue to scroll down and Select "Single File", Then Hit the "Output Box" at the bottom of the Page Now on your next page, scroll down and Click on your "Highlighted Image" of the License Plate and Doll. The next screen should show your Image on a Black Background, This is what I ended up with:  As you can see, there is a lot of wasted space above the doll. Transload this to your files Get the address to the new image and head to Gifworks On the next page, you should be at the site of "Gifworks" (Note Make Sure that the Gifworks Info shows up in the Info Bar at the bottom of the page, If Not, Hit Cmd R 2 or 3 times until the Info shows up. You will not be able to use the "Gifworks" site to start and finish your Image, If the Info Bar is Blank) Click on "File" at the Top Left-Hand corner of the screen, Then Click on "Open Image", Then scroll down the page and Delete what is in the "Highlighted Bar" and put your "Addy" of your License Plate and Doll Image into the Highlighted Box, Then Click on "Fetch Image" On the next page, Click on the "Edit Key", Then scroll down and Click on the "Smart Crop Key" On the next page, Click on the "Edit Key" again and then scroll down and Click on the "Insert Text Key" On the next screen, Click on your Color (I chose the darkest blue), the Font (Mine was Times), the Point Size (I used 18), the Style (I used bold Italics) of your Font, Erase what is in the "Text Box" and Type in your Name Next scroll down to your Image, and you should see that your Image is Highlighted with a Square Yellow Box, Click on your Image and the Arrow should go to the middle of your Image. If you like where the Arrow is going to place your Name, then Hit your "Return Key", If not, use your own "Arrow Keys" on your Keyboard to move the Arrow on your Image and place your Name where you would like it to be on your Image Now if you DO NOT like the Color of your Name, or where you have placed your Name, Hit your "Recent Key" and Click on the "Enter Text" that as a picture showing, you will be able to do this at least 4 or 5 times, to try and get your Name where you would like it to be, The next screen should show your finished Image with your Name Click on the "File Key", then Click on the "Save Key" On the next screen, scroll down to the bottom, where it say's "WebTV User's" Click on "Click Here", On the next screen, It should show your Image on a Black Background, Transload to your Server. Here is my finished plate:  |
