Hopefully I can explain this right. There are many flairs that come in kits that I would love to print out for regular scrapbooking use instead of digital use. However, a lot of them have that shine/reflection on them to make them look more realistic but when printing it doesn't always look so good. Does anyone have an easy way I can remove or lessen the shine or reflection? Some I can do content aware in PS but the ones that are really detailed it's difficult. I tried searching in the forms before posting and couldn't find anything relating this but if I've missed it a link would be great. TIA
Well, I was thinking of lowering the opacity, but I just brought up one of my layouts with a definite flair on it and tried the lower opacity----it takes away the shine, but also takes away the affects of what the flair is for---so not sure this would be the way to go. Will be curious to see what others say.
I can't speak for other designers but I've been contacted before and asked if I could share the un-flaired flair for exactly this reason and, wherever possible, I've always been happy to comply. Doesn't hurt to email the designers in question (or start a conversation with them here) and ask.
and on some flairs, if you look at the pattern papers in the kits, many are right from the pattern...so you could cut your own circle and bevel to your hearts content?
You're doing better than I am; it never even occurred to me to include them. I'm happy to provide them upon request though, and will try to remember to provide them up front in the future.
And I am so grateful to you and every other designer who does this!! For the most I don't really like using elements with shine on them on my page, so I opt for the flat version whenever it's available!
