Can DIP 10 do this cool effect with the picture

Is there a tut for it?
Thanks

Sure can! Load your photo onto your canvas, and make a dubplicate (crtl D). Lock each photo into placwe on the canvas individually. Now, turn one of them into B&W. Use your marquee to cut out squares of whichever layer you choose- the color or the B&W, adjusting the marquee as you go to occassionally tip the square. When you are finished, you will put the white blocks behind by whichever of several methods available- if you need instructions on fast ways to do this, just holler.

Does this answer your question? Thank you so much for bringing this LO and effect to our attention! I think i LOVE it! And of course, that means HAVE to scraplift- at least the technique! Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm so excited this will work. I may need further details though on the above- LOL- most of it!!
By locking into place- do you mean one right over the other? Then I use the marquee to make a square selection and angle it and then some I would move under the other layer to where some color are on top and some b&w. I may be really confused once I get home to play with this. I'm at work right now.

Thanks ShelleyRae- I should have known there was a tut on it. So at what point in that tut do I make some of the boxes b&w? I think I'm a little confused. I printed it out so I can follow it step by step but didn't see when to do that part. If I don't want them perfectly lined up then do I still the align part? I'm assuming not.

Hi Sherry,
If you want some black and white, just change them right before you add the white borders. No need to do the alignment part unless you want them straight. Just drag them onto the canvas and tilt/move to your liking.

I was looking at the layout you posted and I noticed that, aside from the white borders on the squares and the b/w effect, you wouldn't know that the picture had been altered at all, whereas with the tutorial, the image doesn't line up exactly. Do you know what I mean? So I played around with DIP and here is how I managed to do it.

First I opened a copy of my original photo. Then I opened another.



My next step was to insert a square shape. I did not alter the size of the square, but if you do, be sure to copy and paste that square later instead of inserting a new one, so your squares are all the same size. Place the square and tilt it until you get it set up where you want it. (When your square is highlighted, there is a little yellow circle on top of it that you can use to make it rotate.)



My next step was to go to effects>fill with texture or colour and to select the second photo I had opened under my file stack. Then you simply resize the photo in your square until it matches exactly with the original. (Just line up the marquee lines along your original photo). The easiest way is just to move your little image up to line up with the top right hand corner of the first photo (your yellow box will be your guide) and then just stretch the lower left corner until all your yellow dots are on the 4 corners of the first photo.




Now that you have your new little square with the proper bit of photo in it, you can alter it. If you want that peice of the square to be black and white, you can change it now by going to effects>black and white while your little square is still selected. Now is also the time to go to effects>edges>highlighted and choose "thin over" (the second border). After clicking "Customize the edge", I made my default shape square, set my colour to white and set my edge width at 15 (but you can play around and choose what appeals most to you).




Keep creating your squares, placing them, tilting them, altering and bordering them until you are happy with your result. Shuffle your squares around in your stack until you are happy with the layering. You can then delete the bottom photograph from your stack so you are left with an uneven edge. Select all your squares and flatten them together to create one image. You can them save as a png file or copy the finished image into your DIP layout.





Ta-daa!!

It seems tedious, but it's easy and fairly fast once you get into it. It took a lot longer to write this tutorial. Whew!

Here's the completed project. I hope this helps! You can, of course, put shadows under all the squares before you flatten them together if you want (I didn't) and you can use filters on the squares instead of just the black and white options. Have fun with it!

You can also just put a few white frames on the picture, cut off the parts of the frames that shouldn't show, lock it all together and cut off the outside part of the photo. That would only work if you don't want shadows on each part though.

ETA: Actually, if you add the shadows before you cut bits out the the frames it would work fine.
