Curtain Tutorial

1. Open a new canvas - 150x200. Go to Effects/Neu/Lieber Honig and apply the settings as shown.
2. Right click in your image, select all, right click again and convert to object. Go to Edit/Fill/Image fill with image of your choice or use mine and click ok. Right click again - Properties - change merge option to Multiply and click ok. You can see how it looks on the right. You will notice that sides are too dark. We are going to fix it in next step.
3. Go to Format/Tone Map and change the settings to: Highlight=8; Midtone=17; Shadow=17. Click ok. Save your image in your favorite folder.
4. Open a new canvas 400x400. With Path drawing tool, shape=rectangle, mode=2D draw a rectangle 110x304. Click on Material icon and in Color/Texture box click on file and navigate to your saved file. At this point in the Options box you can choice Tile or Fit to image - what you like more. With your object selected change Path drawing tool to Path edit tool, click on Toggle and then on Add point. Add several points on the bottom edge of the rectangle - I am adding 6. Change for Pick point and select first little line of bottom edge - click on convert line to a curve . Do the same with all other lines. You can do it in another way too, without using Path editing tool. Pick up eraser tool, with shape 10 erase a small vawy line at the bottom.
5. Duplicate your object and move to other side of canvas. With Path drawing tool with the same settings draw a long narrow rectangle. Mine is 382x48. Do all the same as with previous object, only here you need to tile image to the object.
6. Arrange all three objects as you wish - add a window or what else and that's it.
