I will not remind you between each step, but please save your image often, so that you will not lose all of your hard work. Your foreground should be whatever color that you want your jar to be. If you want your jar to be pink, (as I will use in this example) the color that I used was #FCE0FC.
- Open the perfumejar.psp up on your workspace, duplicate (shift/D), close out the original, and add a new Raster Layer. Name this layer Base.
- Selections/Load from Alpha Channel the base selection.
- Flood fill the selection with your color. Selections/Float.
- Effects/3D Effects/Cutout, with the following settings: Vertical = 1, Horizontal = 5, Opacity = 80, Blur = 53.6, color = #6D446E. If you are using a different color, use a darker shade than the one that you are using.
Repeat the cutout, with Vertical = 1 and Horizontal = -5. Deselect.
- Effects/Noise/Add 5% noise.
- Effects/Plugins/Eye Candy 4000/ and use the heartjar preset.
- Add a new layer, and call it jar body. Selections/Load from Alpha Channel the Jar Body selection. Flood Fill with your color, Selections/Float, and repeat steps 4 & 5.
- Apply Eye Candy Glass, using the heartjar2 setting.
- Add a new layer, and call it neck. Layers/Arrange/Move Down, so that this layer is under the jar body.
- Selections/Load from Alpha Channel the neck selection. Flood Fill with color, Selections/Float, and repeat steps 4 & 5.
- Now apply the Eye Candy Glass again, using the heartjar setting.
- Add a new Raster Layer, name it top, and Load from Alpha Channel the top selection. Flood Fill with your color, Selections/Float, and repeat steps 4 & 5.
- Apply Eye Candy Glass using the heartjar setting.
- Add a new Raster Layer, and call it Deco. Layers/Arrange/Bring to Top.
Now we will be using the custom brushes to decorate our bottle. If you don't have many brushes, there are a lot of sites out there that offer them for download. You can do a search on Google and find a ton of them, or if you would like to browse a of good site, I can recommend this one:

Got your brushes? Lets get started! This is fun!
- Click on your Paint Brush, and then go to your Tool Options, and you will see a little paint brush on the right hand side up on the top. Click on the paint brush, and it will give you a list to choose from. Select Custom, and a box will pop up to select the brush that you want. When you have your brush, you might want to play with the size until it is what you want. Click on your bottle, and your brush will be applied, and it should still be the color of your bottle.
- Now go to Effects/3D Effects/Drop Shadow, and use these settings: Vertical and Horizontal = 1, Opacity = 100, Blur = 1, Color = #000000. Then apply the drop shadow again, but change the Vertical and Horizontal to -1, and the color to #FFFFFF. If you need to move your brush into position, use the mover tool.
- Apply the Eye Candy Glass heartjar2 setting to your brush, and apply it twice.
- If you want to add more brushes, put each on a separate layer, so that you can move them around, and repeat the drop shadows and glass. If you have added a number of brushes, turn off all of the layers except the brushes, and highlight one of the brush layers. Layers/Merge Visible. On the layer pallet, lower the opacity to 50%.
- If you want to tube this image for future use, turn on all layers, Merge Visible, and save as a tube. If you are doing this for a group project, resize according to the group specifications, and save as a jpg or gif.
Thank you for doing my tutorial, and I hope that you enjoyed it!
