Start with something simple but I can see there are lots of possibilities to explore ... Tony, I was revisiting your image and the bevel effect caught my attention. Which one did you use? Quite interesting. That was one of the Jodi bevels I got years ago along with her frames. I think I used this one as it came but I do also adjust them from time to time which is easy to do in PS CC. |

Thanks, ritage . This is definitely a fun technique. Like the new variation Frank posted in regard to the leading. May have to try this again when I have more time. fotofrank....  |

We are going to create this stained-glass effect as a template that you can use on any image. After you create it just save it as a PSD or TIFF and you have your template. . . . and this template has been fuelling my addiction. It has been tweaked and changed into a triptych.
- Applied the Color blending mode (25% Opacity).
- Applied my Stained Glass texture (Multiply blending mode, 75%).

Bailey - Thanks for joining. I agree it has the chicken wire look as the edge of the image defines that you appeared to wrap it with wire. no problem, as I mentioned at the start, this affect has reeled me in |

Hi PeterB, I like your image. It seems you used a smaller stained glass cell size which helps a lot in taking away the "chicken wire look" I was getting earlier in my image. So I am now trying a stained glass panel with a smaller cell size within the original stained glass panel. This has taken away a lot of the chicken wire look and is getting closer to what I would like. Still needs some more tweaking though.  |

You don't have to use "squares" when you create the glass patterns. Frank, your wish is my command. I love this new tweaking you came up with! It takes this effect/template to another level.
- Applied the Color blending mode (25% Opacity).
- Applied my Stained Glass texture (Multiply blending mode, 100% Opacity).

So not only are you getting the Creative Effects Challenge a little early - it's one that will create a template that you can use over and over again. We are going to create this stained-glass effect as a template that you can use on any image. After you create it just save it as a PSD or TIFF and you have your template. Hi fotofrank, I have run out of A3+ sized paper here at home so I set up my template for A3 paper. Since A3 = 2 x A4, my A3 template is also an A4 template. So just a quick reminder for anyone who is thinking of printing their final result, set up your template for the paper size you will be printing on at the very start of your project. And if you're likely to print on paper sizes of different aspect ratios, you will most likely need a template for each paper size. Also, btw, the wrapping of wire look you mentioned in an earlier post, I am leaving in at the moment as per my earlier image since it can also look like the lead from the leading has been pressed into the wider border lead. I still have some more tweaking to do to get it and the rest of the image look right before printing it. |

This is version 2, but still has the "looking through chicken wire" feel  Yep, and yet while not the "intended" effect, I like it somehow. Thanks for sharing your efforts! |

Thank you Tom, If I can get the background to look like it's in the same (or very close to the same) vertical plane as the leading then it would look more realistic as a stain glass window. The latest version with the bird (photo of a kite in the sky) helps to make the image flatter and take away the looking through chicken wire effect. I'll keep tweaking and hopefully get something I will be happy to print |

 Phew. Guess I don't need to update my version of Elements after all. |

Accidental, not intentional, Frank. Attempt no.2. The image was one I did on 'pictures to patterns' tutorial.  |

Hi, I've just discovered the step by step instructions to make a stained glass template. It's really great, step by step is better than YouTube, as you can work at your own pace. I've just tried it out and attach my humble effort.  |
