PhotoLine Tip 26: Pillars in PhotoLine 32
 
1. We need a blend mask. You should create a grey picture 80x200 pixel.  
 
2. Now take the blend tool from the toolbar and setup a linear blend from black to middle grey. 
  
3. Now draw a horizontal line from the left (position 0) to about 1/3 of the picture width (position 30). 

4. Half of the blend is ready now. Now activate the rectangle lasso and draw a rectangle on the right side of the image. 
 

5. Select the blend tool again and draw a blend on the right side in the other direction. Click on the right border first (positon 79) and then on the end of the first blend (position 30). 
 

6. This blend is the base for the pillars we will make. You should now save the blend in TIF-format. 

7. Now create a color image. RGB 80x200 Pixel. 

8. Select Tools/Mask/Load und load the blend from before. 

9. Select Tools/Mask/Invert. 

10. So the preparation is ready. Now select the fill tool from the toolbar and fill the image with any color you like.
