For this tutorial you
will need: Corel Paint Shop Pro (or Jasc previous versions) I've done this tutorial in PSP 9 and PSP XI. I believe it can be done in most versions. You may have to look around for the commands but it's likely they are there.  Filters and materials needed Funhouse - ZigZaggerate and Xaggerate FM Tile tools - Blend Emboss Simple - Four Way Average Graphic Plus - Cross Shadow Supplies in zip file here http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/don't-love-one-psp-material.zip The supplies contain pspimage files. If your version doesn't support them, download the Photoshop version. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/don't-love-one-pi-ps-material.zip It contains psd files that any program can use, instead of .pspimage files. It also contains the words on a transparent layer instead of the brush if you can't use .pspbrush files, and a properly sized canvas with the gradient already on it if you can't use the .pspgradient. The material has been prepared so that you can open it with different versions of the program. I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located. My filter windows may look different from yours as I use Filters Unlimited 2 to manage my filters. |
| Put the rainbow gradient in your gradient folder Put the brush in your brush folder You may have to go to File>Import>Custom Brush to add it to the list. In the import window click on open and browse to where the brush is, then click Add to add it to the right pane, if it says it already exists, just change the name then click the add button. Now click ok.  |
| 1. Open new canvas 640X480 Change your color palette to gradient, find your rainbow gradient. linear angle 315, repeats 5, invert checked, fill your canvas  |
2. Fill your canvas with the gradient. Go to Adjust>Blur>Gaussian blur set at 45. It should look like this now.  |
3. Effects>Funhouse - ZigZaggerate at default of 60-60  Effects>Simple - 4way average  Effects>Edge Effects>Enhance more Adjust>Sharpness>Sharpen  Effect>Graphic Plus - Cross-Shadow-default except for Vertical and Intensity 35 and Brightness on 67   If you are using Filters Unlimited (a filter manager) as I do, if you hold the Alt key down while clicking Apply you can do multiple filters without it closing down between each one. |
