For this tutorial you will
need: Jasc or Corel PSP 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 No 3rd party filters needed, all native psp filters used Supplies in zip file here. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/faith-supplies-psp.zip Supplies in zip file here for older versions if the other ones don't work for you. These are in psd format. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/faith-supplies-psd.zip Due to copyright issues, the frame tube (the frame around the woman's face) had to be removed from the supplies, so be creative and choose your own! You know you can do it! LOL ************* From Marian The tubes which I have used are of Alejandra Rosales and several scrap tubes. * Have respect for the tubers and leaves them in their original state. Important!!! Please read carefully!!! * The scrap tubes used in this tutorial are bought by me personally. You may use these scrap tubes for this tutorial, and for your personal use. You may not offer these tubes for sale, trade, sharing, your own tutorials, or commercial purposes. Read carefully the conditions and term or the scrap designers, otherwise I will have to stop writing scrap tutorials!!! Thanks for your cooperation. ************* I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located. |
| I like to open all of my tubes at once and close as I use them. None of these tubes are used more than once. Save my tag at the top of the page and keep it open while working for reference, I find this helps a lot. Put the goldenbeads pattern in your pattern folder. Font used for tag is included in the zip file. Either install the font or double click it to open it. If you open before you open PSP it will be available to use in the program as long as you leave the font open. |

Resizing To resize, make sure, to retain the texture and the clarity, resize at 90% bicubic and repeat till you get close to the size you want. At that point you can resize by pixels as usual. You will find this makes a big difference in your final result. If you resize, use the unsharp mask or Brightness/Contrast to sharpen it a bit. Adjust>Sharpness>Unsharp mask at Radius 1, strength 60, clipping 4. or Adjust>Brightness and Contrast set to Brightness of 5-contrast of 15. |
