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 FM Tile Tools>Blend Emboss, free here (it's a trial version but blend emboss is one that keeps working) http://www.fantasticmachines.com/ Supplies in zip file here for version 8 and up includes .pspimage tubes http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/lifes-journey-psp-material.zip Supplies for older psp versions in zip file here has .psd tubes instead of pspimage. these can be opened in any program. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/lifes-journey-ps-pi-material.zip Font: SlashHmkBold ------------------------------ From Marian The tubes which I have used are of Monique42 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 of the scrap designers, otherwise I will have to stop writing scrap tutorials!!! Thanks for your cooperation. |

select with the magic wand, tolerance on 0. Open the "achtergrond_04" tube, delete the watermark layer, click on pattern in your material palette and find this pattern (it will be at the top).

20. With a nice handwriting font and your text tool, type the
words "Life Journey" on the label. I used the font SlashHmkBold, size 15 and the color #382F20 which is a faded black, as a vector layer. In the material palette, change the foreground to none and make the background color the one I said above. I typed each word separately on two separate layers so I could move them around independently of each other. After I typed a word and place it, I right clicked in the layer palette and converted to raster layer. I've provided the text in psd format if you want to use mine. PSDs can be opened in PSP and will retain the separate layers on transparent background. |

21. Reduce size if you want to, using Resample using Smart Size
as the setting. If needed, go to Adjust>Sharpness>Unsharp Mask at the settings 1-64-4 Watermark and save. Don't forget to optimize. I usually optimize at about 20.(File>Export>Jpeg Optimizer) |
