will need: Jasc or Corel Paint Shop Pro. 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 filters needed 1 picture of your choice, I used Beach House Rendezvous by David Miller: http://mauiarts.com/Home.htm |
| 1. Make your picture 400 pixels high, pick a beautiful color from it and make that your foreground color, background color is black In picking your color, pick on the light side as it will darken with the effects. Or you can colorize the whole frame afterward or use Brightness and Contrast. I used color #9fd7d4 for my foreground color  |

After I was done, I decided I wanted the frame more of an turquoise color, to match the water, less grey in it, so I selected around the picture itself, then inverted so only the frame was picked, then I went to Manual Colorization, picked a light color from the frame as a source and for the target color I picked a color from the water and matched it, then played with the sliders till it looked the way I wanted it. , You could also just colorize or use the Brightness and Contrast (Adjust>Brightness and Contrast>Brightness/Contrast) command on it, instead of colorizing, just play with the sliders till you like what you see. |
| You're done. If you reduce the size, make sure you use your unsharp mask at 1-64-4. |
|
Watermark and Copyright Layers>New raster layer. Add your watermark and copyrights on this new layer. Layers>Merge>Merge all (flatten) |
|
Save File>Export>Jpeg optimizer - compression of 20 or save as a png, nicer picture but heavier file size. |
