For this tutorial you
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 FM Tile Tools Supplies in zip file here. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/beauty-of-nature-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/beauty-of-nature-supplies-psd.zip Font used for the Word Art tube in the zip file is La Jolla ES *********** Marijke's terms of use, click here, scroll down for the English http://www.marijkepspdesign.nl/voorwaarden.htm |
| Preparation Open the tubes in psp, and place the mask in your masks folder None of the tubes are used more than once, so each can be closed after use. |
1. Put foreground color on #dd9134 and background color on #efd09c,   change the foreground to gradient: Angle 45 - repeats 2 - linear  |

Erase in the horse layer, everything to the right of the horse, such as the orange cloudy effect in the water, from the waterline up to as far as the tube extends so that the water gleams gold and there is no cloudy effect on the bridge Leave the area below the waterline untouched. See example, red outline shows where you should erase.  |

You're done. If you reduce the size, make sure you use your unsharp mask at 1-64-4. Reducing the size may be hard due to the texture effect on the frame. I find the best way to do this is to use your zoom tool and zoom down as far as you can without losing the effect, then hit Alt-print screen to copy it, hit control-V to paste it back into the program as a new image and use your selection tool to cut out the picture. You can either repeat to make it smaller or sometimes you can reduce in the normal way to make it a bit smaller. Another way is to use your resize command, but set at about 95%, bicubic. Repeat this till you get it the size you want. Whichever style floats your boat should work for you! LOL |
