For this tutorial you
will need: Corel Paint Shop Pro (or Jasc previous versions) Filters and materials needed FM Tile Tools (many of the FM filters continue to work after trial period, Blend Emboss is one of them) A tube, psd file, or object. Caro mask I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located. |
| 1. New canvas 400X400, white; find a tube you like and pick a color from it for the tile |
| 2. Flood fill with a gradient (Edit>Fill>Gradient) or a pattern. Angle 45, repeats 0 Gradients with 0 or 1 repeats work better than gradients with multiple repeats.  |
3. Adjust>Blur>Average: 21 (in previous versions it may be under effects) If you use a light color like this, you won't notice much difference, but in using a pattern or a gradient with more difference between the colors, you will really see the difference. |
| 4. Apply Mask Layers>Load-Save Mask>From Disk Browse to your mask and apply as shown in ss  In layer palette in mask layer, click on delete, and merge group  |
5. FM Tile Tools>Blend Emboss at default. You can do this twice if you like.  |
6. Effects>User Defined Filters: Emboss 3  You will see the effect of the embossing (steps 5 and 6) more after the next step. |
| 7. Add a new layer 8. Pull layer to bottom in your layer palette 9. Flood fill with a color picked from your tube  |
| 10. Making sure you are in the top layer, copy-paste (control-c to copy, control-L to paste as layer) your tube and resize so that it fits in the first left top square 11. Lower opacity of tube layer to about 28 or to your taste  Merge all |
12. Effects>Image Effects>Seamless tiling>Default  |
| 13. Open new canvas 1280X400 (I prefer the 1280 width as most modern monitors are fairly large. You can pick another width if you like. The height has to stay at 400 as it's the height of the tile. |
14. Set color palette to pattern and find the tile you just made. Angle 0, Scale 100.   Flood fill new canvas with it  If you think it's too dark or bright for stationery, click on fill tool and fill with a coordinating color or white, transparency about 35-50. You can then sharpen, to bring out the embossing again. |
| 17. Apply your tube to the new stationery strip, move it to the left side, add a shadow if desired, Effects>3D Effects>Drop Shadow. This is the setting I prefer (3-3-50-15)   Merge all, watermark and you're done |
| l hope you had fun! |
Other Examples  The above two were made with a gradient with 0 repeats The one below was made with a gradient with multiple repeats, I don't like the effect as well.  |
