I find a tube doesn't work too well with this unless you put a coordinating
background behind and merge all before the seamless tile effect.


My plugin windows may look different from yours as I use Filters Unlimited 2 to manage my plugins - available for purchase here

I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located.
1. open your image. Duplicate (Shift-D) and close original. Image>Resize if needed to 300 pix height.
Duplicate and minimize.
2. Effects/Image Effects/Seamless Tiling: default with transition in 100




3. Effects/Artistic Effects/Topography:
width = 25
Density = 94
Angle = 141


4. Layers>Load/Save Mask>Load Mask from disk:
Stained Glass5c
Invert Transparency checked
5. Right click in mask layer>Delete, allow it to merge with layer below it
Merge All
6. With the Magic Wand select the white lines
In your color palette, pick pattern and in the next window, click the arrow and find the minimized image
Fill the white lines with it

Select None
7. Select All
Add new raster layer
8. Maximize your duplicate tube
Layers>Load/Save Mask>Load Mask from disk: 2020 , invert transparency NOT checked

Right click in mask layer>Delete
allow it to merge with layer below it
Edit>Copy and minimize
Over to your working canvas.
Edit>Paste into selection
Select None
9. Resize the image to fit in the center of the center diamond
(In PSP 9 use your raster deform tool - In PSP X! it's the pick tool-behind the move tool)
and click on the bottom right bounding box and push it up and to the left to resize evenly)


Lower the opacity to 40 or to your taste

Merge All
10. Effects>Image Effects>Seamless Tiling: Corner-Bidirectional-Curved and transition at 100



Tile is now ready
11. Open new canvas 1024x300. (I usually make mine 1280 wide, this writer makes hers 1024)
In color palette, find the pattern you just made (don't worry about the different pattern here,
just reusing a screenshot from another tut. LOL Settings are the same.



Fill canvas with it.
12. Maximize the image that already has the mask applied
Edit>Copy
Edit>Paste as a new layer. (control-L) and move to the left.
Merge all, watermark and you're done
l hope you had fun!
