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 Xero>Porcelain, in set 1, Xero>Fritillary, in set 4; Filters Unlimited 2 Supplies in zip file here. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/blend-joslyne-supplies-psp.zip Supplies in psd format here if the psp tubes don't work for you. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/blend-joslyne-supplies-psd.zip |
| Preparation Open your tubes, duplicate them (shift-D) and close the originals. I always open all of my tubes and close as I use them No tube is used more than once so you can close each one after using. I also keep a copy of the tag example open to refer to. Save mine from the top of the page and keep it open if you would like to do this. |
