For this tutorial you will
need: PSP, either Jasc or Corel versions. 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 Filters Unlimited 2 Supplies in zip file here. http://www.ellies-treasures.com/files/tuts/cadre-priscilla-supplies.zip The tube is both in pspimage format and also psd format for older programs. The tube was made by Suzy and shared here with her permission to Violette. Suzy shares her tubes in her groups The gold gradient I used is supplied but you can use any gold gradient you like. ************* I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located. |
