This tutorial is a creation of my own. Any resemblance to another is purely coincidental.  No infrigments are intended.      I've used techniques I've learned along the way and new ones as I learn. Please read my Terms before doing my tutorial. I used Paintshop Pro X to make this tutorial, but will be compatible with versions 8 and newer. You will need to have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro to do this tutorial. My tutorials may seem lengthy, but I try to write them so even the moderate beginner can be able to do them as well as the more advanced. I hope you enjoy :) What you will need: Paint Shop Pro if you don't have it you can get an evaluation copy Here Image Here Mask Here FM Tile Tools Here This is a demo but the blend emboss always keeps working after the demo is done. *Optional Crescent Moon Filter.
