This tutorial is a creation of my own. Any resemblance to another is purely coincidental. No copyright 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/Text Here Mask Here The image, text, and mask I've collected along the way or got from a group. Please keep it in contact. If it's yours please let me know so I can give the proper credits. The images and patterns are in .psp image and you can unzip them into your images folder. If you dont have a zip program you can get one Here. Unzip your mask in your masks folder or where you keep your masks for PSP. **Save your work often!!!! 1. Open up a New Image. 600x500. Transparent. Flood fill with White. 2. Add a New layer. Make your foreground Color #f8c400. Background Color #06a2dd. Change your Foreground Solid Color to Gradient. Choose Foreground/Background. Style is Radial (the 4th square). Angle 115, Repeats 3, Horizontal and Vertical both 50. OK. Floodfill with this gradient. **For the next Step #3. If you using another tube you need to use a gradiant with a color or 2 that match your tube and apply the settings in step 2 for your gradient and when you do Colored Foil you'll have to play around to get the colors you want and the look you want. I had fun playing around with different gradients and the colored foil that's why I wrote this tutorial it was something really different for me :) 3.
