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 PSP 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. What you will need: Paint Shop Pro if you don't have it you can get an evaluation copy Here .psp Images/Pattern Here Mask Here The images 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. Unzip the image into your PSP image folder.
