This tutorial is a creation of my own. Any resemblance to another is purely coincidental. 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 :) This is a real easy tutorial. I got this idea from watching too much TV lol. In my days it was called "Grafitti", now it's called "Tagging" so let's have fun and tag a tag :) What you will need: Paint Shop Pro if you don't have it you can get an evaluation copy Here Image Download Font Download The image I got somewhere along the way and lost who they belong to the initials are LR. If it's yours please let me know so I can give the proper credits. The image is in .psp image and you can unzip them into your images folder. If you dont have a zip program you can get one Here. Open up your font and minimize it that way you don't have to put it in your fonts folder in the Window folder. **Save your work often!!!! 1. Open up a New Image. 600x600. Transparent. Floodfill with White. 2. Open up your B_Bear_LR image. Edit/Copy, Edit/Paste as a new layer. Duplicate and shut off the duplicate layer. Activate the original layer. 3. Effects/Texture effects/Sandstone and apply: Blur 73, Detail 150, Luminance 12, Angle 45, Color White. OK. Duplicate this layer. Image/Mirror. Use your mover tool and move them so they're side by side but overlapping like in the screenshot below. Go to the duplicate layer and Merge/Merge Down. (See Screenshot below). Now both layers are one layer. 4. Duplicate the layer you just merged. Use your mover tool and move your sandstone textures next to each other. (See Screenshot). 5. Now click on the duplicate layer, Merge/Merge Down. (this is what you should have in your layer palette now). 6. Effects/Texture effects/Textures and find "Bricks" in (PSP 8 it's "Bricks2) apply these settings: Size 110, Smoothness 7, Depth 1, Ambience 100, Shininess 0, Color #c0c0c0, Angle 315, Intensity 30, Elevation 32. OK. Now do this same step again 1 more time. 7. Open up the layer you shut off of the bear tube. 8. This is the fun part :) Your going to do some tagging on your tag. It used to be called Grafitti, it's now "tagging", so let's have fun and tag a tag! If you don't have your PaintyPaint font download opened do so now. Open it up and minimize it. Make your Foreground Null and Background Black. Play around with different text and sizes until you have your "tagging" the way you want it. The screenshot is what I used for my title "Tag-A-Tag". And that's it! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, I had a lot of fun making it as you can see lol. Debbie February 6, 2008 Copyright© 2001-2008 Kreative-Expressionz
