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. This tutorial would be for the moderate beginner. I hope you enjoy this tutorial as I have making it. What you will need: Paint Shop Pro if you don't have it you can get an evaluation copy Here .psp images Download Mask Download Penta Filter Here The mask I'm using for this tutorial I've collected along the way and lost who they belong to. If it's yours please let me know so I can give the proper credits. The images are in .psp image and you can unzip them into your images folder. Put your mask in your mask folder. If you dont have a zip program you can get one Here. **Save your work often!!!! 1. Open up a New image. 600x600. Transparent. 2.
