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 :) I want to thank Diane from PSP made EZ for the help and making the preset shapes into the right .jsl file for me, what a trooper. Thank you Diance :) What you will need: Paint Shop Pro if you don't have it you can get an evaluation copy Here .psp images Download Preset Shape Download The image and preset I've collected along the way and lost who they belong to.
