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 :)
