or

Tube of choice

PSP of course silly me....lol
No plugs in needed for this one.
Ok lets get started.

1. Open a new image go to file and new image.
I like to work with a large size, we can resize later.

2. Find the tube you want to use. Open it up in psp and copy and paste to the new image.
Resize the tube if you need to. I resized this one by 85%, Then go to layers and duplicate it.

3. On your layer pallet make sure you have the first one highlighted. It should say raster 2.


4. Go to effects and distortion effects, and twirl

You can play with the setting and get different efforts if you want to, 720 is what I used.
5. Go to effects and 3D inner bevel.

6. Effects and drop shadow with these settings.

7. Now click on the top layer on your layer pallet to make it the active one and resize that tube,I went to 75%, you want it so you can see the background. Then get your mover tool
and move the tube where you want it. Remember if you don't

like something edit undo, don't have to start all over.
Now give it a drop shadow of choice.....I used the same setting except change blur to 5.
If your happy with it so far then go to layers and merge all visible.


8. Now take your crop tool.... and draw around your image close to it but not touching the tube part. That will get rid of all the back you don't need. Then go and click on the check mark and it will go down.

9. Go to layers and add a new raster layer, then layer arrange and send to bottom.
Pick a color from your tube and flood fill the background. Color I used #895735, but it will depend on your tube.

10. Now go to effects, texture effects, and Texture, you decide

what you like in there the best, all kinds of things to use..........this is what I used.

When your happy with this then go to layers and merge.

11. Add a border of choice of color to look good

with your tag, I used white size 3,
then get your magic wand and click on the border to make it active,

then go to selection and invert. Then effects 3D cutout

then change the 2 to -2 and redo the cutout. Go to selections and none to stop the ants.

12. Go to image and add another border, I used size 10 and made it a color from my background. Then get your magic wand and make it active and give it the same texture effect. Then to effects and 3D and inner bevel same settings as before. Selections, and none. Your all done.

13. Add a name or any thing else you wish to add to your tag.
If your happy with everything resize it to your liking.

No plug-in needed
Download the supplies
HERE
Once you have done that open them up in psp

Find the graphic you wish you use.
I'm using this one for this tutorial.


Take and make a copy of the original and close it out
use alt and D on your keyboard.

1. Take and add a border size 3 use a color that's not in your graphic.

2. Get your magic wand and click on the border to
get the ants running around.
Go to you color pallet and find the gold color your going to use I used
It will be in the patterns.

Click on your flood fill tool and fill in the border.

Then go to selection invert, now to effects, 3D cutouts and use these settings

Now do it once more but this time change the Vertical, and Horizontal to -2
Then go to selection and none to kill the ants.

3. Add another border size 3 and pick a color from your graphic.
#a44068 color I used.

4. Add another border size 15 I used #a44068 again
You should now have it looking like this

5. Get your magic wand tool and click on the last border there, then go to
effects and Refection effects and Kaleidoscope,with these settings

Now if you used a different graphic you will need to play and adjust your settings to
your liking, cause they will look different then mine.

Then add a bevel use the setting below. Go to effects and inner bevel and use
these settings.

Then go to selection and none to kill the ants.
Add another border size 3 and flood fill it with the gold like before.
Then another border size 3 in the color you used before. #a44068
Then another size 3 border and fill with the gold.
Add another border size 30 in the color #a44068
Click on the border with the wand and go to effects then texture effects and blinds
and use these settings.

Inner bevel with the same settings as before.
No selection and none.
Add another border size 3 and fill with the gold.
Another border size 3 color #a44068
This is what you should have now.

Your now ready to add your watermark, and anything else you would like.

You are all done, hope you have enjoyed my tutorial.

Tutorial for beginners in all psp's

Tutorial by Jcuttlebear01@aol.com
When you want to save your work in PSP.
I'm new to writing tut's so bare with me.
Ok so you have made a tag and want to keep it, this is what you will do.
Go to file.......then look for Export.......JPEG Optimizer
and a window will open up.......

Now all you do is click on ok and look for the folder you want to put it into.
I have a folder called my work and that's where I store them.
You can give the tag a name and just click ok if that's where you want it to go.
That is all there is to it.....now when you want to find it to send it to someone.....just go up to the camera thing here in the write mail......and open that up find the folder you have your work stored to and the tag should be
there........
Now if you are saving it to do some more work on it then you would go to file, save as.....and then you can do more with it later on if you want. You will not be able to find it in the camera thing this way because its like a tube.
Hope this helps you learn how to save your work in psp.

Things you will need

SUPPLIES HERE

PSP of course.....silly me.

I used 9 for this one but can use any really.
Tube
Font of choice

Lets get started.

1. Open your psp

2. Find the tube you want to use, open and minimize for now to the
bottom of your psp.

3. Go to file, and image and open up a new image

I like to make them big can always re size when done.

400x200

4. Now go over to your color pallet
and see the two first set of squares the top one is your foreground

color and the bottom is your background colors. So what you do is left click on

the top square and the box will open up

Now you see up there in the top where it says color, gradient, and pattern you can go and explore those later on this is called your color pallet.....now go over to you tube your going to use and you will see an eyedropper open up just pick a color in the tube you want for your foreground #BC7d74 this is the color I'm using, now click OK when you have the color you want. You want to use a lighter color on the top, Then do the same for the background....color.....#65423c I'm using.

Next get your

you will see it in the tool bar, you just go up and click on it.
Now go to the new image and click on the inside there with

the OK it will turn the color you want to use for your background,

right click does one and left the other.

If you do something you don't like remember this

EDIT UNDO IS YOUR BEST FRIEND IN PSP

you don't have to start over totally just go to edit and undo.
Now lets go to the next step, I will have you add a border to this blank image.

5. Go to image and then add border....now if this box opens up just click OK

Then it will let you have this box...this is where you go to add the borders.
Set it like I have here......

Then just click OK.
Now you will have a white border around your work, you get the color the same

way as you did kind of with the color pallet, see where it says color click in it and the color box will open and you can add whatever color you want just make sure its not the same as

the color you put in the center or it will not show up.
OK now with that done.....you can add another one with a different

color and make it larger like maybe 5

you decide.....then add a 3rd color is you wish make each border a

different size or and color if you want to.
I added the 2, then 5, then 2, then 10 now get your

click on the arrow on this icon and a box opens and you will see

a wand looking tool that is your magic wand.
Now go over to you image you just added borders to and in the last border you

added click on it with the wand..now you will get what we call ants don't

worry that's what you want.

now you can go to effects and 3D and outer bevel and a box opens up there are many thing you can do. with this bevel.....this is what I did....

you have many options in the shape of it....see the arrow up there with the shape in it click on it and you will find this icon in there......and then just change the rest of the numbers like mine if you want your choice is endless. Then just click OK to get out of there. When your tag is like you want go to selection and select none and the ants will stop.....now you can add your tube of choice. You might have to resize it....so you need to refer back to the other tut how to do that I resided mine by 50 percent. Remember edit undo if its to small or to big....and just keep trying it will fits.

Then get your

and place your tube where you want it, be sure and save room for the name.

Now you can add a drop shadow to your tube........go to effects 3D drop Shadow,

Then just click on OK......
Next we will add your name to the tag. Click on this font icon and a box opens up

in this part that is where you find your fonts you want to use....see the 3rd box there click

on the arrow there and it will show you all the fonts you have in there......just

pick one.....now the next box is the size you want your letters to be......the nest one

is the stroke which you can make your font 2 different colors if you wish.
those are the main ones you will use for now. Vector will put a little box

around your name when you add it,
When your name is like you want you need to go to layers and

convert layers and it gets rid of that box.

see that is a vector around your name
You can do a lot with it but will teach you that later.
When your done you can add a drop shadow to your
name and even bevel it if you wish.
A lot of fun things to do here. When your done just go to layers

and merge all......your done

Now you can resize if you need to.....go to image and resize, you can either us

pixel, or percent.......I used 80 percent on mine, when happy with the size, then you

are ready to save your work.
If you don't know how just give me a shout.

Need help don't be scared to ask me.....
need help with beginner lesson 2
Do hope I have helped you learn something new.

Would love to see what you have done.

This is my finished tag.

Good luck
