Using Paint Shop Pro and Tubes.

Step One

Home Page


  • Open PSP (Paint Shop Pro)
  • File --> Browse (lets you browse all the tubes you have)
  • find the Gel_Button tube and double click on it
  • find the WinXP tube and double click on it
  • close the browse window
  • select the crop tool
  • crop the blue button
  • select the arrow
  • right click on blue button and select Copy
  • right click anywhere on the PSP desktop and choose Paste as a new image
  • Select Gel_Buttons and hold down the Ctrl key and then press the Z key (known as Ctrl-Z)
  • Close the Gel_Buttons tube


This is what it should look like so far.


Since these buttons are a bit big they need to be resized. Later on you can find (or create) another set of buttons. I just noticed that there are two size buttons for Ikonboard so I found that I could use the same button but just resize it twice

  • Select the new blue button
  • Select Image->Resize

    
  • Make sure Maintain Aspect Ratio of ... is ticked
  • Select Percent of Original and type in 60


  • Click on your WinXP tube
  • select the crop tool
  • for this example we are going to use the couple so crop around them
  • select the arrow button
  • right click on the newly cropped couple and select Copy
  • right click anywhere on the PSP desktop and choose Paste as a new image
  • Select the WinXP tube again and Ctrl-Z
  • Close the WinXP tube


Your screen should look like this so far

  • select arrow and right click on couple and select copy
  • right click on bluebutton and select Paste as a new layer
  • move it around to where you want it be
  • Ctrl-Z the WinXP box and close it.
