Resize canvas to a bit larger than what you will need eg 2400 X 1800 to allow for a bit of manipulation.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289827076202744594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwLaC3bm9gXuxikZLsTJctpO1W23HS9rMfIxHz2GL_z7dcDioZqUkhuFAXEErsOoV4RSdcQtFAsooFFGP_fQGfJShw9ZbbaM6j4nBb9nYm8np7rUgTnyvpgcW3JRxMJyl-6ILjsBmjDVF/s400/Image1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" />2 Layer> promote background layer.<br /><br />3.

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">I find that creating a good quality BW image
first and then recoloring creates a better final image compared with simply
colorizing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">Later versions of PSP have an excellent

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">The filter works in a similar manner to
splitting channels where you can select the best image from one or a
combination of the channels with the added advantage of an ability to alter the
brightness and clarity at the same time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">You will find the filter under effects >

This sort of
overlaid text effect was once fairly common in advertising.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
To create
"space" around the overlying text, you need to make a selection of
your uppermost text, expand your selection and using that "expanded"
selection "cut out" your
underlying text.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Now that is fine if
your underlying text is a raster layer, but what if that layer is a vector? And
what if you wish to move your uppermost text a smidgeon? It is certainly annoying to have to "undo/redo multiple steps".</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The answer is to<b> use
a mask and link it</b> to the top text layer:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
1 First create a
background layer [not absolutely necessary but I find it helps :) I used white</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
2 Create your bottom
vector text . I used a red fill and no outline but any would do.</div>

Create new vector layer for your uppermost text make sure it is NOT within this layer group but in a separate vector layer above it. [Layer > new vector layer]<br />
Place it in the
approximate final position</div>

You can also convert
your text layers to rasters and apply any effects or simply alter their
properties. At any time later, you can move that top text layer and the cutout effect on the lower text layer will "follow" it.</div>

[Default-Keyboard

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Do you ever have
trouble moving a layer without moving layers above it?</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">First
select the layer you want to move in the layers palette. Now with Move tool
selected, hold down the shift key as you centre on the layer you wish to
move…very useful if you have adjustment layers in place </span><span style="font-family: "wingdings";">J</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">

[d for deform and o for object selector in earlier versions]</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
If course if you use
these tools you can move without problems of moving other layers by mistake.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Precise Movements</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
When using the
Move/Pick tools you can move the layer more precisely by the following:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
To move by
increments</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background: #FFFFFC;">In PSP, you can use the arrow keys to move the
layers on your canvas up, down, or to the right or left. Choose the Move
tool or Pick tool</span><span style="background-color: #fffffc; font-size: 11pt;">, and then:</span></div>
<ul style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .375in; margin-top: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;" type="disc">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; vertical-align: middle;"><span style="background: #fffffc; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">To move
the layer one pixel at a time, press the arrow keys.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .375in; margin-top: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;" type="disc">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; vertical-align: middle;"><span style="background: #fffffc; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">To move
the layer 10 pixels at a time, hold down CTRL and press the arrow keys.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .375in; margin-top: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;" type="disc">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; vertical-align: middle;"><span style="background: #fffffc; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">To move
the layer 50 pixels at a time, hold down SHIFT and press the arrow keys.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .375in; margin-top: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed;" type="disc">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; vertical-align: middle;"><span style="background: #fffffc; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">To move
the layer 100 pixels at a time, hold down CTRL + SHIFT and press the arrow
keys.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">However</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I Found in PSP 9 things were a bit different but still
useful.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The Move Tool:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
To move by 1 pixel
use arrows</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
To move by 10 pixels
hold down<span style="font-weight: bold;"> shift</span> key and arrows</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I found the Ctrl key
didn't work at all in PSP 9 </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The deform tool and
object selector moved by one pixel with arrows but only if shift
key depressed. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Image offset</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
No default key [You
might find it useful to create one]</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Works only with <span style="font-weight: bold;">raster</span> layers. Layer groups will need to be
merged.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
If you wish to move
a layer more precisely and quickly, the offset effect might be better.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Select your layer,
then Effects> Image effects> Offset>Custom and “transparent” and then
enter the number of pixels you want to move your layer in any direction. </div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The number of pixels
is limited only by the canvas size. [you can’t move a layer off the canvas]</div>

The Move tool will
only move the whole group, not individual layers within the group.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The deform

came the introduction of the ability to work with raster layers and even a

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">Here
you have the option of rotating an image by a custom number of degrees in any
direction, either around its own axis or around the whole canvas centre. You
can rotate all layers or just a single layer.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin-left: .375in; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin-left: .375in; margin: 0in;">
If
you rotate a background layer or "all layers" of an image containing
a background layer, the canvas will enlarge to accommodate the rotation. [ the extra "space"
is filled with whatever you have in your background materials palette]</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin-left: .375in; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin-left: .375in; margin: 0in;">
With
raster layers, you will always get a little blurring [degradation] of your
image, with the rotation and this is multiplied each time you repeat a
rotation. Therefore, if you find that
your rotation is not quite as desired it is always better to undo and repeat
with a different degree setting, rather than try to make adjustments. Then
apply a little sharpening.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin-left: .375in; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin-left: .375in; margin: 0in;">
Vector
layers will remain sharp with this sort of rotation.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Pick Tool</span> [Deform, Object Selector]</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin-left: .375in; margin: 0in;">
Of
course you can always use the Pick Tool [Deform, Object selector] for this sort
of rotation [at least of a single layer] but never with the same degree of
accuracy unless you actually put in values in the toolbar. If you try to rotate
a background layer, it will be promoted to a raster layer but the canvas will
<b>NOT</b> be enlarged automatically to accommodate it.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">

If you
"untick" crop image when you
straighten a background the canvas will enlarge in a similar way….using your
background materials palette to fill the "space". If the straighten
tool is used on a raster layer, the image will be rotated about its centre, not
the centre of the canvas. If degree angles are used, the degree of rotation is
to the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> left</span> :)</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Tips</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I often use the Free
rotate option when creating animations. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
If I require a
series of different rotations, I always make copies the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> original</span> layer and
then apply the degree of rotation to
each copy. This maintains the clarity of
the image. This isn't necessary if I am using vectors.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
It really helps to
use a quick script...or if you create the same sort of image often, save a script. [ e.g. a sweeping
clock hand]</div>

PSP has several
tools for changing the colour of part of an image.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">You can select an
area and simply apply a change in Hue and Saturation, found under the Adjust
drop down list.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Also, the following
can be found in your tools palette:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Color Replacer brush</span></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Found in early
versions of PSP grouped with eye dropper</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
To use the tool:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Select the colour
you wish to replace in the background materials palette and your replacement
material [color, gradient or pattern/with/without texture ] as the foreground
material.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Even if the area is
fairly uniformly coloured you will need to adjust the tolerance to get good
coverage.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The pixels will be
replaced by a "flat" fill ..with no consideration for shading.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
There is also the
option to change all of the similar pixels in the image...where it acts more as
a fill rather than brush.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
It is a useful tool
for images with limited tonal qualities and for some special effects.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Remember that you
can use any of your brushes!</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
It is the sort of
tool that I tend to use after I duplicate my image ..and great to produce
grungy effects.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">

This is a "clever" brush with the ability to
cover any area selected with your brush with any material selected in your
foreground materials, whilst maintaining the tonal qualities underneath.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
VERY useful brush.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Try using the
various modes for different options. Use
left click for foreground materials and
right click for background.</div>

Color Changer is not
a brush but a fill option. It works in a similar fashion to the color replacer
but a bit better than the color replacer
for large areas. ..and I think gives a better result.</div>

work with the colour palette but you can change the color as many times as you
wish before applying the effect ...simply by altering the colour in the
foreground palette!</div>

It is worth
experimenting with all of these tools :) You will find some better for some
jobs than others or maybe a combination will work better for you.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
It is always worth
working with a duplicate of your original !!! ...or even a duplicate layer.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Some Further Tips:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't be afraid to experiment with the opacity of your cut-out or highlight layers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lighter colours may require lower opacity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst still selected blur these layers if you think it is necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With some images I found that using the softening brush around the outline of the egg in my merged image, gave better perspective</div>

<div align="left">
<em><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Photoshop brushes can be imported into
later versions of PSP ..otherwise use a 3rd party application to create .png

I wondered how many of you , like me, love to add textured backgrounds to
your images.</div>
<div>
There are some really lovely textures available or you may even have something that you have created yourself which would lend itself as an interesting but not too intrusive canvas background.</div>
<div>
Remember, if your image is large you will also need a texture image large enough to fit and hopefully room to spare:)</div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I hope I have written it clearly enough for those of you who are relatively
inexperienced in Paint Shop Pro</div>
<div>
Perhaps it may help you think a little outside the square and experiment with some features that you haven't tried before :)</div>
<div>
Below I will explain what I did with my particular image but really, playing with various textures and settings is the best way to learn.<br />
You can download a PDF file of this tutorial <a href="http://dc596.4shared.com/download/TQjeI2Qa/Adding_a_textured_background_t.pdf">HERE</a></div>
<div>
In this particular case I wanted to blend my flowers into the background, rather than extract them precisely and place them "on top". This sort of method suits a flower such as a rose with a soft edged look.</div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
This was a photo of one of my roses "Seduction" which I took on Friday
morning early.[much reduced in size]</div>

</div>
The background certainly left a fair bit to be desired but I rather liked
the various shades of colour that I had captured in the rose ...even if the
composition wasn't marvellous either!<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
Sorting through my folders of textures I found one whose colour cast [blue]
wasn't quite what I wanted but had the sort of painted surface look that I was
after and it was a size that was sufficiently large.</div>
<div>
[Some similar textures on my website <a href="http://www.judyattoc.com/2012/07/click-image-above-to-enlarge.html">HERE</a>}</div>

I made a copy of my texture and closed the original. This I desaturated
with the thought that it could be recoloured later, and rotated 90
degrees.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3odAatk9CC9P6mYd_15M8t3V386jZoaMGY4DD4NXavQ7Ql3Ag80xbslsFmBztiwCYKI5DWmroDYMVC5ZJn2xar2ANwXLVzVAzKuWiJ87zN0bUhZS4HhsNxHsxjaAwkHR44Y9y-4ZZRpoL/s1600/texture_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3odAatk9CC9P6mYd_15M8t3V386jZoaMGY4DD4NXavQ7Ql3Ag80xbslsFmBztiwCYKI5DWmroDYMVC5ZJn2xar2ANwXLVzVAzKuWiJ87zN0bUhZS4HhsNxHsxjaAwkHR44Y9y-4ZZRpoL/s320/texture_2.jpg" width="226" /></a></div>
I also copied my flower photo in Paint Shop Pro and worked on my copy retaining its original
size and not bothering to crop it.<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
I promoted my background to layer [Layer> promote to layer ] and roughly
selected the area that I wanted with a rectangular selection tool, then inverted
selection and deleted.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs9GH-L60p5pexnBwEj4g2GUHKPa0N9l5nTFnJ0FijDJyyS1B84dQuzc7UiBucZtJmqAHDA0pJyLc4TFdoQ4nuFG5xXMmqy_Iz7Nis5-Hozs_SCQhQk-VanElJqRozRaTY_pGypIV5ozmq/s1600/Selected+area.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs9GH-L60p5pexnBwEj4g2GUHKPa0N9l5nTFnJ0FijDJyyS1B84dQuzc7UiBucZtJmqAHDA0pJyLc4TFdoQ4nuFG5xXMmqy_Iz7Nis5-Hozs_SCQhQk-VanElJqRozRaTY_pGypIV5ozmq/s320/Selected+area.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>
<div>
<div>
I then copied my modified <strong>texture</strong> and added it as a new
layer to my flower before dragging this layer under my flower layer.</div>
<div>
As you can see it is quite a lot larger than my canvas area which will
allow me to move it around later if I wish, to get the piece of it that I
want.</div>
<div>
If your texture is a bit small you can stretch it into shape a bit . [as it
is an abstract sort of image a bit of distortion isn't going to matter too
much]</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the mask Layer group, I opened the layers within and reveal the actual
mask and worked on this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now with a large WHITE soft brush I worked from the centre of the image to
reveal the flowers.</div>

I then duplicated this layer group and changed the duplicated layer back to
normal mode.</div>
<div>
With my soft brush and BLACK fill opacity 50% I worked around the edges of
my flower area on the mask to reveal a little less of the flower . {some of the
edges on the layer below then appeared ..but softly. I lowered the opacity of
this layer group to 80%</div>

As you can see the centre of the rose needed boosting back to normal
:)</div>
<div>
I again duplicated my mask group and increased opacity of this layer group
back to 100%</div>

Now I turned my attention to recolouring my background.</div>

</div>

After some trial and error [aka fiddling about :) ] :</div>
<div>
Choosing a colour from my image I floodfilled a new layer above the
background and changed the blend mode to burn.</div>
<div>
I duplicated this layer and changed the blend to soft light.</div>
<div>
This gave me a rather attractive pinkish tone to the background but I
needed a little colour contrast.</div>
<div>
Green is always a safe choice with pink.</div>
<div>
With a new layer , flood filled with a fading gradient of a soft green
[blend "color"]</div>
<div>
It wasn't quite "warm" enough for my liking so I added a new layer and
flooded with a light cream [blend mode soft light.]</div>
<div>
I then adjusted the opacity of these layers to something I liked .</div>
</div>

As you can see the colouring is still fairly subtle and doesn't overpower my
flowers.</div>

Because I had linked all the masked flower layers I was able to move them
together around my canvas with the move tool :)...very handy if I wanted to add
any text.</div>

The many layers left unmerged allowed a lot of potential for adjustment if
I wasn't happy with the colour print out.</div>
<div>
Also by giving myself so much canvas room, I had lots of cropping options
available too.</div>

We'll start with a general recolour by adding a new raster layer blend mode "overlay"
Flood fill with #ca6740 ...oops...a bit strident..Lower opacity of the layer to suit your preference..I've gone down to 50%
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1BcLjUnJ_LSje-IbAU-NMYjUp2zWDvsXUwdCWTqSaYk9HUjtsQIOmDBjApWje_IBWKsrpjzzi0oDeH-iEjP2oy8qg5NYOOH-LXXH4NHXU3pZWQpeecDoYOhM9sknDh2Y8T2a0n2kfRw/s1600/Image3a.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508532818099188242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1BcLjUnJ_LSje-IbAU-NMYjUp2zWDvsXUwdCWTqSaYk9HUjtsQIOmDBjApWje_IBWKsrpjzzi0oDeH-iEjP2oy8qg5NYOOH-LXXH4NHXU3pZWQpeecDoYOhM9sknDh2Y8T2a0n2kfRw/s400/Image3a.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 158px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 389px;" /></a>
Already looking better.Notice how the colour is only taken up by the non white areas.

New raster layer called "cheeks", blend mode "overlay" [or "color"].
Using a round paint brush opacity about 50% and hardness 30% zoom in and colour the cheek areas...and again lower opacity of your layer..it is best to be subtle. Erase or undo any overcolouring.until you are happy.
I used color #ca4040

I brightened up the eyes with a bit of yellowy brown in the same way.
Use a new layer for each colour.
The dress I took to be calico coloured.
This time my new layer was blend mode "color" and I carefully coloured the dress area with #446244 and lowered opacity way down until just some colour showing.

New layer, blend mode "dodge"

If you only wish to use your image with a white background , save now as a .jpg.
However, you may want to use over a variety of backgrounds and will want to have your vinigrette saved as a pspimage or .png with a transparent background.
Let's fine tune our mask by flood filling our background [layer 1] with black.

I have used only a few layers in this example ...with a more complicated image you will have more and you may need to experiment with colours to get just the look that you would like.
I tend to use quite strong colours at low opacity and find that works best for me. </div><div> </div><div>A Couple of Tips:</div><div>Do any repairs to your photo before you start :)</div><div>If your resultant image looks a bit "muddy" or dark, lighten your original image. </div><div>A quick way to do this which I find works well is to duplicate the layer of your photo and change the blend mode of that duplicate layer to "screen" and adjust opacity to suit before merging down.</div><div>
Have fun ..and DO experiment.</div><div><span style="text-align: left;"> Judy</span></div><div>

This tutorial requires plug-ins. I am assuming you have those but if not go to our PLUG IN links on left.<br /><br />Take this simple picture of some woods (many thanks Joan for the great picture) - click on the pic to see full size, right click and save to your desktop.<br /><br />Using your square selection tool choose a reasonably sized square, copy and paste as a new image.<br /><br />Resize to around 300x300 px. Windows duplicate twice so that you have three separate squares. This is the basis of our play. Firstly we will make all our tiles then create finished papers.<br /><br />1) With your first square duplicate the layer, flip and reduce opacity to 50 - this is to tone down the amount of light sky colour - merge all flatten. FM Tile tools, blend emboss at default. Then use Xero, Artifax with the following settings: 255/170/25/0/255<br />Add new layer and drag to bottom, fill with colour - I used #859fa0 - on top layer change opacity to suit you. Merge all flatten and save as .jpg tile 1.<br /><br />2) Using your second square, Effects, Distorion Effects, Polar co-ordinates, rectangular to pole.<br />Use your deform tool to pull your image right of the sides to fill the square. Then use your crop tool around the square and delete from the edges to get rid of any polar left outside. Blur, gaussian blur 12. Add noise gaussian mono 5. Now DSB Flux, centre mirror at default. FM emboss, FM seamless tile at default. Save as .jpg tile 2.<br /><br />3) Using your third square cut a little square piece out with no sky - effects, image effects, seamless at default. Save as .jpg tile 3.<br /><br />Having fun? Let's go make our papers <div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4MQNSDabJmzRwvJq2bAnBVE9TCErMP1mlRuHyBtNLh2tWQrH5RPgebUQEEVxXJ3N7KCl_idBga2QovFezhOgPk9M0LhrJoPV7ruhnoeriYtFD-7WVnNOxqUBuYeaOEE9wCFbKb8CfelM/s1600-h/papers.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4MQNSDabJmzRwvJq2bAnBVE9TCErMP1mlRuHyBtNLh2tWQrH5RPgebUQEEVxXJ3N7KCl_idBga2QovFezhOgPk9M0LhrJoPV7ruhnoeriYtFD-7WVnNOxqUBuYeaOEE9wCFbKb8CfelM/s400/papers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304242211969676642" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Take your first saved jpg tile, minimize, open new image 600 x 600 (or whatever size you want). On your colour pallete select pattern and settings 0 50, fill. You may add texture or anything else you wish to this plaid. As it is a subtle colour it is very easy to recolour using hue and saturation.<br /><br />Take your second saved jpg tile, minimize and select it in your pallete again, this time settings are 45 and 10. Open new image as above, flood fill with pattern, add a layer of the same soft green colour as earlier, reduced opacity to about 70 to tone with the plaid. Save this as your second paper.<br /><br />For the third paper using your saved tile 3 use the tile as a pattern, open new image and fill with pattern, settings 45 and 50. Use FM emboss twice, add a new layer, fill with the soft green colour as earlier and reduce opacity to suit.<br /><br />There you have three completely different papers from one image, all tone nicely. As we have used a soft colour each paper can be duplicated and coloured as often as you like.<br /><br /><br /></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAj2wZHl3NBy6LSp9zun3l6DOE89sObRlo9aFMG8gyv70YU3dGaXZRbei5yuWsbwutawDjuwIjjCd8Rlcu_OO-rKBoQ3ASmRypXVcckBOo-DA5pue__eo-n9-BBoxl6Imfgv8BXpBXGvk/s1600-h/joan+woods+finish.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 399px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAj2wZHl3NBy6LSp9zun3l6DOE89sObRlo9aFMG8gyv70YU3dGaXZRbei5yuWsbwutawDjuwIjjCd8Rlcu_OO-rKBoQ3ASmRypXVcckBOo-DA5pue__eo-n9-BBoxl6Imfgv8BXpBXGvk/s400/joan+woods+finish.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304247460999468114" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Here are my papers with addition of a deer!
