This tutorial
will show you how to make a banner for your web site.
This is not my
tutorial, the original was written by Zigg for PSP 8. I've just adapted
it for PSP 7 :o)
Open a new
image
Choose a solid
colour, pattern or gradient and flood fill your canvas
Go to Image >
Add Border and use the following settings
You will see
the border has been added. It will always be the same colour as your
background solid colour is. To check what colour your background colour
is, look above your colour palette, there are 2 boxes, the second box is
your background colour. This needs to be a different colour than your
flood fill so that the magic wand can select it properly.
Click on the
magic wand and use the following settings
Marching ant's
will now be on your border.
Flood fill your
border then click on the Inner Bevel Icon and use the following settings
We're now going
to add the text. Always add a new layer for any text that you do or
tubes you put on so you can move them around freely
Add another
layer and add your tubes
Now on your
layer palette, right click on the top layer and go to Merge > Merge
Visible
If you want to
add sparkles now is the time to do it.
Duplicate your
layer by right clicking on it and going to duplicate. I duplicated
mine 2 times so I had 3 layers.
Add your
sparkles and save as a PSP file.
Open your
banner in animation shop and set your frame properties then save and
you're done :o)
Here's a few
more I did
I used the
dissolve effect in Animation Shop to do the following banner
I hope you
enjoyed this tutorial
