So I thought, you would like to know how to color an image using Paint Shop Pro.
1) Open your image, I'm using a picture of spongebob.
2) Now go to Adjust >> Hue and Saturation >> Colorize.
3) By adjusting the number in "Hue" you are basically changing the color.
4) By adjusting the number in "Saturation" you are changing the brightness.
5) ex. If Saturation is at 0 the image will be grayscale.
6) Below is how my finished product turned out.
1) First get your image, open a new file, and select a shape, a rectangle, circle anything! You can even get a different shape from the internet.
2) I am using a heart I pixeled. 3) Now I am going to fill this heart with a color that goes with my picture.
4) Now select it, copy it and go to the image you want to paste it on.
5) Go to Image >> Make sure Draw Opaque is NOT checked.
6) Paste it, and move it into the corners of your image.
1) Lets start by taking a look at the finished image (top), yes the finished image.
2) You can see that the main purpose of the image is a meerca pouring sand over another pet.
3) Therefore in a new file I am going to use the GREEN color of the bucket and pixel little green buckets.
4) You can zoom to 8x, and if you need a guide type Ctrl + G, for the grid.
5) Done, good job. Now select your pixeled image, go back to your picture, and make sure Image >> Draw Opaque is NOT checked.
6) Now paste, and drag all over your image. You're done! I added borders.
This is a quick tutorial on how to make stylish text. 1) Open up two windows of MS Paint, one with your image, and the other blank. 2) On the blank one go to Image >> Attributes >> Black and White 3) Now instead of colors you will see a bunch of patterns, select PLAIN black, the Text Tool, and type a letter or word. 4) Now select any pattern on the bottom row that I have outlined.
5) Use the fill bucket tool, and fill in every letter.
6) Use the select tool (top), and select your text. Copy it.
7) Go to your other window with the image, Go to Image >> And uncheck "Draw Opaque".
8) Now paste it on your image. (If you want you can select and paste 1 letter at a time)
NOTE: I did not have the time to do watermarks for ALL those screenies, does NOT mean you can take them on your own tutorial! I got this tutorial from marysgraphics.com, but added an extra part and explained a bit more because of the trouble I had with that tutorial. I am NOT claiming this tutorial as my own, just the screenies. I am not claiming the image I used either, I got that from neopets. ;)
This is a totally awesome effect. Real cool!
PART 1 (Slated)
1) Open your image (I am using a neopets image)
2) Now Select the marquee tool, and create rectangles similar to mine below
3) Copy, and paste, as a new layer in your stack. Now that you have your new layers go to Effects >> Shadow
4) Select "Drop Left" and "Customize this Shadow". Choose white, and set transparency and edge softness to 0. Do NOT click OK yet!
5) Instead on the screen with the preview, move the shadow a bit similar to mine.
6) Click ok, and repeat the shadow, except this time select "Drop Right" and set the color to black, Transparency to 0, and edge softness to 3. BEFORE clicking ok, move the shadow similar to what I have below.
7) Click ok, and there you have your slated image!
PART 2 (fade)
8) Remember the previous layer below our slates? Click on that.
9) After clicking on the whole image UNDER out slates its time to apply the effect. Go to Effects >> Diffuse Glow and set your settings to mine, or feel free to play around.
10) After clicking ok, save your image, and you should be done. If you do not understand any part of the tutorial please leave a comment and I will do my best to fix it ASAP.
I am using Digital Image Pro 9 Suite, but I am sure it will work with any version that has the Edge Finder tool.
1) Open up your image, I am using a neopets image.
2) Use the Edge Finder tool to select the image that you still want color in.
3) Now invert your selection.
4) Finally click Effects >> Black and White
4a) You can also try Effects >> Antique
If you find anything unclear leave a comment and I will update the tutorial.
In this tutorial we will go over making a fake vector. We all know how hard vectors are, I will teach you how to make a vector like image easily!
1) Get the Image you are using.
2) Go to Adjust >> Add/Remove Noise >> Edge Preserving Smooth
3) Set the amount of smoothing somewhere form 12-16. Click OK.
4) Go to Layers >> Duplicate.
5) Now go to Effects >> Artistic Effects >> Colored edges. Set your settings to mine.
5) On your duplicated layer set the opacity (transparency) to 70.
6) You're done. Any questions? Post a comment, and I will do my best to answer.
UPDATE: If you are using a psd you may want to try leaving the opacity at 100. :)
This is a really cool tutorial where you can put a motion effect in Paint Shop Pro.
1) Open up your image.
2) Duplicate the Layer. Name it "Light"
3) Select the move tool, and move "Light" a bit to the left or right.
4) Then set the opacity (transparency) of "Light" somewhere between 50-75, I set mine to 50.
5) If you want you can select the move tool again, and move "Light" again, to your preference.
6) Now go back to your 1st layer, and duplicate it. Name it "Very Light".
7) In your layers palette move "Very Light" on top of "Light".
8) Select the move tool again and move "Very Light" a bit to the left of right (depending on your picture) from "Light".9) Set the opacity (transparency) of "Very Light" from 25-50, I put mine to 25.
10) If you want you can select the move tool again, and move "Very Light" again, to your preference.
11) Merge the layers and your are done!

Also try it with a white outline or stroke.
So you've probably seen those really cool stroke effects in Photoshop, but I am going to show you how to do it in Paint Shop Pro!
1) Start with your basic image.
2) Now open a new, blank file, bigger than your picture
i.e. My flower is 200 * 200 pixels, so the new file should be bigger, or the same size.3) Fill it with the color outline you want.
4) Now I will go back to my flower image, do a Ctrl + A to select all, Ctrl+ C to copy, and then go to your file with the outline color, and paste as selection (Ctrl + E)
5) Now go to Selections > Modify > Expand and set the number of pixels to 1-3 depending on how big you want your outline to be.
6) Click ok, copy it, and paste it as a new Image.
Yay! You have an outlined image in Paint Shop Pro!
5) Use the fill bucket tool, and fill in every letter.
3) Copy, and paste, as a new layer in your stack. Now that you have your new layers go to Effects >> Shadow
6) Click ok, and repeat the shadow, except this time select "Drop Right" and set the color to black, Transparency to 0, and edge softness to 3. BEFORE clicking ok, move the shadow similar to what I have below.
7) Click ok, and there you have your slated image!
9) After clicking on the whole image UNDER out slates its time to apply the effect. Go to Effects >> Diffuse Glow and set your settings to mine, or feel free to play around.

So....you can create fancy scanlines in Photoshop, but why not Paint Shop Pro? Actually you can create scanlines WAY easier with a blended effect in....Paint Shop Pro!!!
please comment, and I will do what I can to fix the tutorial.
