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!
Below is how mine turned out. It may help you. If you find a part of this tutorial unclear,
please comment, and I will do what I can to fix the tutorial.
1) Go to Effects >> 3D Effects >> Inner Bevel
2) Set your settings similar to mine
3) Go to Effects >> 3D Effects >> Drop Shadow
4) Set your vertical and horizontal offsets to 3.
5) Do my stroke tutorial setting the color to a VERY similar color of your brush, and number of pixels to 1.
6) You're done! Any questions leave a comment, and I will try to update the tutorial.
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!
