This Tutorial was created using Corel's Paint Shop Pro® with the understanding
that you have a working knowledge of this program.
(I used PhotoX2 but you should
have no trouble recreating it with earlier versions of PSP)
**Program Tip: you can click and drag open items onto a working canvas, in order
to do this you need to have your layers palette open then just select the layer you want then click and drag it to your canvas**
Open a new image 600w X 500h
