********************************

This can be adapted for PSP8 and PSP9


Click on the image below
of Marissa Hargitay
and save the larger image to a folder on your computer







********************************

Open up the image in your PSP workspace
Go to LAYERS >>> Promote to Layer

Go to LAYERS >>> NEW RASTER LAYER
Flood fill with a solid colour
(I used LILAC #CDAFC1 )

Go to LAYERS >>> ARRANGE >>> SEND TO BOTTOM

Go to your LAYER PALETTE
Click on Layer 1 to activate


Go to IMAGE >>> RESIZE
Ensure "Resize All Layers" is UNCHECKED







Click on your FREEHAND (Lasso) TOOL
SETTINGS




Work your way around the image as shown below
No need to be too precise




When you join up with the beginning of your section
Right click your mouse

Your image should look like this




Go to SELECTIONS >>> INVERT
Go to EDIT>>> CLEAR
DESELECT

Go to COLOURS >>> POSTERIZE
Set the LEVEL = 40

Click OK

Go to EFFECTS >>> NOISE >>> EDGE PRESERVING SMOOTH
AMOUNT OF SMOOTHING = 16

The left side is BEFORE Posterize and Edge Preserving Smooth



Pretty KEWL... Huh??!!

OK... now you can delete the bottom layer Layer 2,
if you wish and save the image as a .psp file


TIP: When doing this with other images of your own
play around with the POSTERIZE and EDGE PRESERVING SMOOTH settings.
Every image will need different settings to achieve
a good result.
You can also create this effect on ready made tubes *S*
