In this tutorial you'll create some great, unique backgrounds for your Tags,
from artwork you'll find around the Internet.

. VIEW >>> RULERS

Open up the 3180633_illustration.jpg image in your PSP workspace
WINDOW >>> DUPLICATE
Minimize the original Image
LAYERS >>> Promote background layer

EFFECTS >>> IMAGE EFFECTS >>> OFFSET
(These setting were chosen randomly except for the "Custom" option)

Hmmm... doesn't look very unique... does it...???

EFFECTS >>> IMAGE EFFECTS >>> OFFSET
This time check the "Center" option and Edge Mode = REPEAT

Now... isn't this much better???? *S*

Save as .psp image

Maximize the 3180633_illustration.jpg image in your PSP workspace
WINDOW >>> DUPLICATE
CLOSE the original Image
LAYERS >>> Promote background layer

Let's try another from this image.

EFFECTS >>> IMAGE EFFECTS >>> OFFSET
This time check the "Center" option and Edge Mode = WRAP

Boring..... *S*

EFFECTS >>> IMAGE EFFECTS >>> OFFSET
This time check the "Center" option and Edge Mode = REPEAT

Again... a different result *S*

Save as .psp image

O.K. let's try one we could use for a Birthday Tag.

Open up the ballons (10).jpg image in your PSP workspace
WINDOW >>> DUPLICATE
Close the original Image
LAYERS >>> Promote background layer

EFFECTS >>> IMAGE EFFECTS >>> OFFSET
Check the CENTRE and REPEAT options

Now you have a pretty background for your Birthday or Celebration tag *S*

Save as .psp image

This time we'll use something slightly different.
This has a couple of gold designs we may want to utilise in our background.

Open up the Floral Damask1.jpg image in your PSP workspace
WINDOW >>> DUPLICATE
Close the original Image
LAYERS >>> Promote background layer

EFFECTS >>> IMAGE EFFECTS >>> OFFSET
Check the CENTRE and REPEAT options

DO NOT 'APPLY' THE OFFSET EFFECTS SETTINGS >>> READ ON FIRST

OOPS... the gold isn't quite right....

What we need to do is lower the position of the gold decoration

Reduce the setting for the Vertical Offset

Click OK

and this is what you end up with.

Save as .psp image

FINALLY, let's try this with a tube.....
It won't work with all tubes, particularly NOT misted tubes.

Open up the kikirou1600 - paysage medieval.pspimage image in your PSP workspace
WINDOW >>> DUPLICATE
Minimize the original Image

Close RASTER 2
ACTIVATE RASTER 1

EFFECTS >>> IMAGE EFFECTS >>> OFFSET
Check the CENTRE and REPEAT options

DO NOT 'APPLY' THE OFFSET EFFECTS SETTINGS >>> READ ON FIRST

Hmmm.... would look better if more of the castle was showing...

Increase the HORIZONTAL setting to move the image to the right side.
Decrease the VERTICAL setting until the turret on the castle is in full view.

Now you have something a little different for your fantasy tag.

Let's try this with the right side of this image... and we'll make a tag out of it *S*
