Let's create the rainbows first...then we'll create something with one of them. *S*

In your MATERIALS PALETTE
Load the ' CatoeCountryRainbow ' gradient in your foreground
using the settings below.



Load BLUE ' #acbed6 ' in your background

Open a new image 500 x 500
Transparent background

Choose your SELECTION TOOL then click on the CUSTOM SELECTION symbol
and enter these coordinates.



Flood fill the selected area with Gradient.

DESELECT

EFFECTS >>> DISTORTION EFFECTS >>> POLAR COORDINATES



IMAGE >>> RESIZE = 90 %
Ensure "Resize all layers" is UNCHECKED
Resample using WEIGHTED AVERAGE

VIEW >>> RULER

Choose your SELECTION TOOL
Selection Type = Rectangle
Mode = Replace
Feather = 2 0
Antialias = UNChecked

Draw a rectangle starting from 0 pixels across and 0 pixels down
to 200 pixels down and 500 pixels across.

The lower part of the rectangle will be at 220 down because of the feather setting

DESELECT

Reposition with your mover tool to the middle of your image

Save as .psp image




WINDOW >>> DUPLICATE
MINIMIZE the original Image

Select your DEFORMATION tool

PSPX-X3:Select your PICK tool



With your SHIFT KEY depressed move the top right node upwards
to around the 5 pixel mark on the left ruler
and the bottom right node upwards to around the 100 pixel mark on the left ruler.




Drag the lower centre node down to the 300 pixel mark on the left ruler,
then depressing the SHIFT key drag the lower right node up to the 100 pixel mark on the left ruler.

Click the RESET RECTANGLE arrow

Click your MOVER tool to disengage the DEFORMATION / PICK TOOL



Save as rainbow1.psp image

Now, by duplicating your original rainbow image and using the
DEFORMATION / PICK TOOL you can create lots of different shaped rainbows.
Your imagination is your best friend. *S*
