********************************
This was created using PSP9 but can be adapted for other versions of PSP.

You will need the following to complete this tutorial

Materials

couple83.pspimage
Friend_WA.pspimage
SE_Charms_Heart_6.pspimage
Doodle 050803 d by vaybs.pspimage
Save to a folder on your computer


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

In this tutorial we are going to create brushes from tubes
then use one of the brush tools for a special effect.

We'll create the brushes first.
Brushes cannot be any larger than 500 x 500 pixels

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

Open up the couple83 image in your PSP workspace

FILE >>> EXPORT >>> CUSTOM BRUSH

Name the brush and click OK
(I give it the same name as the tube so there's no chance of it being duplicated at any time)



The brush will be saved in
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\My Documents\My PSP Files\Brushes

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

Open up the Doodle 050803 d by vaybs image in your PSP workspace

(We need to duplicate this image because it has more than one layer
and needs resizing and we don't want to mess with the original tube)

WINDOW >>> DUPLICATE
Close the original Image

Delete the Raster 2 layer

IMAGE >>> RESIZE = 83%
Ensure "Resize all layers" is UNCHECKED
Resample using WEIGHTED AVERAGE

FILE >>> EXPORT >>> CUSTOM BRUSH

Name the brush and click OK




Open up the Friend_WA image in your PSP workspace

FILE >>> EXPORT >>> CUSTOM BRUSH

Name the brush and click OK




Open up the SE_Charms_Heart_6 image in your PSP workspace

FILE >>> EXPORT >>> CUSTOM BRUSH

Name the brush and click OK



OK that's all the brushes created now we'll make use of the brushes.
