Spherized Tile



 


For this tutorial you will need:
Jasc Paint Shop Pro - available for purchase here
Funhouse filters - Xaggerate - available free here

My plugin windows may look different from yours as I use Filters Unlimited to manage my plugins. You can purchase it here.
I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located.
 

1. Pick a portion of graphic that you want the colors from, select with the selection tool ; Edit>Copy; Edit>Paste as new image.
Resize to 300X300, lock aspect ratio unchecked.
 

2. Go to Effects>Image Effects>Seamless Tiling; settings as shown:
     Mirror, settings are 1-1-65, Bidirectional


After Seamless Tiling
3. Go to Adjust>Blur>Gaussian blur>5 (in PSP 7 it's in the Effects menu).

4. Go to Effects, Funhouse, Xaggerate, set to 35-35.

5. Go to Effects>Geometric Effects>Spherize>-100 (make sure you pick -100)

5. Go to Effects>Image>Seamless Tiling>same settings as above, which are:
Settings: Mirror, settings are 1-1-65, Bidirectional
