| For this tutorial you will
need: ULead PhotoImpact - available for purchase here or Adobe Photoshop - available for purchase here or Adobe Photoshop Elements - available for purchase here or Jasc Paint Shop Pro - available for purchase here This tutorial will work in any of these programs. Filters and Materials needed Simple filters - Quick Tile - available free here Mura Seamless - available free here (middle of page) Fantastic Machines Paint Engine - available free here (Optional) FM Tile Tools - Blend Emboss - available as a trial here (7 of these filters continue to work when trial is over, Blend Emboss is one of them) My plugin windows may look different from yours as I use Filters Unlimited 2 to manage my plugins - available for purchase here. I am assuming you know the basics of your graphics program and where the tools can be located. Some abbreviations I used: PSP is Paint Shop Pro, PI is PhotoImpact, PS is Photoshop, and PSE is Photoshop Elements. |
