THIS TUTORIAL IS WRITTEN FOR PAINTSHOP PRO 9, BUT USERS OF OTHER
VERSIONS SHOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE FOLLOWING IT. You can find the Photoshop
version HERE.
For this tutorial, you will need a zip file of supplies you will need,
which you can download HERE. You will also need the ornaments presets,
which you can find HERE.
Filter to use for the presets are Flaming Pear SuperBladePro. Extract the preset files
to the folder "environments and textures". Make sure you also put the bitmaps there.
1.
Open the file "ornament template.psd". Shift+D to duplicate and close
the original. Ctrl+A+F to select the white circle. Choose an ornament
preset from Effects - Flaming Pear - SuperBladePro and apply it.
In my example, I've applied ks_ornament 255.
Choose one by clicking where the arrow shows. If you need to find the bitmap, just
click "find folder" and look it up and open it.
If you use the same preset as I it should look like this before you click "OK".
