Cinderella
(PSP 8, 9 & 10) 
A tutorial by Mar © 2003

This is my first tutorial using PSP 8.
To help you get use to the program, I will use more
pointers, such as the little hands.
I used a blue hand to point out things that can use some extra attention.

What you need are some tubes I did already prepare for you.
Tubes and pattern download here . Open in PSP.
You don't have PSP 8, but want to make this frame
in PSP 7? Download PSP 7 files.
A 30 days trial version PSP download here.

Save often.
Let's go. Good luck.....

1. Open a new image 400 X 400 > Transparent.
If you often use an image (size 400X400) click the
blue diskette (above blue hand) to save your settings.

2. Open  White_Satin.jpg in PSP.
Adjust > Hue and saturation > Colorize.

3. You can save this setting too (f.e as Pink) for
later use (see the little blue hand).
Click OK.
Image > Copy.

4. In your 400x400 image > Selections > All.
Selections > Modify >  Contract 25 pixels.

5. Selections > Invert.
Edit > Paste > Paste into selection.

Copy and paste as a new layer or....
Duplicate in your layer palette.

14. Image  > Flip.

15. Make sure you're on the above layer (check your palette).
Use selection .

16. Select the overlap at the bottom.

17. Hold shift key and select the above overlap as well.

18. Use the selection very precise. Zoom in if you need to.
If you have trouble selecting..... use the eraser size 5.

19. You did select?
 Hit delete once.
Layers > Merge > Merge visible layers.

20. With your magic wand click the transparent parts.

21. Hold shift to select the rest transparent parts as well
Don't forget the little square corners.

it goes into all the selected parts.

29. Open  cinderella.pspimage from the ZIP.

30. This option has moved in PSP8 from 'Effects' to 'Adjust'.
Except if you did load your workspace from 7 to 8!
Adjust > Sharpen > Sharpen.

With mover tool > Put in place.
Use the same drop shadow on the roses.

34. Open the Ster.pspimage from the ZIP.
Copy and paste as a new layer.
With mover tool > Put in place.
Merge all layers.
Notice.... if you merge flatten, you can't colorize the layers
separately so don't merge if you want to do other colors.
If you like a different color, colorize all parts and adjust your fill colors!

Wow.... our first lesson in PSP 8.
Pat yourself on the shoulder.
