This tutorial is done in PSP 9.
Open a new image 400 X 400 >
Transparent.
Open the MD-courtisane-pattern1.jpg
from the ZIP.
Put your foreground to pattern and find
the opened pattern.
Texture unchecked (blue hand).
Fill the image with the
green pattern
Open the MD-courtisane.psp and copy.
Go back to your frame.
Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.
With your rectangle selection tool
select the part you see on
the screenshot. Start with the white that shows through the glass
half down the ladies face and pull it all the way down to the bottom.
If all went well you must have this:
Now in your Layer Palette select the bottom layer (= blue).
Layer > New raster layer.
Open the MD-courtisane-pattern2.jpg from the ZIP.
Foreground to the white pattern
and look for the white pattern.
Texture unchecked (blue hand).
Fill your selection with the white pattern.
Selections > None.
Open the MD-courtisane-overlay.psp and copy.
Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.
Effects > 3D-effects > Drop shadow > Black.
Repeat the drop shadow but this time Vert. and Horiz. at -
2.
With your magic wand select (feather 0
- tolerance 15) the yellow border.
From this point you can make two border. I will show how for each
one.
I'll start with the first one:
Effects > Reflection-effects > Pattern.
See the example at the bottom of this tutorial.
Or take the second option:
Fill the yellow with the green or white pattern.
Every pattern has a different outcome. Experiment some.
You can also use the gold fill from the ZIP. See what's best.
Effects > Reflection-effects >
Kaleidoscope.
From this point the tutorial proceeds for both frames.
Your Courtesan Frame is
done.
