This tutorial is my own creation, any resemblance to another tutorial is purely
coincidental. I made it using PSP 7 but it should work in PSP 8.
|
This is an easy and fun tutorial. The possibilities are endless. Have fun
playing with different letters and different fonts. I used Blade Pro for the design
above but it is optional. The samples at the bottom of the page were done with PSP
Inner Bevel.

Open a 400x400 black image. Add a new raster layer. We will be working with
the transparent layers. I used a black background layer so the white text would
show. It can be deleted later.
|
Click on the text button and use the settings below. I chose the capital Y,
French Script, size 72 with the colors set to White.
|
|
Go to the Layers Pallet, right click on the text layer and select Duplicate.
Go to Images and select Flip then Images/Mirror. See below.
|
|
You should now have something that looks like the image below. Use the Move tool to
line them up with a small space between them. X out the black background layer and
Merge Visible the other 2 layers. Name it Layer1
|
|
Now for the fun! Duplicate Layer1 and name it Layer2. Select layer2 and go to
Images/ Rotate and use the settings below I used Right/Free/45 with All Layers
UNCHECKED. It should look like the sample below.
|
|
|
Now duplicate the Layer2 and name it Layer3. Repeat the Images/Rotate with
Layer3 the same as before.
|
Duplicate Layer3 and name it Layer4. Repeat the Images/Rotate again. X out the
black backgournd again and Merge Visible all of the other layers.
|
Apply your favorite Blade Pro preset ( I used Autumn on the top one). or you can select it
and flood fill with color of your choice and use a simple PSP Inner Bevel likeI used on
the ones below.
|
That's it! You did it. Now you can merge all flatten or delete the black
backgournd layer and export it as a tube or transparent .gif.
