SUPPLIES NEEDED
Paint Shop Pro - I used Version 8
Any version should work.
Unzip the filters and extract
into your plugin folder.

presenting are only guides.
This can be done with any size.
The following is what I use.
To get started, have your PSP
open.
1. File/New/New Image

Transparent, OK
2. Flood Fill tool

Tolerance - 20
Blend Mode - Normal
Opacity - 100
Foreground - color
Background - color
3. Preset Shape
Ellipse/Anti-alias checked
Create as Vector checked
Line style - solid
Width - 7.00
(this is what I'm using for this
tutorial)
4. With your Foreground on color
and Background null, draw out a
circle.
To keep it round,
press down the "shift" key while
drawing it out.
5. Object/Align/Center in Canvas
6. Layers/Convert to Raster Layer
7. Effects/Plugins/MuRa's Filter

This is what I have with these
settings.

Let's erase those end pieces. Use
either the Eraser tool
or use the Selection tool, select
the ends, and press
delete and those will disappear.
8. Preset Shape tool with these
settings
Rectangle, Anti-alias checked
Create as Vector checked

set Foreground & Background
to same color

width and length you desire

so much more
that can be done.
