This is what we will be making. All the settings shown here,

are just a guide. Your actual creation will be in color. :-)

SUPPLIES NEEDED

Paint Shop Pro - I used Version 8

Any version should work.

Unzip the filters and extract into your plugin folder.

MuRa's Filter Meister - zip here

Greg's Factory Output Vol II Pool Shadow - zip here

Note: The settings I am 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

600 X 400 Pixels

100.000 Resolution

Raster Background

16 Million colors ( 24 bit )

Transparent, OK

 

2. Flood Fill tool

Match Mode - None

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 Meister/Copies

 

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

 

9. Material Palette - For solid color

set Foreground & Background

to same color

 

10. Draw out your rectangle

width and length you desire

 

11. Object/Align/Horizontal Center in Canvas

 

12. Layers/Convert to Raster Layer

 

13. Layers/Merge Visible

 

14. Effects/Plugins/Gregs Factory Output Vol II

with these settings

Diagonal - 72, Center - 61, Horizontal - 52, Diagonal - 132

Horizontal - 89, Vertical - 95, Intensity - 71, Lightness - 80

OK

 

15. Effects/Texture Effects/Texture ( optional)

OK

 

 

 

And you have a Scalloped Ribbon! Super!!

This is a simple version. There's so much more

that can be done.

 

Decorate to your own taste.
