Lady of the Forest Lisa's original Dutch tutorials can be viewed here This tutorial was written for PSP XI but can also be done in PSP 9 and X. You need a good knowledge of the program. MATERIALS NEEDED: 4 tubes provided by Lisa   Supplies Download here METHOD:    This is a Blend tutorial. Open all your supplies and save it in your own folders.   If you want to use your own tube it will be a good idea to use a horizontal tube. Apply the 20-20 mask to it first.   Choose two colors from your image: Light color: #e0d7ce Dark color: #7c5337 Make a Sunburst gradient with these settings: Repeats: 3 Center point: 50 / 50 Focul point: 100 / 50 'Link center and focal points'- not checked. Open a new transparent canvas, size 600 x 450 pixels. Fill with the dark color. Add a new raster layer. Fill with the gradient. Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance. Duplicate this layer. Image - Mirror. Change the layer opacity to 50 in the Layers palette. Open the 'mistedL-bos01'- image. Copy and paste as a new layer on the canvas. Move it to the right.   Open the 'mistedL-46'- image. Copy and paste as a new layer on the canvas. You don't have to move it, view the example. Open the 'misted-flowerL06'- image. Copy and paste as a new layer on the canvas. Move it to the left, below the lady tube as seen in the example. Layers - Merge - Merge All. Make a new gradient: Style: Linear Angle: 50 Repeats: 3 Invert: not checked. Add a 1 pixel black border. Add a 20 pixel white border. Select with the Magic wand and fill with the gradient. Effects - Texture Effects - Mosaic Antique: raster / 100 / 100. Mosaic settings: 0 / 1 / 25 / symmetric checked. Deselect. Add a 1 pixel black border. Open the text image. Copy and paste as a new layer on the canvas. You can place it where you want and even rotate it. You can also apply your own text. Add your name or watermark. Resize the image to 400 pixels in width. The Blend is finished! :-)
