Masks II
*Note* This page is graphics
heavy, please give it time to load.
This is a really easy tutorial.
I have chosen something fun to make. In this session, we are
going to load our mask from the disk.
You will need Paint Shop Pro, and
this zip file. Just click
here, save it to your hard drive,
open the mask file and put it in your PSP mask folder. In
order to get there, click on My Computer, Program Files, Jasc
Software, Paint Shop Pro. If there is not a Mask folder there
already, just make one and save your mask there. The color
picture is actually a gradient, but for this we need to have it open
in PSP.
If you don't know how to load
pictures in your Pattern box, go
here for a mini tut.
OK, so we have everything ready,
lets go. Like I said, this is just a simple, fun little
butterfly mask, but you follow every step in this that you would in
any other mask that you would want to use. Here is our
finished graphic:
Open up a new image, 250 x 300,
flood fill it black.
Add a New Layer. Load your
Styles Pattern box with the multicolored image and flood fill your
new layer with it.
So now you have 2 layers, one solid
black, and the top one multicolored.
Now go to Masks, Load from disk
This box will pop up, and just
select the mask you want. In this case, it is the
butterfly.msk
Your butterfly will show up like
this:
So we will go back to Masks, and
Invert it.
Now our butterfly is more colorful.
But we need to go back to Masks and
Delete the mask.
Which gives us a box asking if we
are sure we want to merge the mask image with the layer beneath it.
Then we go to Layers, Merge, All
(flatten)
This is all the steps to applying a
mask, but we will continue with finishing our image.
