Styles/Pattern Box

This tutorial is to show you how to change the patterns in your Styles boxes.  You know them as your Foreground Color, and your Background Color.  But they can do so much more to aid in making your graphics gorgeous.

All you need to do for this tut is to open your PSP, and look over over to the right at your colors box.  Underneath, there is the word "Styles", and 2 little boxes:

When you click on that little black arrow

Your box will open and you will see this:

The Paint Brush,     we already know gives us just colors.  The Gradient box gives us the gradient colors, and the Pattern box is what we are going to use now.  Of course the No box (well that is what I call it, LOL) means just that, no color at all.

OK, when we click on the Pattern box , this Pattern box comes up.

Then we click on the little arrow by the picture, which brings up this display of patterns:

  This display will show everything that is open on your PSP desk top.  So, for this tutorial, I have selected the gradient pattern.  When I click on it, I get the Pattern box back, with my selection in it.

I am using no angle, and the Scale is 100%.  I click on OK, and my pattern shows up in my Styles box,

so I can use the paint can to flood fill my image.

I hope this tutorial has helped you understand your PSP a little better.  I am not a professional tutorial writer, just trying to share what little I do know with others.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
