Paint Shop Pro 7 Texturing
Objects
Using Paint Shop Pro 7's Geometric
effects you can wrap images around objects. In this tutorial we're going
to work with a simple vertical warp.
| 1 |
|
Find an image that
you can use for a vertical warp. Glasses and mugs are good
choices. I'm not happy with my mug but it's the only one I could
find. Preferably for this project you want something without the
lip at the top like mine has. |

|
Select the Freehand
selection tool and set the selection type to Smart Edge, the
Feather to 0 and make sure antialias is checked. |
| 3 |
|
When using the
Freehand selection tool with Smart Edge enabled you click a
starting point and release. Then move the mouse to the next place
on the edge you want to select and click and release the mouse
button again. Continue doing this until you have your full
selection. Don't worry if you selection goes a little further than
you want as mine did at the bottom of the cup. We can fix that
later. |

Create a new layer.
I chose to use the Paint Shop Pro 7 tubes
for my cup and I used the Corn tube and the Fish tube.
On the new layer I just created I placed a
couple of corn rows. |
| 5 |
|
Then go to
Effects>Geometric Effects>Cylinder Vertical and apply the
effect. I had the effect set to 30%. You can do more or less
depending on how it looks on your image. |

|
I added a new layer
and using the Fish tube added some fish over my first corn rows. I
then applied the Cylinder Vertical warp to that layer.
I added another new layer and place corn
rows on it. Again, I applied the Cylinder Vertical warp to that
layer. |
| 7 |
|
I again added
another layer, placed some fish on it and applied the Cylinder
Vertical warp. |
| 8 |
|
I now have four
layers. Two with fish and two with corn rows. I altered the
transparency just a bit as reflected in the screenshot below. |

|
If you see that
part of your selection is not part of your cup or glass image you
can use the clone tool to clean that up.
The last step is to go to
Selections>Select None.
Go to Layers>Merge All
You now have a finished image to save and
use. |
