Admin Posts : 148 Join date : 2011-11-29

Textures can be really fun! Because you don't just have to use
them for a paper. You can colorize them and use them on templates, for
materials for scripts...just about anything. In this lesson I'm going to
teach you how to use texture to make something new!

This will be similar to the overlay lesson, so it should be easy

Go to this link and download the textures. Please READ the TOU! These are FTU and CU ok. But ALWAYS make sure you check the TOU

Please download this template as well!

You will see that there are PS patterns. You don't have to worry about those Open any of the textures into PSP.

I'm going to resize this to the usual tagger size of 800x800. I'm sure by now you guys remember how to resize!

The manual correction button is your friend!

This is what I did

Now open your template that you downloaded in to PSP. Minimize your texture too!

Finally, finish colorizing the other pieces and save! Here's what mine looks like!
