Grab Bag 1

By now you should have an idea of the size of PSP and all of the things that are available to you.  If you aren't sure of anything in PSP and you haven't already, take a look at this tutorial for an overview of everything that is available in the programme.  

We're going to be having a bit of fun with this tutorial.  Maybe "tutorial" is the wrong word... we're going to be having a bit of fun and refreshing our memories about what we've learnt in the tutorials so far.  With this one, just let your imagination take control.  I'm not going to be telling you how to do anything... just allow yourself to go with the flow.  

Do whatever you want with these images - frame them, warp them, add borders - whatever you like!  :o)

You will need:

A copy of PaintShop Pro - you can download a 30 day trial version from here

A copy of Winzip - you can download it from here

This zip file (the tubes should be compatible with PSP versions 5, 6 and 7).  Unzip it to somewhere on your hard drive

There's a small selection of .gif's, .jpg's and .psp files in this zip file.  We're going to be playing around with the various things that are in there and letting our creativity flow.  

Without looking back at the previous tutorials, see what you can make with the things I've included in this zip file... don't worry if you can't remember something, just go back and have a look - the most important thing with this one is to give your memory a bit of a refresher course and try and combine a few of the things you've learnt so far.  

Working with PSP is supposed to be fun and in the early stages when you're trying to learn everything all at once it can get very frustrating and you start to think about giving up.  Use the things in the zip file to help to remind yourself how far you've come and how much you've already learnt... allow yourself to have a bit of fun!  :o)

Now for the legal bit  :o(

As far as I know, everything that is in the zip file is in the public domain and is copyright and royalty free.  If you know otherwise please let me know and I will be only too happy to take it out.

The various things I have zipped up I have either tubed/made myself or they have come from websites that don't require a link back and don't mind their tubes being used like this.  Again, if you know differently, please let me know and I'll be only too happy to take it out.

Please *DO NOT* just take this zip file and pass it through a mailing list or group without my permission - I've taken the time and trouble to put this zip file together... please don't just steal my work.  I'm trusting you not to steal my work (ie this zip file) and pass it through groups... if I find out this is what you've done, you *and your group* will end up on my Wall Of Shame
