Wrought Iron Decorating

Written in PSP7
can easly be used for PSP6 also


 

This is the one piece that this tutorial will make.
Go HERE and to the bottom of this page, to see what else you can do, a little imagination can go a long way:)


You will need this zip file, it only contains the selection for the middle of the Wrought Iron column.  Extract it
into your selections folder, if you do not have a selections folder then make one under your PSP folder.

If you would like to draw your own then please be my guest, this is yet one more tutorial to give you an idea:)

Make sure to save often!!



See where it says save often .. right there above this line.  DO IT!!!
I had this tutorial all written, ready to add the
last graphic and what happened??  IT CLOSED and I had not
saved since adding the three graphics above:(  had to do it all over agian.

This tutorial is very easy and will not have a lot of graphics.
Open new image 125, 400.  Transperant, 16 million colors

Go to SELECTIONS, LOAD from disk sher_wrought_decor ... it will be placed in the middle of your new image.

Use what ever color you like as your foreground color, and then use your FILLER TOOL (piant can) to fill the selection with.  CRTL D to deselect

Use your DRAW TOOL (pencil drawing) set it SINGLE LINE at a 6 line width.  Antialias Checked.  Solid line

Draw a line down the right side of what you filled earlier .. use the top graphic as a guide.  You want the line a little above and a little below the middle area.

Now draw another one on the left side.  You want these lines BARELY touching the middle area.

If you do not get the top and bottom lined up just right don't worry .. after you draw both lines then use your selection tool set to rectangle and delete a little off BOTH the left and the right side at the same time .. do this to the top and the bottom if needed.

Now go to EFFECTS, 3D, INNER BEVEL (PSP6 users, go to image, effects, inner bevel) apply the preset METALIC, use the settings that are default or use your own to your liking. Click OK

That's it .. it's done.  Now save it how you want to, I made the little picture below just so you could see it in use.  Now you can make front and back porches to go with your rooms;)  The fence in mine came from THIS TUTORIAL
