Simmer Pot Tutorial

This was done in PSP 6

This tutorial uses selections download here, layers and Eye Candy. Remember
to save your work often. I lost count of the times I wish I had
remembered to do that. Download the selections and unzip them
using winzip. Then place them into a folder where you can
find them when you want them.

Open a New Image, 400X400, transparent, 16 mil colors. Add
a new layer, name it base. Now go to Selections / Load from disk
(find the folder you unzipped your downloaded selections to.
Open the gbase.sel

Fill the selection with white / or the color of your choice.

Deselect, Click on your mover tool and postition the base near
the bottom of your image, centered.

Click on the Slection Tool..... Ellipse...feather 0....Antialias checked.

Go to Edit.... Cut... Then Paste as a new layer. Drag this layer Under
your Base layer.

You will have to reposition this new layer. Deselect.
Now click on the base layer...Now click on the Selection tool
Circle...Feather 0 ... Antialias Checked. Now make a circle
centered on your base. Go to Edit..Cut.. leave this area selected.

Add a new layer, name it Gray....Go to Selections/Modify/Expand by 3
and flood fill with a light gray. Drag this layer under your Base layer.

On this Gray layer... make another circle slightly smaller and offset.
Go to Edit / Cut. Deselect.

Click on the base layer. Click on the Slection tool.. Ellipse..feather 0
Antialias checked. Make an Ellipse around the top of the base picking up
the lip of the base, then click on the lip to select it,

Add a layer and name it cutout.

Now turn off all layers except the base and the cutout. Merge Visable,
and rename this layer Base. Select the base layer again as you did before.
Now add another layer, name it cutout and
apply these settings.

Now merge the base and the cutout layer and rename Base.
Now go to Image/Effects/Inner Bevel.

With the base layer still selected... Go to Eye Candy / Glass
I applied these settings..but play around and experiment and
have some fun with it. Try using different colored glass effects.

Deselect.
