This is an old paper texture I learned how to make from yet another nansonsplace.com tutorial. The tutorial works straight across the board for paint shop pro 9 until you hit step 10 of the tutorial. In their tutorial the textured paper already has a blurred look by this point. In version 9 I didn’t get the blurred look until the end when I went in to adjust>soften>soft focus.
In step 12 when you go into adjust the midtone: adjust>brightness and contrast>highlight/midtone/shadow the radio buttons for version 8 read linear adjustment method and dynamic adjustment method where as for version 9 they are called absolute adjustment and relative adjustment. In paint shop pro 9 you want to check relative adjustment. This step is optional as it is just to make the paper effect look a little darker. But I thought it was necessary to point this out if you are using version 9 or higher as their are differences in each version. As I have said before you don’t really notice a major difference in features and interface especially until you jump from version 8 to version 10 though.
<<Final product after making adjustments in version 9
I got paint shop pro 9 my first or second semester of the first year of college and as with all things shortly after I got it Corel came out with version 10 and now they have version 11.
Ok my friend Ev over at My Life is Murphy’s Law tagged me on this one and I am going to try it and see if I do it right so here goes nothing. Some day’s I feel just as technologically challenged as she does so I have to read and re read something several times before it sinks in.

Instructions:
1.) Copy and paste the matrix of ‘ViralTags’ below courtesy of Founders Cafe
2.)Substitute the Host Tag and one of the ‘Viral Tags’ in the matrix with your anchor text of choice with your blog’s URL. Please keep anchor text to a max of 3 words to keep the matrix size manageable.
3.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your link in one of their ‘Viral Tags’, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Tag’s anchor text (automatically the associated link will also be copied) and paste it over one of your ‘Viral Tags’ below.
4.) Encourage and invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.
Important: Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as ‘Host Tag’ here, replacing one of the ‘ViralTags’ from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.
Another successful attempt at a tutorial from nansonsplace.com . I am really pleased with how well this one turned out . This persons tutorials are so easy to follow. There are detailed screen shots of everything. This site gives you very clear and easy to follow steps so that you can recreate the tutorials with ease.
Don’t let the fact that it only supports version 7 and 8 of paint shop pro deter you from trying these tutorials out on version 9,10 and 11. From the way things are set up on version 9 there isn’t much of a difference between version 8 and 9. I would say there is more of a drastic difference between 8 and 10 and even 9 and 10 in the way the interface is set up. Plus in my opinion I have tried version 10 on a trial and to me it feels as if it is geared towards the photo editor type of person. Paint shop pro 7,8 and 9 are more graphic design oriented.
Next installment is another try at a different type of textured paper tutorial.
