nansonsplace - Wildheart's Work's

My first space scape ever attempted the tutorial helped.

Jul 1st, 2007 Posted in gradients, nansonsplace, paint shop pro, tutorial, tutorials | one comment »

This was done from how to create a background tutorial from yet again nansonsplace.com. I added the sparkles and the transparent orbs.

The reason I am doing this series- if you will -on nansonsplace in particular is because nansonsplace does an extensive amount of tutorials with gradients and I also love working with gradients because they give a design a very unique feel and look. Especially when you find the more metallic ones like gold,silver,copper, and bronze. When I finished my Web Tech U paint shop pro courses I looked for places online that focused on gradient tutorials and I came across nansonsplace and it was a great way to sink my teeth into the meat of paint shop pro and get my hands dirty and my creativity going.

See I like to do an equal amount of trying to make my own stuff and trying tutorials because if you don’t try tutorials then you can’t ever learn how they do that in the world of digital design. The tutorials give you the skill set needed to help you grow as a designer especially in the early stages of your career. Now I am not getting paid yet to do digital design but I have been doing this long enough and have seen changes in my skills drastically since I first bought paint shop pro 9 and today.

Old Paper Texture Tutorial( a couple of adjustments)

Jun 30th, 2007 Posted in nansonsplace, old paper, paint shop pro, paint shop pro 9, textures, tutorial | no comment »

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.

Free Frames for Paint Shop Pro Series 1 of 3

Jun 25th, 2007 Posted in frames, gradients, nansonsplace, paint shop pro, paint shop pro 9, paint shop pro tubes, textures, tutorials | 2 comments »

I learned how to make frames from a great tutorial found on nansonsplace.com. The fact that the process really is such an easy one just amazed me. I could spend hours making frames now that I know how to do them. You can make frames with textures,patterns,solid colors,gradients,tubes and brush art. Some I have made with patterns, some with gradients and some a combination of tubes and gradients or tubes and patterns. After revisiting nansonsplace I also noticed that you can add layers to frames too. I will try this some time and see what kind of results I get. For now please enjoy these frames and I hope you take some, but please make sure I get credit for them. Please credit them Wildheart’s Works wherever you use them.

I will give you the link to nansonsplace since I am not sure if copying and pasting their tutorial would qualify as a “Quick Guide” as per their TOU. To add my frames to your paint shop pro program simply right click on the frame you want, click save as, go to your paint shop pro files, find your frames folder click on it and your done. I know for the seasoned paint shop pro user this is a no brainer but there are those who like myself were paint shop newbies at one time that need step by step how to do things.
