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.
Working with Depth
Ok I tried to find the link for my inspiration for this but I can’t at the moment. I am trying to work on putting more depth into my work. I took the tubes in paint shop pro that I used for this and used various sizes of each tube image to get the depth effect I was trying for. I didn’t want the sun to be overly obtrusive instead I wanted it to look like a soft glow in the sky. This took two nights to complete cause it was a lot of detailed work to try and do. I was looking through my bookmarks and have seen many tutorial sites that I have in there so I am going to try my hand at some of the tutorials and see what I can come up with. I never ever do them exactly like they say because I always end up not being able to download this effect or that effect but I do pretty good at getting it close.
