This tutorial, created with PSP9, was translated with PspX9 and PSP2020, but it can also be made using other versions of PSP.
Since version PSP X4, Image>Mirror was replaced with Image>Flip Horizontal,
and Image>Flip with Image>Flip Vertical, there are some variables.
In versions X5 and X6, the functions have been improved by making available the Objects menu.
In the latest version X7 command Image>Mirror and Image>Flip returned, but with new differences.

For this tutorial, you will need:


(you find here the links to the material authors' sites)




consult, if necessary, my filter section here
Blur - Radial Blur here
Mura's Meister - Copies, Perspective Tiling here
Virtual Painter - Virtual Painter 4 here
FM Tile Tools - Blend Emboss here




You can change Blend Modes according to your colors.

In the newest versions of PSP, you don't find the foreground/background gradient (Corel_06_029).
You can use the gradients of the older versions.
The Gradient of CorelX here



Copy the Preset Shape in the Preset Shapes Folder.

1. Open a new transparent image 1000 x 900 pixels.

2. Set your foreground color to the dark color #6f1000
and your background color to the light color #d2c9ba



2. Activate your Preset Shape Tool
Look for and select the shape SK Random 90 with these settings
Styled Line Opposing Arrowheads-Overlap



The styled line was in older versions of PSP and is not found in the newer ones.
I added it to the material, in case you don't have it on your PSP
(copy it in the Styled Lines Folder).

Place the mouse at 50x50 pixels and drag until 950 pixels
And, without moving the mouse, drag down to 400 pixels

With the new versions - I translated the tutorial with PSPX9 and PSP2020,
the result is a little different
