A nice schade of colours
A nice little image

If you want to try to make the above image, then here are
the schade of colours and the little image.



Click with your right mousebutton on the pictures and click
on Save as... and save it.

Do the same with this picture.
Do keep in mind where you save them!



Have you done it?
Okay, then we can start making the funny letters.

Open a new image 450/120 on a transparant background.
Open both pictures you have just saved and leave them
open in the screen.
Click with styles on the highest retangle and put the
colour on black.
Click on the black arrow of the second retangle and click on
the pattern button like the following image shows:



Now click on the screen like shown on the example below
and seach for the pattern with the schade of colours, click
on it and then on OK.

Click on the A and afterwards click on the empty new image,
you will see the following screen in which you have to change
the settings pointed out by the hands:



When you have changed the settings, typ the word you would like
and click OK.



Now the word the coloured letters is in the transparant screen.
Around the letters is a cadre with on the corners and the middle a
square, go with your mouse to the square in the middle.
Now you see your cursor change into 4 arrows to all sides,
with this you can put the word in the right position, like the
following example:



Are the letters on the right spot then click on selections and then
select none and the cadre is gone.
Now we are going to copy the image of the bear and put it on the
letters.
Click on the image of the bear, so the bar above the image turns
blue, then click on Edit and then Copy.
Click again on the screen with the coloured letters, click again on Edit
and then on Past and Past as new Layer.
Now the bear appeared as a new layer with your letters.
With your cursor you can move the image to the wanted position.

Now we are going to merge the layers, click on layers, then on
Merge Visible.
Okay, now the picture is ready, now we have to save it, click on file
and then on Save as... and call the image Image1.psp, click on OK.
To take care the image is saved without background, we have
to open Animation Shop.

Click on the yellow file and search for the imae you have just saved
and open it.
If you have it on your screen you click on File, Save as...
and save it as a GIF.
There will appear a screen in which you can name the image, like
bearletters.gif.
Click on next... and again and again and then on Finish.
Now your picture is ready!
Hopefully you have bene able to follow this lesson well!
