Radial Twirl Tutorial (PSP7)

[Stinky666]

This tut was amde by me, and it is my first tutorial ever made my self. So please dont go too hard on me.....
This tutorial is for PSP 7 only, but if you can get it to work in PSP 6, PSP 8 or any other PSP, then that will be fine, and please let me know if it works in any other PSP....
I havent tested it on any other PSP cus i use PSP 7....

Here we go:


1.) Start off by making a 600x600 image, with a transparent background.
2.) Left click on the "flood fill" icon which is located to the left hand side of the screen, and then right click on it and go to "tool options" click on tool options, and use these settings:

Blend Mode: Difference
Match Mode: RGB Value
Tolerance: 100
Opacity: 80

Click Ok....

3.) Click on the forground arrow color thing, which is located to the right hand side just under the colors, (Make sure the background color is set to "black") select the gardient option and use the following settings:

Gradient: Metallic
Style: Radial Gradient
Horizontal: 50
Vertical: 50
repeats: 6
Invert Gradient: Unchecked
Click Ok

Your forground and background colors should now be looking like this:

4.) Now left click on the empty transparent image 3 times. Then go to Effects> Geometric Effects> Twirl and change the degree's to -720 (Minus 720, not 720)
Then click ok

5.) Now right click on the image as many times as you want, the more you right click the darker the image gets (I right clicked only once)

6.) Now left click on your forground color, the one that has the gradient selected, and click on the drop down arrow, and choose the Autumn Gradient, then use the same settings as in step 3, which are:

Style: Radial Gradient
Horizontal: 50
Vertical: 50
repeats: 6
Invert Gradient: Unchecked
Click Ok

You should have it looking like this:

7.) Now randomly left and right click as many times as you wish, untill you get something that you like. Once You have done this, go to color>colorize (Or press Shift+L) and then choose which ever hue and saturation you want.
(It is optional to end here)

8.) we are just going to add a simple 3 pixel border to add that little extra effect. Go to Image> Add Borders. And use the following settings:
Top: 3
Bottom: 3
Left: 3
Right: 3
(It doesnt matter if Synmatic is checked or unchecked)

Now click File> Export GIF Optimizer. And then a box should appear, dont edit anything, just click ok, anfd then name the image whatever you want and click save.......

Here is what i got at the end of it all:

(NOTE: You wont always get the same image, and you wont get the same as me. At step 3 and 6, you may use different gradients, and a different Background color to get different effects)
