Tubes :
(*) If you recognize them as one of your own, please let me know, so I can add your name or remove the tube.
THEMA
BOOTS
You need a tube of a woman/man/child with boots on (so a full tube with feet!)
I use a tube from LB
1/ BL45_KaD_Element1
2/ BL45_KaD_Element2
Alpha Selections : open in PSP and minimize
1/ 1/ BL45_KaD_Alfakanaal (this image is not empty – it contains alpha selections)
Color palette :
If you work with your own colors, make your own color palette with the alpha channel,
so you can easily switch between your colors.
There are color differences in the different versions of Psp.
Therefore, use the html codes of the color palette to be sure,
that you have the same colors. Also when merging layers, there may be color differences.
Plugins :
1/ VanDerLee – Unplugged-X – 45° Rectangle
2/ AP [Innovations] – Lines – Silverlining
3/ AAA Frames – Foto Frame
