This tutorial was written using Paint Shop Pro 7.

These are two seperate images so you will need to download both selections and save them in a folder of your choice. They can be saved in the same folder if you wish.

Selections 1
Selections 2

This tutorial assumes you have a good working knowledge of PSP and the tools needed.

Remember to save your image often.
