The Box Tutorial For PSP5

The Box Tutorial For PSP5

There is another one out there that does the same thing. But I never seamed to be able to get it to work so I made one of my own after I figured out the basic's

1) Open a new image 200X200 transparent.

2) Now make a square 100X100 filled using the shape tool. ( keep it in the center).

3) Now go to image + deformations + skew and use these settings. Horizontal = 0, vertical = 20.

4) Now copy and paste as new image. (then go back and undo the skewed image).

5) Now go to image + deformations + Skew and use these settings. horizontal = 20, vertical = -20.

6) Now copy and paste as new image. (then go back and undo the skewed image).

7) Now go to Image + rotate + free set to 45 degrees.

8) Copy and paste as new image. (then go and close the original 200X200 image and don't save).

9) Open a new image 300X300 transparent.

10) Select the first skewed image and copy then paste as new selection (Ctrl + E) on the 300X300 image and move it to the right side not all the way just off to that side.

11) Now open the second skewed image and copy and past as new selection on to the 300X300 image and move it until its like 5 pix from the right side skew but lined up.

12) Now comes the math using your select tool as a guide set it at the left hand side top of the skew (make sure your rulers as turned on by going to view and checking rulers.) Then look at the top ruler and see what number your on, then move your curser to the left top side and see what number you have there, then subtract the first number from the second and write it down. Now put your curser in the center of the V made by the two sides and see what number its at on the side ruler, then move your curser to the top of ether skewed side and see what number the side ruler is showing now. Then subtract the second number from the first and multiply that number by 2 and write it down. should look something like this.

272 - 65 = 207 this is going to be my width

177 - 140 = 37 X 2 = 74 this will by my height

13) now select the rotated image and go to image + resize and using the top set of numbers make it 207 width and 74 height.

Note: if you dont want to go through all this just use your freehand tool set on point to point and make the top freehand it might not be perfect but it will do the job.

14) Then copy and past as new selection onto the 300X300 image then line it up with the two sides leaving a 5 pix space between them.

15) Now if you would like your sides and top to be decorated with a pattern select each one with the magic wand and flood fill it with the pattern you like.

16) Now select the line tool and set it to normal width = 5. Then starting in one of the corners of the top draw a line to the center of the V, Then do the same on the other side, then do the same down the center to the bottom.

Note: you can out line the hole box for a finished look.

The center line is the same as the top ones something happened in pasting it into this mail.

17) Now add tubes or whatever to decorate it to your taste then make sure nothing is selected and then copy and paste as new image.

Then save as jpg and your done.
