Part 1 - Using Selection Tools
This is one of Thomas Kincade's beautiful paintings.
I just had to deform his ears to make them smaller and give him arms, a tie, and a hat. He was just too bare looking without them. LOL Then I thought he needed a background. He's not exactly dressed for the snow, but he's only going to the mailbox so won't be out long. ROTFL (Also, he has a bad case of the "jaggies"!)
Part 2 - The Flood Fill Tool
| I made this gradient for the Fourth of July. The words are my response to the terrorist attacks of September 11. | I used the autumn gradient with the sunburst. The cute witch tube is from a graphic I got last year near Halloween. I thought she was so cute that I made this part of the assignment into a sig tag. | |

| I'm not sure whether or not I made this gradient. It is called Rainbow. I know I made one for PSP 6, but it may have been deleted when I uninstalled PSP 6 to install PSP 7. This one may have come with PSP 7. ????? I thought a rainbow gradient needed an umbrella. | I made this gradient using the three colors for Christmas. I called it Christmas (and made this one today). I used red, white, and green - the colors associated with Christmas. The candle is a tube from a graphic I made. | |

This gradient is foreground/background with settings of red and blue. The stars are from a tube I made using stars from the shape tool.
The background is the frosted glass pattern and the text uses the red lava pattern. I used "cutout" for the text.
I used a white background and the orange layer uses crumpled paper. The text is Daze texture. The pumpkins are a tube, as are the cats.
Part 3 - Layers
I use layers in nearly all the graphics I do. All of the ones in Part 2 above were done with layers. The first graphic in this section is a screen capture of the layer palette showing the nine layers.
| Here is the entire graphic with the settings as shown above. | Here is the graphic showing the bottom three layers. | |

| I merged the nine layers into three and then alternated them. | ||

Here is a graphic and its layer palette of something I did for another class recently.
Just playing around! This graphic is made from three graphics I received for a WET in another class. I hadn't done anything with them before. Tonight I resized the Statue of Liberty and the eagle and dragged their layers onto the flag and changed their transparency percentages, adding the text on a fourth layer. To cut down on loading time, I compressed it so much that it is a little "fuzzy"!
Part 4 - Odds and Ends
Am I on a jag - or what? Well, after all, it is getting close to Halloween, and I just love cute little jack-o-lanterns. (These are from a tube. But then you already knew that, since I used it above.) Click on the graphic to see it on a page with a different color background. (Proving it is transparent. LOL) Even though I made the tolerance 100 for the transparency, it still has the jaggies a little.
Here is a picture of a darling little kitten that I scanned from a birthday card. Compression factor of 70 made little difference in quality but a big difference in size.
