I've had psp for a couple of months now and I've been playing with it/looking at tutorials, but I still can't make good graphics out of it ><;;;

Well anyways, I would like to know, is it possible to make good graphics from paint shop pro? Like layouts such as this one http://summer-skies.net/preview/117/index.html and basically amazing graphics. If you have ever been to Elysium (it closed down so I can't put the link) their graphics is amazingly amazing. So pleeeease tell me, is it possible in paint shop pro?

The Web site you linked to shows that their header is really composed of a basic image, tons of brushes, and perhaps a "gaussian blur" -- all possible on PSP.

Thanks^^ Can you look at this layout? http://www.blindhope.hybrid-rhapsody.net/main.php?page=blog it is Mel's blog (Mel was the webmistresses of Elysium) Do you think this is possible in psp? Especially the little grids things and such, pwwease tell me if it's possible^^ Thankies^^

The "grid things" are definitely possible. I've done it before on PSP. It's just a matter of creating a transparent document and screencapping it so that you catch the "boxes". Other effects look like the "dotted overlay" effect, and brushes or images. All possible if you really work at it.

Thanks very much! I don't understand the transparent document and screencapping though, what kind of transparent document must it be?

Uh, just a raster transparent document.

Ooooh okay ^^ I have one more question though, I cannot find the effect "dotted overlay" can you please tell me where to find it? ^^;;;;

It is not a preset effect. It is something you have to create.

I'm not sure with version of PSP you have, but it's all the same thing anyway.

Thanks!!! You helped me so much! *hugs tokyo_bleu* thankies thankies thankies!

omg thanks that is so cool, i'm going to try on my psp 9. i hope the steps aren't to different

does anyone know where merge is on psp9?

I use PSP8, but my merge options are under "Layers" on the top toolbar. You should probably have the same thing.

i have psp9 too ^^ for merge you just go to Layers> Merge> then pick what you want to merge

thanks everyone

I have a question about PSP. It's kind of a dumb one, but I'm brand new at it. How do you get the working screen big enough so that you can move a image to the side? I try moving images and they dissapear because I can only move it as far as the picture border. Does that make sense? I'm trying tomake blends and stuff, but I can't blend things together if I can't move things around. Thanks. :)
