I
have
downloaded
a
lot
of
sparkle
tubes
from
different
sites,
but
have
never
been
a
fan
of
having
the
big
air
brushed
circle
in
the
back
of
the
sparkle.
So,
I
set
off
to
see
what
I
might
be
able
to
do
in
PSP
to
make
my
own
Sparkle
tube,
and
was
quite
pleased
with
my
results.
To
obtain
this
result,
we
will
be
utilizing
the
Horizontal
Perspective
in
Geometric
Effects
and
Colorizing
if
you
want
different
colors.
I
will
also
show
you
how
to
save
YOUR
sparkle
as
a
tube.

My
tutorials
are
only
guidelines
to
help
you
accomplish
a
certain
creation.
Please
feel
free
to
be
inventive
and
take
whatever
liberties
you
would
like.
I
encourage
each
of
you
to
do
your
"own
thing"
and
make
your
creation
yours!
Your
finished
creation
is
yours
to
do
with
as
you
please.
This
tutorial
is
written
in
and
for
PSP
Version
7.04
and
assumes
you
have
a
working
knowledge
of
PSP
at
a
beginners
level.
I
am
sure
this
can
easily
be
done
in
Version
6
with
a
few
adjustments
in
paths
but
I
have
only
used
Version
7
so
I
can't
make
promises
*S*
FOR
THIS
TUTORIAL
YOU
WILL
NEED: JASC's

Step
1:
Open
a
new
image
150x150,
16
million
colors,
transparent
background.
Set
your
foreground
color
to
black
and
flood
fill
your
image.
I
do
this
so
you
can
see
your
sparkle
as
you
create
it.
We
will
be
deleting
this
layer
at
the
end
of
the
tutorial.

and
antialias
checked.
Starting

75x75
draw
at
a
circle
approximately
123
pixels.

two
more

Make
sure
you
do
the

this
TWO
times
and
you

palette.
Go
to
your

layer
and
"hide"
it
by
clicking

layer,
on
your

it
and

save
the

etc.
CROPPING
YOUR
SPARKLE:
Depending
on
how
large
you
make
your
sparkle
you
may
want
to
crop
it,
prior
to
tubing
it.
Activate
your
Crop
Tool,

a
rectangle
around
your
sparkle.
Either

Options
Window

double
click
on
your

COLORIZING
YOUR
SPARKLE
You
can
colorize
your
sparkle
in
a
variety
of
ways
depending
on
which
filters
you
have.
You
can
use
Variations,
Harry's
Filters
or
of
course
PSP
Colorize
*S*.
To
use
PSP
Colorize
you
will
need
to
know
the
hue
and
saturation
of
the
color
you
want
to
use.
I'm
using
Yellow
for
this
instance.
Click
on
your
color
palette
and
chose
yellow.
You
will
now
have
hue
and
saturation
numbers
available
to
you.
Go
to
Colors-->Colorize
and
enter
the
hue
and
saturation
numbers
into
their
respective
places.
And
here
is
your
yellow
sparkle.
and
a
pink
one
TUBING
YOUR
SPARKLE:
Go
to
your
layer
palette
and
delete
your
bottom
layer.
That's
the
one
that
isn't
merged
*S*
You
should
now
have
ONE
layer.
Go
to
File-->Export-->Picture
Tube
You
will
get
the
following
window,
the
only
thing
you
need
to
add
is
the
name
of
your
tube:
Isn't
it
fun
to
make
your
own
sparkles
and
not
have
to
download
from
others!
