View Full Version : Banner Tutorial - Paint Shop Pro
PAINT SHOP PRO TUTORIAL!!!!I have version 9.0 but i think they are all the same really!!!
Lots of people have been asking how do make banners and Kat has explained but i thought i might as well do one for Paint Shop pro!
This is how i make my banners, and it seems to work!!!
so here goes, http://img259.echo.cx/img259/2350/thisone2kj.jpg
I'll be making that banna (but i'll explain it in the easiest way then you can fiddle around as much as you want)
Firstly, open a new File/docement what ever
-File, new
http://img27.echo.cx/img27/2804/untitled8oj.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
You'll need to make the dimensions about 524 X 124 Pixels!
http://img49.echo.cx/img49/8645/untitled25lk.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Then click ok, you should have a screen like this
http://img49.echo.cx/img49/8445/untitled33ki.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
The Actual Banner (the white thing) may have grey and white squares on it don't worry that is ok!
Next we need Pictures to go on to your banner, so click open and serch for your pictures:
http://img49.echo.cx/img49/8445/untitled33ki.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Once you've clicked on the pics you want they should all be on the screen like this
http://img109.echo.cx/img109/1315/52ed.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
For now minimize all the pics apart from the main white banner and one of your pics (the starting one)
http://img109.echo.cx/img109/1039/62yx.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Now The bit you need to listen to and follow careFullly!!!
Right click onto your picture you want to put onto the banner,
http://img109.echo.cx/img109/8413/71ef.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
and click onto Copy,
Then right click onto your banner, go down to paste then go down to PASTE AS NEW SECTION
http://img109.echo.cx/img109/1714/89xk.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
then move it around until the image is where you want it then left click to secure it ( please note once you have secured it you can not move it around!)
http://img118.echo.cx/img118/6936/93vc1.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
So Now you have your first image so lets move on, minimize the image you just used and bring up the next image
http://img53.echo.cx/img53/9272/100rf.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
anmd we do excatly the same, copy, Paste As New section, but this time place the new picture maybe a bit on top of the one that is al;ready there so in my case Chrissie i'll be Overlapping Jake
http://img53.echo.cx/img53/3650/110fs1.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Dn't worry i have a plan!
on the left side of PSP there are tools,About half way down there is one called the eraser tool, click on this
http://img135.echo.cx/img135/482/121uc.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Then a little circle cursor should appear, move this over to your overlapping banna and click onto it, a message will come up
http://img135.echo.cx/img135/4660/132kb.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Ignore this and click ok
Then go back to the banner, and click on part of the image that is overlapping (the bit that in my case is covering Jake's Face) now you should be able to rub this out, you can just keep clicking the mouse or you can hold it down
http://img135.echo.cx/img135/2442/140nc.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Now You will see that The first picture is being seen again! Carry on erasing until you can see both pictures
(you do not have to do this i just think it makes it lok a bit more bended though!
http://img113.echo.cx/img113/8672/157vf.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
TIP: Make sure you have rubbed out everything you want to, make sure you don't leave little marks over one of the pictures, i have done this before, and well it just makes it harder especially if ya find out at the end!!!
Now carry on and follow the steps agin and paste all the pictures on to the banner,
Until it looks something like this:
http://img143.echo.cx/img143/2309/163gc.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Right now, you have pasted all pics onto the banner, now you have to merge them so first go to Selections (at the top) and go down and click on Select None (sometimes you may have to click on select all then select none)
http://img143.echo.cx/img143/5390/14ew.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Then go to Layers (along the top to) and scroll down to you come to Merge Hover over this for a second until the options come up then Click on Merge All (flatten)
http://img143.echo.cx/img143/1426/24uv.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
All this does is merges the images together so you can add text and stuff!
now that is your banner done, That is how to make a basic banner!
But i'm now going to show you how you do special effects and add Text!
If you want to save the banner as it is make sure you save it as a JPEG image,
So file, Save as, thenm tpye the name you want to acll it then make sure you save it as a JPEG image though oter wise it won't work!
http://img12.echo.cx/img12/2116/30kc.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
http://img157.echo.cx/img157/3682/222hq.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Finished piece so far!!!!!
Right, there are lots of different things you can do to your banners:
Add Text
Add Light
Change Colour
Soften
Add frames
Add pictures from tubes
Use fancy brushes
Rotate
Different Diotortion effects
Add new layers,
Make a top layer see-through (like my banner)
And i'm going to explain how to do these things on another thread that i'm opening, and if there is something i haven't explained please ask and i'll try!

How do you get animation on your banners??????????????????????????????????????????
This is simple enough for even me to understand.
However I'll keep my hands away from it and just ask other people to make me one when I want one.
That's even simpler for me :)

Go to www.imageshack.us the easiest image site I know and use click on browse to locate the pic on your computer and then upload the pic there, it will then give you the link that you can put in your edit signature area using your user control panel. The link you use should have sections like these:
[URL] [IMG}
It normally says "for forums" at the side.
Hope this helps :D

there is one I think on jessie Wallace's, banner thread.
Right to make brushes appear lighter/darker etc you can use this technique!
This is the way i use and i find it quite easy!
Right add a new layer onto your banner before adding any brushes
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/laynelou/tut1.jpg
Just click ok
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/laynelou/tut2.jpg
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/laynelou/tut3.jpg
|Then add your brush as normal
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/laynelou/tut4.jpg
Then right click on the layer you added (its highlighted in blue on the right hand side)
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/laynelou/Image5.jpg
select properties
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/laynelou/Image6.jpg
You will then get a box like this
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/laynelou/Image7.jpg
Select which thing you want, by using the drop down menu’s(it will preview the one you chose in the little box)
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/laynelou/Image8.jpg
I decided on soft light
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/laynelou/Image9.jpg
You can also change the opacity to make it lighter
Et Voila

its a bit of a tight rule really
its a bit of a tight rule really
In some ways it can seem tight but it's better than having a board which is a complete mess, which was what it was before the rule came in with stakked banners all over the place.
People already abuse the rules as it is. People who can have banners and isgnitures make them huge. Thats hardly going to encourage the mods/admin to allow more people to be able to, is it? Its completly justified. If people weren't breaking the rules as it is, then i'm sure it would be allowed for more people to have them.
But this thread is about Paint Shop pro, so lets stop ranting on about the rules. That is what they are, and they aint gonna change. If you dont like them, discuss them in the thread that is about Banner rules, not here.

Well the fact that your saying its tight quite obviously indicates that you dont.

You need to use the cut tool, but I'm not sure how to use it.
I use the tool that looks like a lassoo and it hugs (sort of) the outline, so you click around the picture, and then when you've finished double click inside the pic.
Hope that makes sense, give me a shout if not, and i'll try and explain it better :)
crazygirl
23-06-2006, 20:25
thanks i will give it a try! so if i can do it
CrazyLea
23-06-2006, 20:28
If you cant use that one, I normally use the green looking thing up above the lasso one :p if that makes sense
If you cant use that one, I normally use the green looking thing up above the lasso one :p if that makes sense Oooo which ones that then??! :D
I do what Layne explained in this (http://www.soapboards.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=63223&postcount=4) post, and basically rub the background out, using the eraser tool. I find using the lasso tool can leave jagged edges, so if your patient enough to do this, it can look more professional and blended, compared to the lasso tool. Also, if you want to put the picture onto another background, then this makes them blend more, so it doesn't look so obvious that its on another background.
Anyway, thats what i do.
Little tip, if you are earsing the background, try zooming in! Its easier to do that way :) x
CrazyLea
24-06-2006, 13:46
Yeah I zoom up aswell, as you can see how close to go :p
And also what I said..Ems pointed out that I got the wrong end of the stick :p so ignore me! I either do what Ems does, or the erase thing.
And I only do it the way I do as I find it easier, being a newbie to Paint Shop Pro too - once I've played with it loads no doubt I will try a different method, but for someone new to it, I found it easier, hence my suggestion.
crazygirl

i dont have a steady hand so i keep making mistakes!! but im trying really hard here
CrazyLea
24-06-2006, 16:28
If you are using the erase method, then to get closer to the image without erasing it, then you should use the background eraser....if you click on the erase you should see it. nd if you're using the lasso method, then I'd make sure the selection type was on 'point to point' as it's easier.
I've got psp 8 and I've set the pixels to 500 x 100, but the banners come out to random sizes. Any ideas?
