learning the basics of PSP 9

Well I'm going to try and teach you the basics that well first time uses dont really know.

What is a selection tool and what is the text tool, where is the crop tool, how do i crop the picture?

Wow all so much to take in and well, it's so simple to get lost in the tutorials that are well explained for those who know where everything is, but become very time consuming when you dont.. I know i have been there myself too.

I've decided to do this tutorial, with a LOT of screenshots, so you know exactly where something is and know what it does

well start of with our text tool open a new image click on the on the side tool bar and you see a box like this appear.

in this box you write the text that you want to appear on the image.If you highlight this text you can change the size, font and coulor of the text without having to close the box, this allows you to see what they look like before applying it to the final product.

Coulor

well here is one of the biggest things that allow us to create such stunning images. if you right click on either the foreground or background coulors it will bring up this box.

you can choose your clour by moving your mouse over the coulor chart until you have your desired coulor.

you also have 2 other tabs, GRADIENT and PATTERN. this allows you to change the effect of the coulors aswell.
