This tutorial was written using
Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7. It can be done
in version 8 with slight modifications. Get a
trial version here.
My zipped file. Get it here.
Unzip my ice cream canvas to a folder.
Remember to save often!


1. Open the CM Dish of Ice Cream canvas.

2. Click on the Bowl layer. Selections>Load from Alpha Channel>CM01bowl. Flood Fill with your choice of color. I used #95A2C2. Leave selected and invert. Apply a Drop Shadow of,
V=0
H=2
Opacity=50
Blur=11.1
Color=Black
Deselect.

3. Click on the Bowlrim layer. Selections>Load from Alpha Channel>CM02bowlrim. Fill with color of choice. Invert the selection and apply a Drop Shadow of,
V=0
H=2
Opacity=36
Blur=11.1
Color=Black
Deselect. This is what you should have so far.

4. Click on the icecream layer. You want the bowl and rim above the ice cream. Selections>Load from Alpha Channel>CM03icecream. Fill with color #F8F4EA. Invert and apply a Drop Shadow of,
V & H=0
Opacity=60
Blur=37
Color=#EBDE90
Deselect.
Effects>Noise>Add use setting of 8 and Uniform checked. If using version 8 you may want to experiment a little by using a lower number to see what looks best. Duplicate this layer three times. Starting from the bottom up rename them Scoop1, Scoop2, Scoop3, and Scoop4. Hide Scoop2, 3, and 4. Using your Mover tool move Scoop1 to the left edge and down a little. Show Scoop2 and leave it where it is. On the Scoop3 layer resize that layer only to 85%. Move it to the right. On Scoop4, resize it to 90% and move it down a little. I've numbered the scoops so you can see my placement. Feel free to do your own placing.



5. Now to get rid of the excess bowl rim. You may need to zoom in...I did. I also lowered the opacity of the rim layer to around 28 so I could see the ice cream through it.
Using your Lasso tool set to Point to Point, Feather 0, and Antialias checked, click along the icecream scoop edge then back around to the edge. Press Delete once and repeat on the other side. Set the Layer opacity back to 100% when you are finished.



You can now merge your layers and tube your dish of ice cream.
I hope you have enjoyed making your ice cream.
