Sponge Mask Border Tutorial

Download Here!	Step 1. - This part's very simple, just click here to download a .zip file of a mask that we're going to use in this tutorial.
	Step 2. - Now unzip the file, and drag the mask to your PSP Masks folder. If there isn't a folder called "Masks" in your PSP Program Files folder, then make one.
	Step 3. - Open PSP, and open a tube to use for your side border. I used the cute teddy bear picture that you see on the left. The picture should be roughly 100 x 100 in size; if it isn't, you can resize it.
	Step 4. - Now go to Selections, Select All. Then Edit, Copy.
	Step 5. - Open a new image, 200 x 200, 16.7 million colors, with any color background.
	Step 6. - Go to your tube, and select a color on it that you like, and is a medium-dark shade. If there aren't any colors you like on the tube, then find any color that matches with the tube. Set that as your foreground color.
	Step 7. - Go back to your new image, and flood-fill it with the foreground color you just selected. Now Edit, Paste the tube onto the center of the image. Do not de-select.
	Step 8. - Go to Selections, Modify, Expand. Expand it by 30 pixels.
	Step 9. - Go to Image, Crop to Selection.
	Step 10. - Selections, Select None. Now go to Masks, Load From Disk... And open spongemask.msk.
	Step 11. - Open another new image, same size as the last one. Flood fill it with a color a couple shades lighter than your foreground color. (The edges of your image shouldn't be black; I just made mine that way so that it would be visible.)
	Step 12. - Go to the image that you just put the mask on. Go to Edit, Copy. Then paste it onto the image you just opened.
	Step 13. - Crop off the extra edges of the image.
	Step 14. - Set your background color as white, then go to Image, Add Borders, and enter: Top: 50, Bottom: 50, Right:50, Left: 0.
	Step 15. - Use your line tool to draw a line on the right side of your image. Before doing this, set your tool controls to a width of 10 and uncheck the box "antialias".
	Step 16. - Use your magic want to select the line you just drew.
	Step 17. - Apply BladePro or buttonize the line. It's your choice on what preset or value to use.
	Step 18. - Crop off the extra white now.
	Step 19. - Now go to Image, Add Borders again, this time making them Top: 0, Bottom: 0, Left: 0, Right 1100.
	Step 20. - Flood-fill the border with a color of your choice. I tend to use a color that's a shade lighter than my other light color.
