Paint Shop Pro 7 Cutout Tutorial

You'll need Jasc's psp 7 or Jasc.com (download 30 day trial version)
You'll need font. You can download the font Here Install this font into your C:\Windows\Fonts folder. If you are using winnt it should go in C:\Winnt\Fonts
Save this texture image in your hard drive


Ok now let's start
1. Open a new image with 400x65 - 16 million colors, with transparent background.
2. Flood fill your background with solid color -- #A9B9AE
Your image will look green.

Now with the help of text tool add Deco Font or any desired Dingbat font on your solid green background.
Settings should be like this:
foreground color - #A9B9AE
Background color - green texture. Open the green texture image which you've saved in your hard drive. Now add this texture with the help of patern. Click on arrow of foreground color box to select patern icon then click on foreground color box to select green texture (see pic).


Now add DecoBorders font with the help of text tool
Use shift E key for the font. I've kept size - 72 (see settings) click ok.


Your text will look like this

Do not deselect. Now add cutout Effects - 3D Effects - Cutout
Keep Fill interior with color -- unchecked
Shadow color -- Black
Opacity --100
Blur -- 5
Vertical >> -2 and Horizontal >> -2

Now apply the cutout filter again with shadow color -- White and Vertical -- 2 and Horizontal -- 2.

Now Add drop shadow Effects - 3D Effects - Drop shadow
Settings should be like this:
Color -- #636D65


Deselect by right clicking inside the image. Save your file.
That's it you are done!

You can make cutouts with little variation in many ways. Change settings of cutout and drop shadow and see how it works. Here I kept foreground color as solid color instead of texture.
