Wavy Frame Tag Tutorial Made by Meshi October 31, 2023   NEEDED   Paint Shop Pro (I used XV). Free trial here . No outside filters are needed.   Just a tube! 😊Preferably wider  than tall. (I used an image I purchased through Creative Design Outlet ).   A variation idea: If you would prefer to use scrap kit papers with your tube, rather than make your own patterns, skip steps 20 - 32, placing three scrap papers for the bottom layers. Crop to canvas size afterward. (See step 4 for how to  crop quickly.)   Let's Begin!   1. File > Open Your tube   2. Window > Duplicate (Close the original.)   3. Edit > Copy (for later use)   4.

Faux Mask Tag Tutorial by Meshi   Written September 26, 2021 You will see a number of notes and optional things you could do. This was necessary due to testing a variety of images and seeing their results and wanting the very best outcome for your particular hand chosen artwork.     Needed: Paint Shop Pro ( I used XV ). No outside filters are needed.  An image/Tube ( I used one I purchased through Creative Fabrica . ) Notes: You will need one with colors spread throughout, not mainly in one area. Using a tube that is somewhat close to the same width and height would be ideal. The one I used for the circular faux mask, sized down to upcoming dimensions was 426 width x 550 height, which is still great, because we can change our mask width.   Let's get started! 1. File > Open  Your tube   2. Window > Duplicate ( You can now close out the original .) 3. Image > Resize  Pixel Dimensions  Height/Width = 550 Pixels on largest side  Resample us
