In this Lesson we will be working with some special effects. What you need to know; to work with layers, there are more than two images. And how to write the text on your finish fan art.   Save the images that you wish to use, and let's start. (Note  I'm sorry, I did not realize I had my PSP program set to Spanish lol but everything is in the same place, and the same just in Spanish) Let's start by selecting a new image, you can find this by clicking  File - New then you will see a window like the one below. What size you choose depends on what you want to make. If you want to make a Wallpaper, then choose a bigger size.       By now, you should know how to copy paste as a new layer the images you chosen to the blank image, (if not then go back to Lesson 1). Copy paste whatever images you will be using.  You should get an image as the one above. Once you get all the images in one place, do not forget to give it a background color. (if you do not how to do this refer to prior lessons) Now, we need to resize the images so we can have a good fit of all 3. Click on the third tool from the top, and the image will have a border like the one shown above, click with the mouse on one of the corners and while pressing the mouse button move to make the image smaller. Note, here we are working with layers so make sure you have the right image selected before doing anything with it.

Once you resize the images they should look something like this.

Now, let's work with he brightness and contrast of the images.

Make sure you have the right layer/image selected. Then go to Colors - Brightness/contrast. It should be the first one.

In here we will set up some characteristics like brightness and contrast. You may chose, as you like.

Mine is set to 55, so the image will look brighter, as in the one above.

I fixed like this. To move the images remember to use the tool that looks like 4 arrows. 

  Now I added one more image, and as you can see in the layer palette, I have quite a few layers. Again, is important that you know how to activate and de-activate the layers. Also, you can tell I move the transparency level, so you can see the candles through RH's face. (refer to prior lessons if you do not how to do this) I also erase the top of the added image, since all I wanted was the candles. Using the erase tool (looks like a eraser). 

As you can see, the new image (the one I just added) is in the back, to achieve this, first you must activate the right image. (Usually when you place a new image on a document is on the top) Once you have selected the right image then you go to layers and then to order, (as seen in the image below) in there you will see; bring to front, send to back. etc.. Do not use send to back, because it will send it all the way to the back, and we want the background to be the last layer, so just hit back, a few times until is the second from the bottom.  

Once you have that, then let's give the other two images some effects. Remember to select the right image first.

Go to Effects, then to Texture Effects and pick the first one.  

  In here you will get a window (sorry lost that image) that will show it the effect. Is like a vertical or horizontal window effect. Choose as you like it best. Press apply. Remember there are two separate images so you have to do one then the other one.

Then, once that effect is finish, let's do one more. Remember to pick the right image.

Go to Effects, then to Texture Effects and Pick Textile (last one).

You will get a window like this one, I encourage you to play with it, until it looks the way you like it. Remember as long as you do not press apply, there will be no changes.

Your image should look something like this (or not! ;})

 Now, add text to it then you are done. Mine looks like this

 

Finish!!!!!!

Give yourself a pad on the back... you did a great job!!
