Hop Stuff FTU Tutorial by Penny


Hop Stuff

This tutorial was written by Penny aka: Venomous Creations, on March 09, 2019 exclusively for the Artistic Tag Passions PSP forum.

I used my own ideas, and any resemblance to others is coincidental and accidental.

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP and is written in PSPX/PSPX6 but can be done in any version. 

SUPPLIES:

"Leprechaun Bunny"  by Laguna HERE
- tube/license currently available at PFD 

Template 88 by Simple Expressions HERE

Filters:
Filters Unlimited 2_Paper Textures 

Fonts:
Hearth Stone 

Abbreviations:

DS_Drop Shadow

ANL_Add New Layer

EC_Eye Candy

GG_Gradient Glow

AS_Animation Shop

C/P_Copy and Paste

FF_Flood Fill 

*When working with templates, I use the Manual Color Correction Tool (MCCT):

Highlight template layer

Click on the MCCT

Set top box to original layer color

Set bottom box to new color

Click OK

If you want to use the same color with different shades, simply click each template layer and apply the MCCT

WITHOUT changing the bottom color. This usually works giving each layer a different shade of the same color.

Occasionally you will find a template that this will not work on tho, so in that case simply change the colors each time.

This works great on templates with different shades of Gray.* 

There is a great mini-tut on how to use the MCCT by Justfi HERE

Another way to color template layers:

When working with templates, always Shift+D to duplicate, close original,

then on each layer, select with magic wand (or Select All, Float, De-float), ANL,

close/delete the original, do steps required in tutorial, select none 

Try it out and see what works for you. 

STEPS 

Close/delete the following template layers:

Credits, the 6 flower layers, and the leaf layer.
