The PSP X2 Coloring Illustrations Tutorial 
Paint Shop Pro Coloring
Tutorial information: This video tutorial is highly recommended for for all new users of Paint Shop Pro. We feel it will prepare you for the basics of using the program, and certainly inspire you to design more with the program. We will show you how to take a grayscale or black white special illustration, and color it in with multiple layers. I will show you how to use my favorite Paint Shop Pro effect known as the "Cutout Effect" and you will see just how incredible that tool is as it bring's your graphic to life. You will learn how to use Gaussian blur, and how to set your opacity / transparency settings within your layers. From this tutorial you will be able to color in sketches, charcal drawings, and more. Choose your own fun colors and to be creative. Learning how to color this way will prepare you for the next level of color with layers such as RGB and more.
