Life's A Circus
This tutorial was written by me on May 21, 2020 using my own ideas.
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:
My Word Art Below_click image, then right click and save the
full size png
*I have provided both the Black/White and colored version of
this word art.
You can either color it to match your chosen tube, follow
the steps to color like mine, or use
the one that is already colored to match this tag. Choice is
yours. :)*

*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
and Black.*
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.
