hi all, I'm looking for a tutorial for creating colored pencil pictures from other pictures sources. I need it for paint shop pro 7 - that what I use thanks, regards, aryeguetta

Hmmm, I believe I have a tutorial for that saved. I'll try and look for it today sometime.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

I found this link, it's not what I was thinking about, but it's start. http://www.visualmuse.net/colorsketchtut.htm You can also go into "Effects" and "Artistic Effects" and use "Colored Chaulk". I'll post the other method if I can find it.

I was going to suggest Virtual Painter - I sometimes use an earlier version with PSP7 - but when I saw the advertising blurb, I nearly changed my mind. :/ "I couldn't believe how easy it is to become an artist."

lol, Virtual Painter must have a "make art" button.

I bought that years ago and I think I only used it once. It was an impulse buy and in hindsight I can't see the point of that program.

If you haven't already, you might want to post this request on the Paint Shop Pro forum as well.

Every so often it seems to do the right thing - or I like to think so... This is an example of the oil painting plug-in, and not at all a shameless plug. ;)

Virtual painter seems also good to me.I bought it.Finally,i thinks it wasn't as good as it seems at first .The controls of the effects are too limited

In my opinion Virtual Painter is best used to create image-enhancing layers rather than to flat-out modify your original image. Using the "pastel" feature to create a hue layer can really punch up an image's vividness, for example, in ways that merely turning up the saturation won't do. The problem with the oil painting and some of the other modules is that if you simply accept their transformations at 100% strength, those in the know will recognize what plug-in you used, and be more likely to be dismissive, as it looks like a simple plugin did your work for you, rather than thoughtful consideration of process. When I used it, I found VP to be a very powerful tool. I just wouldn't recommend using the effects "out of the box" as it were. I like using Photoshop more in the spirit of a paintbox than as sort of a magical robot. VP can be an E-Z "make art" toy if you like, but the results will not be nearly as impressive as if you use it as just one of many tools in your arsenal. And yeah, the Poser Sketch Designer doesn't get the workout it deserves. The default colored pencil setting is one of the best of the defaults. Playing with the settings is wise. Don Albert's presets at DAZ are very fine. The "Sketchbook Sketch Designs" package includes an alternate colored pencil preset, as well as the lovely Coquille Color present.
