NEEDED:

I did this in Paint Shop Pro 9

(a) BumsRushSB.pspimage

(b) A close to square shaped graphic

Performance notes:

We will be pasting a graphic into a circular

selection so the focus of the image should

be in the center . Multi colored graphics

will work well for the swirl that we use.

All settings will remain the same unless

otherwise noted.

OPEN PAINT SHOP PRO

1 Open your graphic of choice

2 Edit > Copy

3 Dropper Tool

Select a dominant color from

your graphic as your Foreground

color. This is going to be your

background color of your side

border tile.

Select a background color from

your graphic or you might prefer

using a gold or silver pattern

fill etc.. Up to you.

This will be used to color your frame

borders.

4 File > Open

BumsRushSB.pspimage

5 Shift + D (duplicates image)

6 Close the BumsRushSB.pspimage

Now your duplicate will probably be

showing as Image 3 unless you had

something else already opened in

psp.

7 Selections > Select All

8 Edit > Paste > Paste into Selection

This will paste the graphic into Image 3

9 Effects > Distortion Effects > Twirl

Settings:

Degrees = 720

10 Effects > Texture Effects > Emboss

11 Selections > Select None

12 Effects > Image Effects > Seamless

Tiling

Settings:

Tiling method = Corner

Direction = Bidirectional

Both Horizontal and Vertical offsets at 0

Transition% = 50

Linear = Checked

13 Layers > New Raster Layer

14 Flood Fill Tool

Settings:

Match mode = None, Sample Merged

Flood fill your new layer with your

Foreground color.

15 Lower the opacity slightly on your

new filled top layer so the layer shows

the texture of the layer underneath.

To me it looks like it would be 90-95.

Adjust to your preference.

Sometimes less is more artistically

speaking! lol

Note: I prefer not to merge layers after

this so at the end I can make any final

adjustments to improve the appearance

before I save.
