Make A Marble Tutorial

You will need Paintshop Pro 7.

1) You will need to start with the image of your choice, it should be fairly small.
 200 x 200 in our example.





2) Make sure that your image is a layer and not a backround.  Promote to layer if neccessary.
3) Go to Effects/ Geometric Effects/Circle.

You can omit this step, but if you do you will need to use your selection tool in a circle.  
Copy the portion you want to use
then paste as a new image.
Resize to 200x200 if needed.

This tends not to distort the image as much as doing the Geometric Effect.








4) Go to Image/Canvas Size and
 resize your canvas to 250x250
5)  Select the image, go to Selections/Modify/Feather/ 3


6) Go to Effects/ Eye Candy 3.1/Waterdrops.
The settings I used were:
Number of drops: 1; Edge darkness: 15;
Opacity:63; Refraction:15; Color: #C1EAF0;
Random Seed: 157;  Highlight Brightness: 94;
Highlight Sharpness: 79; Direction: 127;
Inclination: 57.

Play with these settings til you get what you like.


Now you can tube your marble and use it in any way you like.
