Let's begin
.....................................
Open your template in PSP, any PSP is fine, I still am using PSP7,
old habits die hard
The first thing is to use your freehand lasso tool....lasso all around the
snow on the xmas tree that you want to sparkle.........in PSP7 just hold down the shift key
until you have circled all you want to sparkle, right click to select all....now go to ...edit...copy...edit...paste as new image.....you now have all your snow that you want
to sparkle.....save this to a folder ....we will add the sparkle later...
This is what you will have,with no yellow showing, I just saved it
wrong
Before we go further, if you want to surround your lights and make them glow
now would be a good time, I didn't make mine glow as it would have made
too much animation
On your template....Close off all the snow layers and open the background layer..with your lasso tool...
lasso around the frame and the xmas trees like so
Go to selections....load to alpha channel and name it frame
Add a new layer and name it text...add whatever text you wish and keep that layer open at all times
Remember when you "load from alpha chanel" make sure you are
on the snow layer
Make sure your text layer...picture layer and background layer are open at all times....select none
