Paint Shop Pro Tutorials -- Colored Spheres | |||||||||||||||||
|
| |||||||||||||||||
Creating Colored Spheres with Paint Shop ProA simple colored sphere is easily created. Open a new 175x175x16.7 million-color file. Set the foreground color to the color that you want the button to be and set the background color to white. Select the selection tool and set the Selection Type to circle and the Feather option to 0. Place the cursor in the upper-left corner of the image and click and drag so that you have a circular selection as demonstrated in figure 11.1.
Select the Flood Fill tool. Click on the Fill Style pull-down menu and choose Sunburst Gradient. Click on the Options button to bring up the Gradient Fill Origin dialog box (see figure 11.2).
Enter 75% and 25% for the Vertical and Horizontal offsets, respectively. Click OK. Click anywhere in the selected area to fill the circle with the sunburst gradient (see figure 11.3)
I purposely created this button a little bigger than I wanted it to be. The reason was that I knew it would be a little jagged. By creating it a bit larger and then resizing it I knew I could get rid of the jagged edges. Choose Image, Resample. NOTE: If the Resample option is grayed out it's possible that you're color depth is set at less than 16.7 million colors. If this is the case, choose Colors, Increase Color Depth, 16 Million colors.
In the Resample Dialog box (see figure 11.4) check the Custom size radio button and enter 100 in both windows under the Custom size caption.
Click OK. You should have an image similar to figure 11.5.
That's it.... Be sure to check out some of our other Paint Shop Pro tutorials.
