Begin by downloading the Horses zip file from the main page, or the alternate site. It contains the Horses image, and these tubes: the Star and Snowglobe snow; the globe image and the globe base used in this tutorial. Unzip the images and move the tube files into your Tubes folder within your PaintShop Pro program.

1. Open the horse image in PSP. This image needs to be sized down to 25%, and because the globe is so dark we will sharpen the image. From the Menu bar click on Image - Sharpen - Unsharp mask.

2. Now right-click on the titlebar area of the horses image and choose Copy, this will put the sharpened horses image on your clipboard.

3. Next, from the menu bar, open a New Image. (After working this tutorial, I'd make the Height of the new image 350 so you have plenty of room to work instead of the 300 as shown.)

Type in #193D73 for the HTML Code:, continue by double-clicking inside the lower box and entering the HTML Code of #162F57. Now we will floodfill our new image with the 162F57 color. Click on the Flood Tool Icon

, then right-click inside the new image we just created, this should fill it with color.

4. Now, right-click in the titlebar area of this new image and choose Paste As New Layer. This puts the horses on a layer above the blue background. Use the mover tool

to move the image into the upper left area of the canvas, after doing this tut, I would advise positioning it a bit lower than the way it looks in the image below, this way there is room for the globe base image to be applied on a later layer. It should look something like this now (only a bit lower):

5. From the Menu bar click on Layers - New Raser Layer. Leave all the settings just as they are and click ok.

6. Click on the Tube icon

, then scroll to find the Globe1 Ball drk tube. One click will apply it to this new layer. It will be the wrong size, so use the Deformation Tool

to move it into position, and size it to almost cover the Horses image. Your image should now look about like this.

7. We will now give the Horses image an interesting edge effect. So click on layer2 of the Layer Palette. This activates just the Horses image layer. Use the Eraser Tool

, set to round shape, to take large scallops out of the edge of the image, as shown below.

When you're finished the image should look something like this (Lol, caught my Tool Options palette in this picture but I am sure you got the idea):

I also move the transparency on the globe down a little to 85% as I believe the overall image just gets too dark otherwise.

Place the tool slightly within the Horses image and drag the color outward. Do this all the way around the image, when finished it should look something like this.
