Paint Shop Pro Tutorial "Glass Block"

Picture of Step 1 Open a new picture (any size), background should be white and colors set to 16 million. Draw a blue filled rectangle.
Picture of Step 2 Use the magic wand and click on the blue rectangle to select it.
Picture of Step 3 From the top line menu click "Selections" then "Modify" then "Feather". Set feather to 9 and click OK.
Picture of Step 4 Press the delete key about 5 to 6 times or until most of the blue is gone.
Picture of Step 5 Zoom in on the top left corner of what is left of the rectangle and find the darkest cluster of dots. This is really just one pixel of light blue and will be exactly in the corner.
Picture of Step 6 Paint the pixel right above the darkest cluster of dots that you found in the corner. This is very important and must be exact.
Picture of Step 7 Paint well inside the rectangle to fill in most of the rectangle.
Picture of Step 8 Paint right above what you just filled in, to complete most of the inside feather.
Picture of Step 9 Staying away from the corners, paint the remaining white lines surrounding the inside blue rectangle. If you paint the corners you will lose the glass effect.
Final Step STEP 10: Dezoom and deselect. Reduce to 256 or 16 colors. Shown here is 16 colors.
