Wildheart of Wildheart’s Works brings you Texture Tuesday. Wildheart is a Paintshop Pro expert, but I know you’ll enjoy the tips and tricks even if you’re not a PaintShop Pro user. And you’ll find plenty of ideas to help you work with textures in your own program. In fact in this week’s segment she actually converts a Photoshop tutorial to Paint Shop Pro.

This weeks segment finds me at BittBox I found this awesome tutorial titled

Photoshop: How To Make An Awesome Grungy Paper Texture From Scratch

Well me being me and wanting to test a Photoshop tutorial in Paint Shop Pro this just begged to be cross tested.

Instead of using the brown paper that they used I used a green paper. In Step 2 they go into Filters>Texture>Texturizer. In Paint Shop Pro I went into Effects>Texture and used a cross hatch texture then I flipped it and applied the same texture again.
In Step 4 I didn’t have the brush they recommended using for the eraser effect so I used one of mine that I found from a brush series called Tha Brush. Then I adjusted the settings to as close as possible as Paint Shop Pro would let me.
In Step 7 instead of using the brush they did for the brush effect, I used a grunge brush I learned how to make about two years ago and I also used a typeset brush then I just went in and randomly added around the edge of the paper so the inside still looked brighter.
Here is the finished result.

So you can see that adapting a Photoshop tutorial is possible in Paint Shop Pro you just have to play with the settings and have a good working knowledge of both programs to figure out the similarities in property names such as in the effects for the texture.

I hope you enjoyed this I had a lot of fun with it.
