Click here to go to Part 1 to begin this tutorial This tutorial was written for Paint Shop Pro (PSP), but can probably be used for other versions as well.

14		With Paint Shop Pro (PSP) open, open up the image you saved in blender. Now go to Layers \| Promote to layer . Now duplicate the layer by going to layers \| Duplicate

15		Now add a gaussian blur by going to Effects \| Blur \| Gaussian Blur , and enter "18 ". Now click on the first layer , and then go to Layers \| Duplicate . Move this second, duplicated layer to the to p, and set the blending mode to screen .

16		Next, make a new raster layer by going to Layer \| New Raster Layer , and then set it's blending mode to color in the layer palette.

17		Last, select the flood fill tool , and press Ctrl-A . Now fill this layer with the color you want your crystals to be. Mine was #F8B000. And finally, you are done! Now add grids, scanlines, text, etc. to make a cool splash, interface, or wallpaper. If you liked this tutorial, would like to offer a suggestion, or ask a question, feel free to contact me .
