1) Choose a picture you’d like to use the effect on, i chose the one below.

2) Go to LAYERS, then DUPLICATE.

1) Now you have 2 LAYERS

2) Go to ADJUST, then HUE AND SATURATION, then COLORIZE

1) Put the saturation bar on the right all the way to gray so your whole image turns to black and white. (hue color does not matter, since it will come out in black and white.)

1) Now go click the ERASOR TOOL.

1) You now can erase the black and white and color the areas you want to be colored, it’s good to use a circular brush around 80% hardness.

and i’m done!

Hey guys, sorry for the hard-to-read tutorial images, if they’re any bigger, they’ll mess up the layout ):  I’ll try to make the future tutorials easier to see and better cropped.  My god, school is in freakin 4 days ftw.  I got my school supplies today wooo.  I’m still waiting for my late shipment from American Apparel to ship my purple tee :.  Man, i can’t wait to start training for polo.  I’m so bummed that we don’t have a goalie though, that blowssss :(.  Oh boy, senior year! my 4th and last year of high school polo wowowowow.  High school sure happened pretty fast.. I should stop here before i start getting even more bummed out.  buh-byeee.

I used Paint shop pro 8 w/ this tutorial but PSP8 is similiar to older versions as well

1) Open up your Paint Shop Pro program

2) Pick an image you would like to use this effect on, i chose the image above.

1) Go to LAYERS, then DUPLICATE.

1) You now have 2 layers.

2) Go to EFFECTS, then DISTORTION EFFECTS, then PIXELATE.

3) It’s better if your pixelated block size is symmetric, the size i chose was 25.

4) After you’re done, your image should look pixelated and funky lookin’.

1) Now, go to LAYERS, then PROPERTIES.

1) In the drop-down menu to the right of “BLEND MODE: “, you can choose what kind of effect your pixelation will show up as, i chose OVERLAY.

and this is what i got!

Hey guys, just lettin’ ya know that tomorrow i’ll have up a few more backgrounds and new images up and i hope with the little that properpink has now, has been a little helpful with something. I could be adding some more stuff on the site but theres hell week at school for water polo and you know, gotta stay in shape and all that can’t just sit around all fat all summer right? School registration and is on Monday, ughh and school starts in like 3 weeks wthell. I can’t believe half my summer was wasted on summer school. Last time i had to go was like 6th grade, oh well, at least it was an easy pass and makes senior year a little more laid back. My neck is kinda hurting, so i guess i’m out.

ps. FEEDBACK IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED
