Simple Picture Tubes.

Start with this image:  Click here  to download it.  Just copying from here will give you a white background that you really don't want.  The file is zipped and is in psp format so you can work with it.

Alright, now that you have downloaded it, open up the image in PSP5.   You will see 4 images across and 4 images down with a total of 16 images.  I used this image to give you an idea of what kind of tubes you can make.  Now, open a new image measuring 100 X 100 pixels X 16 million colors.

Turn on your grid.  If you haven't already set it, do so now by clicking on File in the Top Menu of your screen.  Click on Preferences. Now hit General Program Preferences.  A new popup menu appears that looks like the following image.  If you now have this on your screen, you are doing good. If you do not see this menu, click the tabs on the upper side to Rulers and Units.  Input the following:

Units: Pixels
Horizontal Spacing: 50
Verticle Spacing: 50
Line Color:  What ever you like (Click on Change to change the line color)
Hit OK.

Now, the new image should have a grid in it.  There should be two boxes across and two down.  Using your Selection tool    select 1 image at a time from the original image you opened, select Copy from the Edit menu.  Now, click on the new image.  Select Paste As New Selection from the Edit menu.  Place as centered as possible in one of the boxes.  Continue this same process until you have all four boxes filled with an image like the picture to your left. (you do not need to use the same images)

Now, you have your images for your tube.  You need to save it as a tube now.  Click on the File menu on top.  Click Export, Picture Tube.

A new popup screen appears, this is where you enter the information about the tube so the computer will understand it.  Just type in the information as I did here: I named it
Tutorialtube 1. Now, Hit OK.

To test the tube, open a new image of 50 X 50 pixels X 16 million colors. Now, find your Tube Brush symbol on your side menu.
Remember your Control Pallet?  You will now see a drop down menu appear in it.  Click on the Menu, and select Tutorialtube 1.

Now, click anywhere on your new image, if you see images appear, you made your first simple Tube!!
