STEP 4
The grass : New layer. Click on the Picture Tube tool and select the Lawn tube - set the scale at 75%. Add the lawn so that it goes over the foot of the different buildings; don't worry about going out of the frame on the left, right and at the bottom.
Activate the Stamp frame layer the click once inside. Go back to the grass layer and click on Selections > Invert and hit the delete key on your keyboard.
Move the black border so it is above this grass layer.

Text/ Name and Credits: Do not leave your tag empty.
Add your name with the Signature font or one of your choice - Size 32 - #000000 and selctions > Modify > Expand by 2 pixels. Fill with white and move this layer under the Text layer.
Add a Drop shadow.
|
H=2 |
O=60 |
|
V=2 |
B=4 |
New layer and add the correct credits, using the Pixelette font in size 6 without the antialias.
STEP 6
Texturizer: Merge visible all the layers except the background layer. Your merged image must be transparent. And apply the Texturizer:
|
|
Curved Effect: Click on Effects > Distortion Effects > Wave.
I work with PSP X2 and these settings work with other versions of PSP except PSP 7. So if you use PSP 7 and the same settings as me, your result will be different.

|
Shadow: Duplicate this layer. Selections > Select All > Selections > Float > Selections > Defloat and fill with black. Deselect All.
Effects or Adjust > Blur > Gaussian Blur of 3.
Image > Flip. Move this layer under the original and slightly to the right. Move it so it also shows a bit at the bottom. Click on Layers > Properties and set to 40.
Grey border around the stamp: Activate the original layer and Selections > Modify > Expand by 1 pixel. Add a layer and fill with #C0C0C0. Move this new layer under the text layer and above the Shadow layer.
STEP 7
Add a layer and fill with white. Your result must be on a white background for our PSP 4 ALL results page. Merge visible and save optimized as a .jpg.
