Add the script in the Scripts-Trusted folder (See below - STEP 3).



STEP 1 - Background and borders

1. Open an image 650x450

2. Selections > Select All.

3. Pastethe paper paper_EF (5) into Selection.

4. Selections > Select None.

5. Effects > Mehdi > Weaver.


6. Add a layer and fill with green #214313.

7. Open mask sg_shaded-stripes.

8. Layers > Nouveau Mask Layer > A partir d'une image

9. Choose mask sg_shaded-stripes.


10. OK.

11
. Layers > Merge > Merge group.

12. Duplicate.

12. Set the original layer on Screen and the copy on Overlay.

14. Merge visible the 3 layers.

15. To make the borders, I used this script: PSP4ALL_StPat_mf26.PSPScript.

16. Check you have the necessary filter: Italian Editors Effect - Fantasma.

17. Take the script PSP4ALL_StPat_mf26.PSPScript in the supplies.

18. And place it in the Scripts-Trusted of your PSP.

19. To find this folder, have a look under File > Preferences > File Locations and then look for Scripts-Trusted.

20. Note the location and navigate to it and place my script PSP4ALL_StPat_mf26.PSPScript in folder.

21. Let's check that the Script toolbar is visible.

22. If it isn't visible, right click in the grey area of your toolbar at the top, and select Toolbars > Script


23. Then you will have this. Click on the first arrow pointing downwards and select the script: PSP4ALL_StPat_mf26


24. If you are going to use my colours for the borders: white, black and green, check that the button Toggle Excution Mode is not pushed in.

25. If you are going to use different colours, then push in Toggle Excution Mode before starting.


26. Then click on the second arrow- the arrow pointing right, to execute the script.

27. If you prefer, or if there is a problem you can do the borders manually using the info in the txt file PSP4ALL_StPat_mf26_Borders_mf26, in the supplies.
