STEP 1: Mask

Open a new transparent image 650x575 in PSP.
Fill with #000000.
         Select paper DCD_HOMe_Paper(5). Remove the two brown strips on the right and left to keep the image in the middle. With the Selection Tool, select a square of 528 pixels each side. Then Image > Crop to Selection.
Edition > Copy and click on your work, Edition > Paste as a new layer.
Click on Image > Resize (Make sure Resize all layers is unchecked) and enter 125%.

Open Mask 30 and apply. Masks > New > From image - OK. Then Masks > Delete. In PSP 8 and above, it's under Layers > New Mask Layer > From Image. OK then Delete.

STEP 2: Elements and Tube

Once each element is resized, sharpen if necessary:
Adjust > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask
