I don't understand what 'tubes' are
Mike Contento
Hi,
I have been reading about tubes and I don't know if I'm dense or
what, but I'm just not getting what they are, or what they're for.
I've seen some tube webpages, but I still don't understand how you
make them or what one does with them, backgrounds, buttons, or what?
I have version 4.2 of PSP and I'm debating with myself whether to upgrade
or not. Figuring out this tube thing would help in my decision.

I dl'd foliage, flowers & butterfly tubes and made a gorgeous picture by
just click, click, click, no real artistic talent needed. Next, I am going
to experiment with making a background by covering a solid color with tube
pictures.

I am going to be putting up a page soon dedicated to web backgrounds
(not sets like I've done before, just the backgrounds) and will be doing
a section completely devoted to backgrounds I've made with picture
tubes. The whole site will practically be made from picture tube
graphics.
I will post the URL when it's open!

Above is the url to my tube painting, one use for tubes - but only after you've
collected enough of them to build a useable library of image types.
I filled the background with a pale blue color, added a layer, painted it 3/4 of
the way with the shrub tube, varying the size. Added another layer, painted
with the grass tube. Next layer was a sprinkling of color with flower tubes;
rockflower, daisies, roses. Next layer was the fence, a piece of clipart I
made, which I stretched in the horizontal perspective and used a light opacity
to make it look less bright. Next layer was the stone fence, just a slightly
lowered opacity layer of the river stone tube. Next layer was the ivy and
english ivy tubes which cover the fence and stones, opacity lowered somewhat.
Next layer I added a bit more grass around the fence edges at this time. Then a
layer for the butterflies tube.
To finish up, the sky was dusted with the light cloud tube and I copied and
pasted the whole picture into Ulead's Photo Assistant to get that headstone or
iron bottom edge effect and shadow.

Nice little demo Diana! It gives me the feeling of looking out a window into
a wild garden. I think the peaked arch makes me think "Castle- Medievial",
too.
I'd like to have a place we could put up pictures like that to demonstrate
what can be done!
