Then, open each of them just as you would any image.
Then File|Export >>>Pictue Tube.
Type in the correct Across & Down information.
Enter whatever you like for the 3 righthand boxes, you can change them
later.
A good start is Random, size of a single image, Random
Click OK and PSP will write the pertinent information into your Tubes.ctl
file, which controls the Tubes menu.

however, no one has explained what one would use one for.....are they just
simple images to add to artwork we've already created?...Like adding
something to the surface of a button in addition to or instead of text?

either use them once or you collect them. But they are fun and
addictive, that's why so many people collect them.
The same could be said of custom brushes.

What you can use tubes for depends more on you than on the tubes. There are
people posting to this group who produce wonderful works of art using tubes.
They take a Leaf tube and make masterpiece pictures of the Tree of Life.
There are others who just like the feel of putting down a long string of
beetles just by dragging the mouse! Gives them a sense of power probably.
Me? I use them to save time. Each month I put student's picture on each of
my 6 class webpages. I try to put them on an interesting background. Since I
don't have time to create backgrounds, I often just use tubes as a quick and
easy production method.
And BTW, I am bald _and_ stupid. <G>

Take a look at my Xoom site in my signature below to see many examples of what
you can do with tubes. I have paintings, clipart, masks, brushes and other
tubes made from tubes, plus about 130+ tubes to download. (a dozen+ more coming
real soon)
They are more useful than clipart because there is no background to get in the
way. With the use of layers you can use tubes to make a scene such as a tree
filled forest behind a logo, or another interesting background.
Carefully crop yourself out of a photo in any room and put yourself outside in a
flower garden made with tubes. (you might have to adjust the color or contrast
of your image) Use grass, flowers, bushes, sky, cloud, and tree tubes to paint
the background and then paste the cropped image of yourself on a new layer above
the background. Add a new layer and paint a tube tree slightly in front of
youself with the branches barely coming in front of one side of your head so you
look like you are really -in- the garden. Were you holding an object in the
original photo? Select your hand and copy and paste it as a new layer then align
the copy of your hand over your handon the layer below below. Insert a new layer
between the photo of yourself and the hand alone layer and use a tube to paint
in a handful of picked flowers, a book or any other tube object that would look
natural in your hand position. See my Picking painting to see how the lady's arm
has a basket on it and her hand holding the back of the bench - done using this
method.
Another use is landscaping - what would your yard look like with a big tree in
the front yard? Scan a photo of your yard and grab a tree tube that resembles
that tree you'd like and paint it in whatever size fits the scene. How about
some flower beds along the sidewalk, or a row of hedges under the window? Paint
them in too with tubes, it helps to paint in each item on a separate layer so
you can hide, move or remove it if you don't like it or want to save several
copies of the image with various changes. Many of the nature related tubes are
made from photos or scans of real trees, flowers, bushes, etc so they look great
when used to touch up photos, unlike clipart.
You can use some tubes like a brush or make brushes from them, use them to fill
in a selection or background for incredible colors or textures. I've used them
to fill line art with color and texture, such as in my fern tubes which started
as black and white line drawings but were selected and painted with one of my
foliage tubes then color enhanced.
The ability to easily size tube items to fit the image you want to use it in and
the transparent backgrounds combined with the use of layers make tubes a very
powerful image creation tool.
What do I use the artwork I create with tubes for - besides giving them away on
the web? Well, my tube paintings I've used on greeting and note cards. I make
custom printed graphics for others with the tubes to include business cards,
invitations, flyers, banners and announcements. I have made game graphics,
logos and splash screens and web page art with my tubes. Tubes are easy to
customize to suit your projects. I give away mostly low resolution or smaller
sized tubes but I keep the high res and full size tubes for print work. (they
are too huge, up to 20+MB for one tube, to keep online)
Yes, you can add a tube image to a button instead of or in addition to text but
there's a lot more you can do with tubes. The button itself might be a tube
object, I have many pearlish buttonized tube objects on my site and my logo is
made from combining them with other tube objects and text. You might even find
some fancy text in a tube to put on your tube button. ;-)

I know that Diana has a tutorial or two about tubes on her site at
http://members.xoom.com/tubes as well as some artwork. I also have
some artwork using tubes. The scenes aren't that good, but the floral
designs don't look half bad. I did them all with tubes that I got
from Diana's site as well as others. You can access my pages from

in awe....Sure makes me realize I don't know a thing about PSP5...so much to

many NGs have the 'experts' and any question they deem stupid will only draw
sarcastic remarks or nothing at all.
Thank you both again,

Check out the Web sites of the great folks here who have made tubes
which they offer for download. Several of them have examples of images
they've made, some of which incorporate tubes to "spray on" foliage,
rocks, clouds, etc.
My example: I recently made a tube to make a card. My mother had sent my
wife a collection of beads & accessories for her birthday. For her Thank
You card, I scanned 9 of the most distinctive/colorful beads. I selected
each bead and tweaked it in PSP, then made a 3 X 3 tube. The front of
the card was "sprayed" with those beads. My mom loved it ("How did you
DO that", she asked in amazement!).
Personally, I don't download many tubes. I wait until I have a specific
need and then go get the appropriate tube. If it ain't out there, you
can just make your own. Painter has had its own twist on this with its
Image Hose for some time now, but JASC made it MUCH easier in PSP to
make your own.

It's kind of like owning a gas powered leaf blower. Most people don't
really need one, but they sure are a kick to run!

Happy to help where I can. I've had to lean on a few shoulders here myself at
times and folks have always come through for me.

question: some tube files have 4-6-8 different images. Is there a way to
pick one image to use? I wanted to use one rose for a drawing but I kept
getting random ones since the tube file has 4 of them. I am using PS Pro
5.1.
Thank you all for helping me. Elisy.

image out of many in a tube files, most of them have more than 4-6 images.
After I export to PS, how do you select one image? All of the ones in the
tube files just came out at random?

No can do - yet. If I want one image, I actually open the tube file in PSP and
copy that one image, or I open a scratch image file with a transparent
background, click to paint an image, hit delete until the one I want comes up
and then I copy and paste it into the image. Using the scratch file method lets
you choose the size first, but you can easily resize any tube image you copy and
paste by using the deformation tool. Use the right mouse button to
proportionally resize the image while it is still selected and floating.
