Does anyone know of any custom paint brush that looks like water, or water
droplets?. I've tried using the mist and fog effects, but I really want a
water, or water droplet pattern. I want it as a light background then the
text over top.

Cheers,
Rick

This isn't a custom brush as you're asking for, but I have a couple of
different water droplet patterns that you can put in your papers/textures
folder and use as the paper texture with the regular brushes. If you want
them, send me an email and I'll send them to you.

I have some that I got from a site listed at http://pluginhead.i-us.com/
listed under brushes, they are for Photoshop but work quite well in PSP. If
you can't find them then email me and I'll send you a copy of the ones I
have.

Ron,

Thanks for your offer, I'd like to give the water droplet tube a try if
you could e-mail it to me. I still use version 5.01 but I don't see why it
shouldn't be compatible.

Cheers,
Rick

You might want to check out the tubes at Hoods. They have a really nice
tube that's a 3D water droplet. You can find it at

| The PSP 6.0x tubes probably will not work in version 5.0x

This is mostly true--you can't just point PSP5 at your PSP6 tubes folder and
expect it to work. You do have two options:

Option 1: Run the tube converter and check the second radio button "Recreate
Paint Shop Pro 5 tubes.ctl file from Paint Shop Pro 6 tubes. This option is
best if you want to run a batch job and export everything -- it's a fast,
one-step process.

Option 2: Move the relevant PSP6 tubes into the PSP5 tubes folder. Open each
in PSP5 as an image (the browser helps here) and re-export as a PSP5 tube.
This option is best if you only have a tube or two you want to convert back
to PSP5 -- it saves disk space by not duplicating .tub files.

| There is a TubeConverter program that converts PSP 5.0x

Option 1 described above is basically the "De-Converter" you're looking for.

I am so glad you asked this! In trying to think of a reply to help you, I
tried something that worked great and I will help me out a lot in the
future.

If you are using PSP 6, open the water drops tube file. Select one of the
drops -- switch to paint brush -- custom -- create. At first I thought I
would need to remove the shadows but they add a nice reflective quality.
Depending on your plans for your final image you can get some nice effects
painting the drops in the contrasting color to your background. The tube
files used by themselves are great but they do not allow you to so easily
alter the color.

Hope this works for you, too : )

format?
when you do not have PSP 5 installed anymore

do you run the exe and install them in a temp folder and run tubes
converter from there?

Actually the tube Ron sent me works perfectly fine in PSP 5.0x, I'm still
running version 5.01.
