Inspired by Ronni, who already understands how far from tutorials I can wander.
We will use a JASC custom brush to make a tube that can be used for icing/piping and whatever else you can think up. You will also learn a few handy tricks and colorizing basics.
SAVE OFTEN.
Click OK.
Wait! Don't forget to change that custom brush back to normal.
Open a new image. Click on the tube tool and choose your new tube. Resize the tube down from 100. I used 30-50 in my screen shots. Hold down your mouse and drag it around. You should see a long string thing.
If that was too easy for you, try this.
Repeat the steps above using a preset shape and foreground and background styles set to white, width 2.
Use the same inner bevel and shadow and then save as a tube using the continuous placement and step 1.
Test out your new tube in a new transparent image.
You can colorize your creations with the Colors->Colorize option in PSP. Colorize works best on non-solid white or black images. Now you see why I specified all the bevel, shadow and foreground colors.
Unfamiliar with Colorizer? Walk through my Colorizer lesson for pointers.
A possibility: Celery and peanut butter or cream cheese anyone?
I see celery, filling, whipped topping and pasta. What do you see these tubes as?
PSP7 tool icons are from MaMaT's icon tubes.
