(all other settings should be the default) Size: will depend on your font - make it large enough to fill your image pretty much from side to side Select the Text tool (located in the Tool Palette).Create a New Image (Raster), 500 x 250 pixels, transparent.Now change the ANGLE of your gradient to 90.When you've got the bar with your new gradient the way you want it, click the OK button.
Keep clicking each crayon in turn and repeat the process you just did - moving slowly from left to right.You should now see that same yellow inside the bar of the new gradient you're creating! See how the cursor turns into a Dropper tool? Perfect! After clicking, move your cursor up to hover over the sample image. Click inside the tiny square of the first 'crayon' (going left to right).How do you change the colors to match - or pretty much match - the gradient sample I've provided? It's easy! Each time you click somewhere below the bar, you create another 'crayon.' Below it are what look like tiny crayons. In the Gradient area of the Gradient Editor, you'll see a color bar. Click 'New' and name your gradient whatever you wish.
Inside the Materials window click the Edit button. Another window will be opening, so you need to make space!!! You can let a large portion of this window 'disappear' - so keep dragging until you can still see the 'Edit' button before you stop. IMPORTANT! You must be able to SEE the sample gradient sample you've copied into your workspace! If necessary, GRAB AND DRAG the Materials window down toward the left-hand BOTTOM - put your cursor over the top bar of the window, click and drag. If for some reason you don't have Gradient selected, click on the Gradient tab now. Click once in the center of the the top window to open the Material window. Click the first button (which probably reads Color) and change it to Gradient (second choice). Hover the top window - it should show a popup that reads: Foreground and Stroke Properties. I'm not going to spend much time on how to create a custom gradient, but I think you'll be surprised just how easy it is to do! Now drag the gradient image way up into the top right-hand corner! So you'll need to Copy and Paste the following image into Paint Shop Pro: You're going to make a gradient similar to the one I created for this tutorial. The first thing to do is to create a gradient similar to the one I used! (I was asked HERE if I could translate a PS tutorial to achieve this effect - and I think I came pretty close! As I always say, PSP can do pretty much everything that PS can do.) (this is a small version - see the large version under the cut) Here's a pretty gradient text effect that's fairly easy to create!
