With this tutorial we will create a realistic looking rainbow to add to your photos and other images. Tut is beginner level and, although it has been written for Paint Shop Pro version 7, notes are also included for version 6 users. We will be using the 'fading spectrum' gradient supplied with PSP.

Before we start, let's review the following program notes:

This tutorial was written for Paint Shop Pro version 7. Users of version 6 should be able to follow along, however some tools or tool names may be different.

The foreground and background color swatch boxes for PSP 7 will be referred to as Stroke for the outline/foreground color and Fill for the background color.

No textures will be used in this tutorial, so set both texture Styles boxes to Null Ø.

Most of the tutorial text and images are located on a second, printer friendly page. Because of too many illegal links to tuts, I may soon install passwords on all tutorial pages or install some other device to prevent more bandwidth theft....please link to or bookmark THIS start page, not the following page.

Note: After surveying many tutorial users...it seems the majority prefer tutorials that are on one long page rather than multiple short pages...and I agree! This makes it easier to print out or save for offline use...however, it also means it will take a little longer for my tutorial pages to load...please be patient!
