For this tutorial you'll need:

- Paint Shop Pro, get it here

- Unplugged Colors filter, download it here, and save it in your Plugins folder

- This brush - unfortunately I don't remember where I downloaded it, so I can't give credit for it :( - save it in your brushes folder

- This image, save it and open in PSP, you can use your own image, but in this case the effect of the filter may be different.

Let's begin!

1) Open the image

2) Go to Effects - Plugins - Unplugged Colors - Hue Flip - click ok

3) Set your background to a light yellow, Image - add borders - 10 symmetric

4) With your Magic Wand feather 0, select the border, go to Effects - texture - sculpure - gold - apply it twice

5) Keep selected, go to effects - inner bevel - rounded, deselect

6) Set your background to a light colour taken from the image

7) Image - Add borders - 25 Symmetric, select the border with your Magic Wand, Selections/ invert, go to Effects - Drop Shadow these settings: Hor and Ver 2, Opacity 100, Blur 22, apply another Drop Shadow changing Hor and Ver to -2. Deselect
