| 1 | | This is a Selection tutorial so download your zip file here. Open Paint Shop Pro. There are only three colors used for the Pyramid Globe Palette. The maroon of the base is #800000, White and Black. We will also be using Blade Pro for the glass frame and trims. Included in the zip file are the base legs and topper in PSP format. 1. Open a new image 480 x 500 Transparent. Selection tutorials are rather repetitious so I will list the steps we will be taking. 1. New layer and load selection.
2. Flood fill with color.

| 9 | | From here on you can save in PSP format. I usually save in PSP format with all layers intact. You can use your Pyramid Globe to display anything you'd like, be sure to put your image below the "glass" layers so that it will appear as if inside the globe itself. Add some highlights on the glass, too. |
