PSP8 Pixel Grape Hyacinth
Tut
This tutorial has been written using PSP8 but should
work in PSP7. Please take the time to read my terms.
Rather than me giving screen shots showing how many
pixels please drag this image to your work area to use as a
template.

1. Image, increase colour depth to 16 million
colours. Layers - Promote background to layer. With the magic wand
 ,
tolerance 0, feather 0, mode = add, select the white areas of the image
and delete so you only have the outlines. Or create a new
layer and with the paint brush at size 1 trace over the outlines using your
own colours.
note - for PSP7, hold Shft while using the magic
wand to select all the white areas.
Ctrl+D.

| 2. With the magic
wand click inside the stem. Flood fill with #91AC78. Effects - 3D

represents 1 pixel. |
