Let’s get started
You can use any version of Paint
Shop Pro. If you don’t have Paintshop Pro and you have GIMP or Photoshop I can
always Write up a Tutorial for those too. (Just email me that you would like me
to write a tutorials for both of the other program/software.
Supplies you need
I have zipped up the supplies that
you need below.
My Jar Selection
Click Here to get the Supplies for the Jar
When you unzip the files, all you
need to do is Copy the My Jar Folder and you will have to find your Paintshop
Pro Version on your Computer Cause we will need to Paste the My Jar folder in
your Selection folder.
All Computer downloads and places
program/software in different places. It depends on how it is setup and where.
If you have Windows 10, then I can
help you find the folder for you to put My Jar at.
When I download Paintshop Pro 2019
Ultimate, it put it in two places.
First Place in your Program Files
or Under This PC in Documents
Reason why its in both locations
like that is, in your documents un This PC it gives all the folders that you
can put stuff in, such as selection alpha channels, Mask, Preset Shapes,
Picture tubes and so on.
Click on the window Icon at the
bottom left side and you should see something like this
Click on Documents and it will pull
up everything you have on your PC in that Folder.
Find Corel Paint shop Pro and you
should have whatever Version you have in there. It should look something like
this below
Click on that Folder and you should
see something like this below
Click on the Selection folder, Right
Click your Mouse and Paste My Jar folder in the selection folder. If for some
reason you have forgot to Copy the folder at the beginning, its fine you just have
to find where you unzipped it and Copy My Jar folder and go back to your
Selection folder under your Version of Paintshop. It should look like something
like this
Open your Paint Shop
Open new image to 700x700 and
make sure the transparent is checked. You should have plenty of room to
work in.
You will need to create 5 Layers and
If I were you, I would make sure to Label them what they are.
Which they are: Line of Jar, Bottom,
Glass, Rim, and Top
After you got all your Layers all
done you are ready to put the Jar together.
Go to your Toolbar and find
Selections
Click selections, Drop Down window
will appear and find Load/save Selections
Side Drop Window will appear and
click on Load Selection to Disk
Find the Folder My Jar and
click on it
You should see 5 items in the folder
Lets start with the Body (line)
Jar selection, which is the line of the jar. Click
on it and click load. You will see those Marching Ants that shows you the outline of the Jar. Make sure the
Layer you are working on is highlighted in blue. We are going to Color the
Lines of the Jar. Click on your Flood Fill Tool and pick any color you want.
When you choose a color, you need to fill that color in between the lines. The
lines should be whatever color you choose. You can now click on selection and
click none. So, the Marching Ants are not there anymore.
Don’t worry about how the jar looks like
right now, I will be showing you later on how to move everything to the center.
So, your Body Line Jar Layer should
look something like this
Lets go to the next Layer Bottom
selection do the same thing, click on Selection, click on Load/Save
Selection, and click on Load Selection to Disk. Find the fold My Jar and click
on Bottom and Load. Make sure that this Layer is on the bottom of your Layer
Pallet on your Right side. You should see the marching ants outlining the image,
this means you are ready to use your Flood Fill Tool and pick a color and fill
the bottom selection whatever color you choose. If you are happy with what you
see so far, click on Selection and click none. So, the Marching Ants are not
there anymore.
So Your Bottom Layer should look something
like this

Glass selection do the same thing, click on Selection, click on Load/Save
Selection, and click on Load Selection to Disk. Find the fold My Jar and click

and fill the Jar Glass selection.
If you are happy with what you see so far, click on Selection and click none. So, the Marching Ants are not there anymore. We will come back to this Layer to make the glass look more like glass.
Lets go to the next Layer Jar Rim Selection do the same thing, click on Selection, click on Load/Save Selection, and click on Load Selection to Disk. Find the fold My Jar and click on Jar Rim and Load.

anymore.

Let’s make sure we center the jar; this is how you do it.
You need to go to your Layer Palette on your right - You see all your Layers you have done
You need to make sure all those
layers are highlighted in blue
Your first Layer should be already Highlighted
Hold your Control Button and Click
the next Layer
And you just keep doing that until
it looks like this
If your Layers look like the above image then you are ready to go on to the next step.
On your Tool bar in your program you
will need to click Objects
Then click Align
And go all the way down until you
see Horiz Center in Canvas
Your Jar should be in the center of
the canvas now.
Make sure your Layers are in this order, if they are not just drag them up or down wherever they need to be at. Just like the Image above
Now we need to go back to the Glass Layer
Click on the Glass Layer so it will
be active
You should see on your Layer Pallet
the word Normal and the number 100
This is called Blend Mode
If you don’t see it on your Pallett,
click on your Flood Fill Tool and you will see it on the tool bar where you can
change the settings.
We need to click the little arrow
that is next to the word Normal, you will get a drop-down window with all the
Blend modes
We need to click on Soft Light, it should look little bit more darker and faded.
Your Jar should now look like this
We have couple more things to do with the Jar and then we will start with Making the Lamp Shade.
Since your Jar looks like a Jar now we are going to design the Lid and put something in the jar.
Click your Lid Layer and use your Magic wand tool and click the lid
It should look like this
